Wheat
|
|
The planted acreage of wheat in Okhotsk is 23% of that in
Hokkaido and its yield is about 33%. It is grown all over
Okhotsk, but the places that have the largest planted acreage
are Kitami city, Ozora town, and Shari town (according to
the 2010 agricultural statistics by the Okhotsk General Promotion
Bureau).
The wheat planted in fall is substantial, however the wheat
planted in spring only amounts to 10%. In 2011, they changed
the wheat planted in fall to Kita Honami. The main variety
of wheat planted in spring is now Haru yo koi (Waiting for
spring).

(Kita Honami)
|
This is a semi?hard wheat?flour that became the leading wheat
of Hokkaido after Hokushin, which used to be the standard.
Kita Honami is as white and superfine as the wheat produced
in foreign countries. Therefore, it is good for noodles and
bread.
|
|
(Haru yo koi (Waiting for a spring))
|
This is the typical brand of Hokkaido bread and
is good for Chinese noodles, which is expected to be a variety
that takes over Haru Yutaka. It has a nice smell and a high
rate of water absorption. It produces large and soft bread. |

(Omugi (barleycorn))

Abashiri grows Nijo Omugi (also called Beer Wheat
because it is used for brewing) in Okhotsk. Abashiri has a long
history of growing barleycorn, which started in the early Showa
era. Now, they have a contract with Sapporo Beer and grow it
exclusively for them. About 65% of their contracts in Hokkaido
are produced in Abashiri. |
