Elementary school students thresh and mill rice harvested on the roof paddy field of Totsuka Ward Office!

　A fifth grader from Tozuka Elementary School (4 classes, 142 students) is making rice on the rooftop paddy field (34 meters above ground, about 50 square meters) on the 8th floor of the Totsuka Ward Office with the cooperation of farmers in JA Yokohama and Maiokacho. This time, as a culmination, we will challenge threshing, rice milling, and rice polishing of rice that has been naturally dried for one month. Experience the process of becoming white rice one by one. Rice making on the rooftop paddy field begins with the relocation of the ward office in 2013, and is the eleventh this year. Through one year of rice production, elementary school studenｔ will deepen their understanding of agriculture and interest in local production for local consumption.
