• Made from 100% top grade Omachi, one of the only heirloom varietals of sake rice.

• Omachi is a particularly delicate rice varietal with low yields. This is the absolute top grade (Tokujo) of Omachi rice from the 2018 harvest. Just 0.1% of all Omachi is classified as Tokujo, resulting in just 28-pyo (30kg sacks of rice).

• Omachi brings dark and herbal shadings to the usually light and pretty styles of sake like Daiginjo.

• Jikon is particularly well known for their delicate and precise workings with koji.
