muikabochi 208 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I was thinking of not posting this this year, but then realised it's one of the pre-season traditions and I really should. So, the rice is on the lifts at Ishiuchi Maruyama and I went to take a few pics. Humans not allowed. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I was wondering where this was!! It's certainly a sign to signal that snow season is fast approaching....hurrah!! Link to post Share on other sites
@tokyo 14 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Good to see it. Another thing ticked off! Link to post Share on other sites

1 4 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Did we answer the question - how does the rice taste? Link to post Share on other sites
yoroshiku onegai shimasu 2 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Next up.... colours. Then.... snow! Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Yes, it had to be done. Always fun seeing the rice on the lifts like that on a fine day. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 They should branch out and put other vegetables on there at different times of the year. Negi and carrots would look good on the lifts. They could be sold at the bottom when they come down. Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Damn,,, these years seem to fly by don't they?? Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 They sure do. It's kind of scary isn't it. Link to post Share on other sites
jacko 3 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 damn. looks like a chair lift turned into a tiki hut. All they need is a bar on each chair with tiki glasses full of some sort of pineapple and rum combo and you'd be set to go - have a slide, drink. Repeat all day. Could be a winner.

Chriselle 158 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Just don't try to limbo under the safety bar.... Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 They sure do. It's kind of scary isn't it. Life is truly cruel isn't it..? The less you have left... the faster it goes. I'm going to slap that "God" guy when I see him for that one.. Link to post Share on other sites
onehunga 26 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 The speed of time is all in the math. For my kids, one year is one sixth of their life. That surely is going to go a lot slower than one year for me, which is one fiftieth of my life. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I think the year goes the same speed for us all onehunga. Perhaps pie-eater could investigate. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I will investigate. Link to post Share on other sites

LukeLomond 0 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Very interesting images! Is this common? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 LukeLomond, hi Not common, in fact I don't know anywhere else that does it. Though they may exist. Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 So how does one actually purchase some of this rice? And perhaps more importantly, does anyone make sake out of it? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 It's very difficult to get hold of Metabo Oyaji. There's not that much of it and with it's fame and all.... Don't know about the sake, though (just a guess) I doubt it. Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I want to try it! Link to post Share on other sites
Hokkaidough 4 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Make it into rice pudding like my grandmother used to make. Very sweet. Evaporated milk. Link to post Share on other sites
Space Indaver 1 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I just find it weird to see the lifts existing over land that isn't covered in snow. Link to post Share on other sites
Nurse Lunt 0 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Excellent! How long does the rice stay on the lifts? Link to post Share on other sites
