"Mochibijin" is a new rice variety developed from a cross between "Niigata-Mochi31 (named "Wataboushi")" and "Chubu-Mochi 80" effected in 1991 at the ex-Kennan branch of Iwate-ken Agricultural Experiment Station. This variety was intended as a glutinous rice with middle maturity, slightly high lodging resistance, good eating quality and is well suited for Processing into rice cake. "Mochibijin" has been tested as a local line number "Iwanan-Mochi 19" since 1998. It was adopted as a recommended variety in Iwate Prefecture in February 2002, and shares the peak of the harvest season with the leading glutinous variety "Himenomochi". Several characteristics of this variety are described as follows: (1) It belongs to the middle maturity group, maturing slightly later than "Himenomochi" (2) The plants are panicle weight type rather than intermediate. Its culm is slightly shorter than "Himenomochi". Its panicle number is similar to "Himenomochi". (3) It has slightly high lodging resistance, stronger than that of "Himenomochi". (4) "Mochibijin" is easy to distinguish from "Himenomochi" with brown apiculi, and short brown awns which seldom appear. (5) It has a good eating quality, similar to "Himenomochi". Additionally, it is suitable for the industrial production of rice cake, similar to "Koganemochi".
