Our Homemade Rice

From RISONARE Nasu's Fields to Your Table: Homemade Rice, Cultivated and Crafted into Exquisite Dishes.

The Passion for Growing Rice

As an agritourism resort, our aim is to provide guests with heartwarming resort experiences through "food" and "agriculture." With this in mind, we started growing rice in our on-site paddies in 2020. Here, embraced by rich nature, our hotel staff and staying guests collaborate with the generous assistance of local farmers to cultivate the rice with utmost care.

The Rice School Project

Having recognized the ongoing decrease in rice paddy area and per capita rice consumption in Japan, we established the "Rice School Project" in 2021. Our aim is to pass on a future where rice paddies exist to the next generation by communicating the stunning traditional scenery formed by these fields, the diverse wildlife they support, and the importance of the natural world.

Our Rice Farming History

Thanks to the collaboration of local farmers, we embarked on our rice-growing endeavor. In the beginning, the difficulty of cultivation led to a small harvest of just 600kg. However, through dedicated experimentation with methods like weeding and variety selection, our yields steadily improved, culminating in a harvest of 2130kg in 2024. With stable harvests now a reality, we are delighted to introduce our homemade rice at the restaurant.
