This paper clarifies the reason that distribution of sake-brewing rice through networks outside of sake brewers associations is increasing. For this purpose, the cases of such direct contract between farmer and sake brewery in Akita were investigated. Such direct deals have the benefit of being able to provide increased rice sales with higher prices for farmers, and the sake brewery gain the advantage of being able to purchase high quality rice. Under such direct contracts, sake breweries try to maintain the quality of sake rice by overseeing the cultivation process. For farmers, it became clear that direct contracts have an additional merit in that they do not have to bear the risk of yield fluctuation.
