As the quality of rice is not stabilized as it is to proceed to the next stage (according to the language of toji and other workers in the brewery "the rice is not settled."), it is put into bags and left in the warehouse for a while to cool down.
そのままでは次の工程へ進むには米の質が安定していない（杜氏や蔵人の言葉では「米がおちついていない」）ため、袋に入れて倉庫のなかでしばらく冷ますことになる。
