The effects of non-tillage direct sowing culture on the growth, yield, quality and palatability of rice cultivar 'Hinohikari' were investigated in 2013 and 2015. As compared with the transplanting culture condition (transplanted plots), the grain yield was reduced by 6% and 37%, respectively, under the non-tillage direct sowing condition (direct sown plots) in 2015 and 2013. In 2013, the number of ears was reduced by the suppression of seedling establishment which was affected by the shortage of rainfall before and after the seeding. No significant difference was observed between the direct sown and transplanted plots in appearance quality. Concerning the palatability, the peak viscosity and breakdown were greater, the taste was better, the stickiness was milder, and the overall palatability was higher in the direct sown plots than in the transplanted plots.
