Miyagi Sasanishiki JAS

Pure, Japan Organic Sasanishiki Grown by Farmin in Tome, Miyagi

“Miyagi JAS Sasanishiki” refers to organically certified Sasanishiki produced by Farmin Co., Ltd. (ファーミン株式会社), an Japan organic farm based in Tome City, Miyagi Prefecture. In a time when Sasanishiki has become increasingly rare due to its sensitivity to climate and disease, Farmin continues to cultivate this traditional variety through organic JAS–certified, chemical-free farming.

This rice represents one of the most strictly natural and transparent expressions of Sasanishiki available today.

How Farmin Grows Sasanishiki

🌱 Organic JAS & Natural Cultivation
Farmin’s Sasanishiki is grown with:

• No pesticides

• No chemical fertilizers

• No organic fertilizers

• No livestock manure

Some fields are cultivated using natural, unfertilized methods, relying entirely on soil biology and natural nutrient cycles.

🦠 EM-Based Farming (Effective Microorganisms)
The farm incorporates EM agriculture, using beneficial microorganisms to:

• Support soil microbial diversity

• Improve nutrient availability naturally

• Strengthen plant resilience without chemicals

This approach helps sustain Sasanishiki—a variety known for being difficult to grow—under organic conditions.

Drying & Post-Harvest Handling

To preserve the rice’s natural vitality, Farmin avoids high-temperature mechanical drying.

Taste & Texture Profile

True to Sasanishiki’s heritage, Farmin’s rice offers:

• Very low stickiness

• Clean, crisp mouthfeel

• Subtle, refined sweetness

• Excellent grain separation

• Light, neutral aroma

This is rice that supports dishes rather than dominating them.

Ideal Uses

Organic Sasanishiki from Farmin is especially suited for:

• Sushi and vinegared rice

• Traditional washoku

• Kaiseki cuisine

• Meals emphasizing balance and clarity

It is not intended for those seeking rich sweetness or mochi-like texture.

Why This Sasanishiki Matters

Sasanishiki is inherently:

• Sensitive to climate variation

• Vulnerable to disease

• Lower-yielding than modern varieties

Farmin’s continued cultivation demonstrates a commitment to preserving culinary heritage through organic agriculture, not convenience.
