    Southern Sorachi, a large-scale paddy-rice-producing area, formerly had no distinctive regional features, because rice paddies are found throughout Japan and, thus, cannot be a distinctive feature.

This was a result of collaborations among producers and of active producer-consumer interactions which fostered sustainable cultural relationships that go beyond mere trading in wine. The municipality of Mikasa is promoting the region by combining the wine-related regional resources with the heritages of nature and culture, including former coal mines.
