Yamada Nishiki

"Yamada Nishiki" perfectly satisfies the characteristics required for sake rice, and is called "the king of sake rice". It produces a mellow taste with a firm rice flavor and a gorgeous aroma.

Gohyakumangoku

Along with Yamadanishiki, Gohyakumangoku is loved by many sake breweries and is said to be the sake rice that produced Niigata's light and dry taste. The slightly hard rice does not melt too much, resulting in a clean, clear sake with a mild taste.

Homare Fuji

Homare Fuji is Shizuoka Prefecture's first original brewer's rice that has been cultivated for 7 years with the passion of "I want to make sake with Shizuoka rice". It is characterized by its mellowness that allows you to feel the umami of rice, its sharp aftertaste, and its rich aroma.

Miyama Nishiki

"Miyama Nishiki" developed in Nagano Prefecture is a popular sake rice that boasts the third largest production volume in Japan after Yamada Nishiki and Gohyakumangoku. It produces a gentle and delicate aroma and a clean and firm taste, making it a light and refreshing sake that you will never get tired of drinking.
