rating in taste rankings.<\/p>\n<p>The key to improving the quality of Hokkaido rice is to stabilize the quality of the rice by sorting it before shipping.<\/p>\n<p>As a way to ensure consistent quality, we have introduced color sorting machines and grain sorting machines, which has enabled us to establish a system for selecting and shipping high-quality rice.<\/p>\n<p>However, up until then, farmers had been shipping produce with a certain degree of quality margin, and so concerns arose that setting strict quality standards would reduce shipping volumes.<\/p>\n<p>In the face of such concerns, farmers as a whole decided to improve the quality of their rice and to work towards shipping only rice that meets a certain quality standard.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to these accumulated efforts, we are now able to provide safe and secure Hokkaido rice that is highly uniform in grain size and low in protein.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the high quality of Hokkaido rice is highly rated by consumers,&quot; said Iwata.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>*A color sorter is a machine that distinguishes between the colors of rice grains and automatically separates high-quality rice from defective rice. It is mainly used in the rice polishing process and can remove foreign matter such as discolored grains, cracked grains, and immature green grains.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>JA Kitasorachi Managing Director Hirotaka Okubo (former JA Kitasorachi Hokuryu Branch Chief)<\/h3>\n<p>Even after being promoted to Managing Director of the head office, Managing Director Hirotaka Okubo continues to visit the Hokuryu Town New Rice Festival and the Hokuryu Town Melon and Watermelon Festival every year to offer encouragement.<\/p>\n<p>Every year, they give &quot;Minorich Hokuryu Sasamochi&quot; as a gift to the staff of the JA Kitasorachi Hokuryu branch.
