Our craftman, Koyanagi Farm, is located in the village of Yanagisawa, Nakano-shi, Nagano Prefecture. The city of Nakano is crossed by the Chikuma and Yomase rivers. It is an area composed of fluvial terraces and alluvial cones. Rice grown on these lands is particularly famous. The role of climate is important: temperature ranges are large and precipitation is low. These factors infl uence rice excellence. Rice cultivation in this region is very old. It dates back to the Yayoi period (300 BC-250 BC). It is one of the spearheads of the local agricultural sector.
