A new rice variety, "Kinnnomegumi", was developed in 2011 by a cooperative breeding program between Tohoku Agricultural Research Center and TOYO RICE Co., Ltd. "Kinnomegumi" belongs to the moderate maturity group in the Tohoku region. Its plant type is classified according to panicle weight. The culm length is similar to that of "Hitomebore", and the lodging tolerance is "strong". "Kinnomegumi" is estimated to have true resistance genes to blast, Pia and Pii. The leaf and panicle field resistance to blast are classified as "strong". "Kinnomegumi" also has a true resistance gene to bacterial blight, Xa1, and its field resistance to bacterial blight is "strong". Its cool-weather tolerance during the reproductive stage is "high". The grain yield of "Kinnomegumi" is almost the same as that of "Hitomebore". The grain appearance is slightly lower than that of "Hitomebore", and the eating quality is superior to and similar to that of "Hitomebore". The ratio of grains with scutellum after rice polishing of "Kinnomegumi" is higher than that of "Hitomebore". "Kinnomegumi" is available as an ingredient of "Kinmemai", the milled rice product with scutellum and high nutritional value. "Kinnomegumi" is considered to be adaptable to the Tohoku region and semi-mountainous area of the warm regions of Japan.
