Tohoku Regional Agricultural Administration Office launched review meetings called “Japanese Sake Terroir Project in Tohoku”. They aimed to encourage production of sake brewing rice as well as sales and export of sake made from rice grown in Tohoku, a famous region for rice production and sake brewing. Rice farmers, sake breweries, and producer’s groups from some prefectures in the Tohoku region participated in the meetings to share information on the development of new strains of rice, distribution channels, and cooperation between rice producers and sake brewing manufacturers. The formation of the terroir is expected through deepening of the cooperation and expansion of high quality products.
