[192 Rice Balls] Rice Ball & Beer Event (Brown Rice with Shimanto River Seaweed)

The recent rice ball & beer event was featured on the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries' social media account, "It's Gotta Be Rice!"
Clap clap!

In fact, Japan has an extremely low food self-sufficiency rate among developed countries (37% on a calorie basis).

However, rice balls are a food that can contribute to increasing the food self-sufficiency rate because the rice and seaweed that make them up have high domestic production rates.

Information site for expanding rice consumption! "It's Gotta Be Rice"

The government is really doing various initiatives.
May this also be a tailwind for the Rice Ball Challenge!

So, this is how we were introduced.

There's even a photo of us all harvesting rice in Ugo Town, Akita Prefecture! It's posted!

And such passionate words as well!

"Rice has the power to connect people to people and regions to regions!"
That is exactly right!!

And what's more, the Rice Ball Challenge I've been continuing on this note is also introduced! I'm so happy!

The feature of this event is that you can choose your favorite ingredients to top your rice ball.

And it's not just white rice; there's brown rice too!

This rice was grown using a super eco-friendly farming method where planting, harvesting, and sun-drying were all done by hand, and pesticides were kept to an absolute minimum.
This brown rice is bound to be delicious.

Together with Shimanto River seaweed tsukudani!

Even though it's brown rice, it's cooked to be fluffy and not dry at all. Every time you chew, it feels like the delicious flavor of the brown rice seeps out.

It also goes perfectly with the sweet and salty simmered river seaweed tsukudani!

It's also rich in vitamins and minerals.

It's good for your body and can contribute to Japan's food issues.
Rice balls are wonderful!!

The rice ball challenge is really starting to get some tailwind.

Thank you for the meal!
