It says that such "cold-building", but winter is Japan Sake in a season that is charged
Saito Inada main store also finally entered the busy season.

This year there were damage caused by heavy rain all over the country
It happened in Tottori prefecture, the rice waiting for harvest was killed by rain
The farmers seemed to have had more difficult harvesting work than usual.

The contract farmer of Inada head office also suffered damage.
This is the image you got from Shinshi Toshi who went to see the state.


Usually you can harvest by moving the machine straight
When the rice plants collapse, unless it fits in the collapsed direction, it can not be reaped by the machine
Move forward a little and harvest · retreat, change direction ... and
It's time and labor, and it took tens of times more than usual.



As well carefully, to handle the baby Sake but is Nobuki master brewer that has been building

　Sparrows on the electric wire running near the rice paddle, staggered ~ ~ ~ at last, I aimed!
　Setting up Kakashi did not work at all and it was done quite a bit! "



"Because it's a big deal, I also tried harvesting with a sickle
　Yamamoto-kun (right picture) that should have physical strength, I was also surprised by the difficulty beyond imagination.
