On the 5th, Nippon-Ham received a gift of “victory rice” from Kitahiroshima City.
Manager Tsuyoshi Shinjo attended the presentation ceremony. Upon receiving one 60kg bag of “Yumepirika” rice from Kitahiroshima, the manager expressed his gratitude, saying, “Thank you very much. I’ll eat as much as I can.”
Kitahiroshima City, where ES CON FIELD is located, is the birthplace of cold-region rice cultivation. Akagemai, a variety of rice that was successfully harvested in the early Meiji period, is the ancestor of Hokkaido-made brand rice such as Yumepirika. As it is considered to be auspicious rice, it was presented as rice to pray for victory.
