Rice harvested in the nuclear disaster-hit town of Hirono, Fukushima Prefecture, has been delivered to the Imperial Palace at the Emperor’s request, according to the Imperial Household Agency.
Rice harvests resumed in the town this autumn after a three-year hiatus due to the meltdowns at Tokyo Electric Power Co.’s Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant in March 2011.
The Emperor requested the Fukushima rice when Noriyuki Kazaoka, the agency’s chief, told him that the rice would be served at an eatery for agency staff from Wednesday, the agency said Wednesday.
“We want to have some, too, because the rice must have been grown with great effort,” the Emperor was quoted as saying.
