[The Secret of Rice Terraces: It's Even More Delicious When You Know It!] Rice terraces are rice grown in terraced fields built on mountain slopes. Sado's rice terraces were created to sustain rice production in a mountainous region with little flat land. By making effective use of mountain spring water and rainwater and building terraced rice fields on mountain slopes, rice cultivation is possible even on limited land. Rice terraces are grown with clear mountain spring water and large temperature differences between day and night. The grains are firm and have a rich sweetness and fragrance. The cultivation method is labor-intensive and requires a lot of manual labor, but the charm is that it has a rich flavor and you can feel the blessings of nature.
