A new waxy wheat cultivar, 'Uraramochi', bred by the doubled-haploid method at the National Institute of Crop Science, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan, was selected from a cross between 'Bandowase' and 'Tanikei H1881' carried out in 1994. 'Uraramochi' is an awned, brown-glumed soft wheat cultivar with red seed. Compared to 'Norin 61', the leading cultivar in central and southwestern Japan, 'Uraramochi' is usually 15 cm shorter, and conventionally heads and matures 1 day earlier, although the yield is the same for both. 'Uraramochi' is resistant to sprouting, wheat yellow mosaic virus and leaf rust. Milling characteristics are lower than those of 'Norin 61' but better than those of 'Akebonomochi'. The amylose content in flour is very low. The maximum viscosity temperature in amylography is lower and the maximum viscosity and breakdown are higher than conventional wheat flour. 'Uraramochi' is used in flour blends for noodles and bread and for making specialized local products. Based on yield trials at several prefecture experimental stations, 'Uraramochi' is adapted to flat areas of Kanto and Tokai, in Japan. The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan has registered it as 'Waxy Wheat Norin 163'.
