本日は多気町役場で毎年恒例の弓形穂（ゆみなりほ）会議。三重大学、四疋田営農組合、河部醸造、みよしや酒店、明野高校、多気町役場、三重県庁が集合し、前年の成績と当年の計画を議論。品種登録から18年。清酒の販路も拡大し、関係者も徐々に増加。温暖化と米価高騰はここにも暗い影。何とか乗り越えてつないでほしい。

Connecting to the Future

Today is the annual Yuminaribo Meeting at Taki Town Hall. Mie University, Shihikida Farming Cooperative, Kawabu Sake Brewery, Miyoshiya Liquor Store, Akeno High School, Taki Town Hall, and Mie Prefecture Office have gathered to discuss the previous year’s results and the current year’s plans. It has been 18 years since the variety was registered. The distribution channels for sake have expanded, and the number of stakeholders has gradually increased. Climate warming and soaring rice prices cast a dark shadow here as well. I hope they can somehow overcome these challenges and continue this tradition for the future.
