- Fun to know -

What is "Kaga Hyakumangoku"? Have you ever heard of Ishikawa Prefecture as "Hyakumangoku"? "Koku" refers to the measure unpolished brown rice, and "1 koku" is equivalent to about 150 kg (about 180L). In other words, Hyakumangoku is 150 kg x 1 million = 150 million kg! During the Edo period, there were more than 250 feudal domains, but only six families owned more than 500,000 "koku". The Kaga domain was the only one with over 1 million "koku". It precisely expresses the richness and cultural depth of Ishikawa Prefecture♪
