On the other hand, the higher the rice-polishing ratio, the more difficult to use most of characteristics of the varieties of rice and the more minerals and vitamins, which promote fermentation, are lost, a highly sophisticated technique is required for subsequent stages.
その反面、精米歩合が高くなればなるほど米の品種の個性が生かしにくくなり、発酵を促すミネラル分やビタミン類も失われるので、後の工程での高度な技術が要求されることになる。
