There is a classification of rice “Shinmai”. Shinmai is harvested from October, and it is popular for Japanese to stop to use old one instead of new rice.

When Shinmai is on Market, the last years’ rice will call “Komai” and its value goes down for domestic use. However there is a industry where were waiting for Komai every year. It’s not farming industry.

It is famous Sushi industry. Using Komai is able to prepare better taste Sushi in stead of new rice. Almost a hundred percent of Sushi restaurant uses Komai or blended Komai and new rice.

There are usable ways for each of them.
