About The Sasanishiki Brown Rice's Cultivation
This pesticide-free Sasanishiki brown rice produced by Yuri Honjo City is cultivated in the blessed land full with a high quality and abundant water veins of Mount Chōkai, the soil of rice fields is suitable for making delicious rice.
In addition, most of the rice fields are located in the valley which has temperature difference that can provide suitable conditions for rice growth and harvest.
The Sasanishiki brown rice cultivated in the most suitable soil for rice production is cultivated with four farming methods.
1. Natural Return Farming Method
This method is done by doing farming as close to natural environment as possible.
- Done by increasing the amount of indigenous bacteria that have been established in each land.
- Radically improve the weak energy value of irrigation water.
- Cultivation takes measures that correspond to crop physiology as much as possible.
That is the 3 basic pillars for doing natural return farming method.
2. Aigamo Farming Method
A farming method is done with releasing Aigamo ducks (cross-breed of wild and domestic ducks) to the rice fields to feed on pests and weeds.
Because the ducks are swimming there, the water's turbidity produces a suppression effect.
This Aigamo farming method could suppress weeds which is the biggest problem for producing rice or doing pesticide-free / chemical fertilizer-free cultivation.
The Aigamo farming method really does kill two birds with one stone because it is a farming method that doesn't need to use pesticides at all.
3. No-till Farming Method
A farming method that produces rice without disturbing the soil through tillage.
By doing this, you can see a traditional and natural scenes such as fireflies and loaches breed in the paddy fields and many birds passing by the field.
This method is very attractive because it only requires half fuel for the farming work, and suppress the methane gas which has a strong environmental impact.
It can also cultivate extreme phase bacteria and extreme phase bacteria compost.
4. Paper Multi Farming Method
It is a farming method using recycled paper for environmentally friendly agriculture.
It uses recycled paper and weeds to produce suppression effect.
Since recycled agricultural paper is decomposed by the microorganisms in the rice fields, it is unnecessary to collect it.
No pesticides or chemical fertilizers are used for this farming method.
Along with the delicious taste, we deliver the "safe and secure" food.

Message from Rice Producer
In recent years, the concern for the safety of agricultural and livestock products has grown enormously.
The modernization and productivity improvement principal of agriculture from the postwar era turned agriculture products into chemical-based products, so consumers will have to pay for the consequence.
Considering those backgrounds, the price might be cheap although it is in large quantity.
Meanwhile in present, people become more consumptive.
Maybe it is best to not only concerned about the taste and quality, but also about the food safety as well.
Because there are people who are concerned about the food safety, agricultural products such as “pesticide-free” are currently in trend.
However, there are standards for those "pesticide-free" products. And there are many different cultivation methods.
We are building a safe and delicious farming method from many of those methods that are pesticide-free and doesn't use any chemical fertilizer.
- 1. Keep on maintaining the field's fertility to make the constitution of rice stronger.
It will make the rice plant become strong against diseases and pests. - 2. Reduce the number of chemical fertilizers and use natural fertilizer instead to harvest rich and nutritious food.
It is The Suda Corporation's way of thinking about agriculture.
Rice can actually grow even without pesticides and fertilizers.
It can grow with the original power from the rice, and it can still grow without human's hands.
That is the awaken power from the plants.
Besides, if you give only natural fertilizers to it, you can make safe rice grown only with substances that exist in nature.
With this statement as our base, we are providing brown rice, white rice, and black rice based on the four farming methods (Natural Return Farming Method, Aigamo Farming Method, No-till Farming Method, and Paper Multi Farming Method).
