Discovered and cultivated in 1893 by Mr. Kameji Abe, a farmer in Yamagata Prefecture .
The roots of currently well-known varieties such as Koshihikari, Hitomebore, and Akita Tacomachi.
It was a famous sake rice, mainly in eastern Japan, for its good taste, and was called ``Zanji'', ``Omachi'' in the west, and ``Kamenoo'' in the east, but it disappeared as it was not suitable for modern farming methods because it was sensitive to chemical fertilizers and pesticides. .
