The 8th of every month is "Rice Day"
The kanji character for "rice" can be broken down to make "eight," "ten," and "eight," and it is said that it takes 88 steps to produce rice, so there is a connection between the number "eight" and rice.
In Japan, the number "8" has been said to be an auspicious number since ancient times, as it has a prosperous shape and is celebrated as a sign of longevity, and the 88th birthday is also called "Beiju" after the character for rice.

At Bijin Nuka Store, we are committed to producing rice that is grown without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides, and we use our original Stork Rice Bran Extract, obtained from rice grown using farming methods that nurture storks (a farming method that simultaneously nurtures safe rice and other living creatures, making it a habitat for storks, a special natural monument and endangered species), as a moisturizing ingredient in many of our products, including the Bijin Nuka Junmai Series and Kobe Bijin Nuka Series.
What is Stork-Grown Rice?
The following process is carried out to produce safe, delicious rice that also nurtures living things.
- No pesticide use or 75% less
- No use of chemical fertilizers
- Hot water disinfection (disinfecting rice seeds with hot water)
- Postponement of mid-drying (leaving water in the rice paddies until tadpoles turn into frogs and nymphs turn into dragonflies)
- Early/winter flooding (flooding rice fields one month before planting or during the winter)
- Deep water management (deep watering of rice fields to suppress weeds and increase the living environment for living things)
Please take this opportunity to enjoy shopping at our store.
