Not much was heard of Hakuho rice this year. Hakuho meanwhile on the 26th has helped with kids at another rice field, in Komatsu, Ishikawa - to harvest rice for the top member of the "gods of sake brewing" Nototouji 能登杜氏, Mr Noguchi 農口尚彦.

Hahoho was full of energy on day 2 of the Aki jungyo, maybe also thanks to the sake brand "Noguchi" he received in return: "Once you drank this sake, you can't drink other brands anymore" http://www.sanspo.com/sports/news/20191007/sum19100705020001-n1.html

Very cool! Any update on Hakuho rice?

First time (ex-)Hakuho harvested Hakuho rice, so far he helped planting it in Hokkaido, but now he has some grown in Niigata, the koshihikari prefecture. Today he was in Minami-Uonuma for the first harvest of the Hakuho 夢 yume (dream) rice - his favorite kanji. At a jungyo he ate the local koshihikari rice and said it was the best he ever tasted. In collaboration with the local producers he recommends it now as Hakuho "Yume" (so it's not his original Hakuho rice anymore - the Hakuho rice project in Hokkaido is referred to as "in the past" in the article). That day he also was at the city hall to donate the portrait of his Haru 2012 22nd yusho to the city. https://hochi.news/articles/20221009-OHT1T51154.html?page=1
