Crimson ears of rice swaying in the wind! InabeCity 's ancient rice "Daian Sakura Rice" is in full bloom
掲載日：2023.09.12
In InabeCity City, an ancient rice called "Daian Sakura Rice", which is characterized by deep red rice ears, is produced.
During this period, from the time the rice ears emerge in September until they are harvested, you can see the rare rice fields dyed bright red!
The sight of the entire area being dyed a deep red is sure to make a great photo!
The rice in this rice field was planted with the participation of local elementary school students, and in October, the rice will be harvested with the help of local elementary school students.
As long as you don't go into the rice fields, you are free to tour and take photos, so be sure to take a look at the spectacular views you can only see now.
Ears of rice wrapped in red
Ears of rice have protrusions called ``noge'' that enclose the seeds, and in the case of Daian Sakura rice, these awns are dyed red.
Because the rice ears are so densely packed together, it looks like the entire rice field where ancient rice is grown is dyed red!
Ancient rice that shines in the setting sun “Daian Sakura Rice”
If you want to see the ancient rice “Daian Sakuramai” that shines deep red, we recommend visiting in the evening!
My daughter and I were able to feel autumn as the deep red rice ears sparkled in the setting sun and swayed in the wind.
Ancient rice soaked in the rain
At the time of the photo shoot, the atmospheric conditions were unstable and there was sudden rain.
The atmosphere is a bit calmer, but the ears of rice soaked in the rain are also lovely.

Like rice ears, brown rice is characterized by its red color, and is rich in nutrients such as polyphenols and minerals.
