"Benizomemochi" is a new glutinous rice cultivar with red grains. It was developed at the National Agricultural Research Center for the Kyushu Okinawa Region and registered as Norin 395 by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) in 2003. This cultivar was selected from the progenies of the cross between the glutinous rice, Saikaimochi 197 (Himikomochi), and the red grain rice, Hakeiaka 124 (Beniroman). The characteristics of Benizomemochi are as follows. The maturity is about three days earlier than that of Himikomochi and is classified as moderate in the Kyushu region. Compared to the red grain rice, Tsukushiakamochi, the culm is shorter and the lodging resistance is higher. It has a true blast-resistant gene, Pita-2, and its field resistance to leaf blast and panicle blast is somewhat high. It belongs to the Kinmaze group, and its resistance to bacterial leaf blight is slightly weak. Although the grain yield is 10 to 20% less than Himikomochi, it is almost the same as Tsukushiakamochi under normal fertilizer conditions and higher under rich nitrogen fertilizer conditions. The grains look bright red. As for the eating quality (okowa), Benizomemochi is a beautiful color, and it has more taste than Himikomochi. The Proanthocyanidin, content (an antioxidant) is less than Beniroman and almost the same as Tsukushiakamochi. Judging from maturity, Benizomemochi can be grown in the plains of the Kyushu. Chugoku and Shikoku regions.
