Hokuryu Kenseikai, Mr. Kiyohiko Fujinobu (Hokko Construction)

The delicious new rice from Hokuryu-cho was harvested at the end of the month and milled and brought to us just in time for this occasion. This year, too, the rice has been wonderfully produced and has a very delicious taste.

We have over 500 kg of rice in the backyard for you to scoop up.

The 5-gou masu scoop for 400 yen holds about 8 cups of new rice, but we serve more than 8 cups.

Fortunately, the great people of the agricultural cooperative have not yet arrived, so we can keep getting them in.
I always get angry if I put too much in, but today it is still okay to put it in!
The staff is all young, so it's quick and easy! You can get in as fast as you want.

Please stop by and say "Thank you all for stopping by" and the shouts continue uninterruptedly!

The lovely Saki Himawari attracted me....

Scooping for new rice that continues incessantly

The new rice is so sweet and delicious! said one customer, tucking into a mini rice ball.

The very popular Hokuryu Town booth!

There were many family visitors, and a little girl was on a stepladder, wearing big vinyl gloves and saying, "Good job! Scooping the new rice! and she looked happy with a big smile on her face!

I was impressed by the staff's attitude of providing courteous and sincere hospitality to the newcomer scoopers, who continued to arrive one after another until the final hour, exerting all their energy until the very end!
