Tawara Gaeshi is a rear sacrifice throw where the attacker wraps both arms around the opponent's waist like carrying a rice bale, then falls backward and rolls the opponent over using the gripping momentum. [1] The name comes from the resemblance to lifting and throwing a tawara (straw rice bale). [1] It requires close body contact and strong gripping to execute effectively. [1]

Kodokan judo lineage: Jigoro Kano (1860–1938) systematized this technique as part of the Kodokan judo curriculum. Transmitted through the Kodokan instructor system to judo federations worldwide. Adopted into BJJ through Mitsuyo Maeda → Carlos Gracie → the Gracie family lineage. [1]
Recognized Kodokan judo technique but rarely seen in modern IJF competition due to rule changes favoring forward-throwing techniques. Occasionally appears in kata demonstrations and regional tournaments. [1]

Tawara gaeshi (rice bale reversal) is a rear sacrifice throw used to counter an opponent who is driving forward — the attacker falls backward and throws the opponent over like tossing a rice bale. Named after the large bales of rice that were a common item in Japanese daily life. (Kano, Kodokan Judo)
Tawara Gaeshi is a very good counter to double leg tackles and double leg rotary carrying techniques. According to Judo4MMA, it's particularly useful if your opponent is executing a successful double leg attack.
Welcome Mat Steve Scott recommends rolling more over your shoulder and back in a backward shoulder roll rather than falling flat on your back, as this reduces the chances of being scored against and makes the technique more effective.
You want to have good control of your feet with knees out in a wedge position, stepping in as much as you can before going straight down. Both legs should be hooked into your opponent's inner thighs to assist with the lift and throw.
Yes, according to Judo4MMA, Tawara Gaeshi can be done aggressively so that you end up with a nice choke at the end of it, rather than just defensively countering an incoming attack.

Основные ошибки, на которые стоит обратить внимание: Loose grip — opponent escapes during the fall / Falling without pulling opponent close — they post and don't roll / Not committing to the backward fall — half-attempts stall / Landing flat on your back without the roll — you end up on bottom with no advantage.
