Snow delivery has been successfully completed for the "Yukimuro" (snow-cooled storage) facility attached to the Regional GX Innovation Co-Creation Center (GX Building) at Nagaoka University of Technology (NUT).

This project aims to scientifically prove and evaluate the value of the effects of the storage environment—by circulating the cold and humid air from the Yukimuro inside the facility to maintain a low-temperature, high-humidity environment, thereby analyzing changes in the flavor profile and components of stored rice.

By reinterpreting snow, a valuable regional resource, from the perspective of GX (Green Transformation), NUT will continue to pioneer new industrial possibilities.
