The "Special Omachi Project" is an all-Okayama effort to once again tackle the "Special Omachi" rice variety, which was first produced in 2018. "Gozenshu Special Omachi 2.2" is a Junmai Daiginjo sake brewed with Omachi rice grown in designated fields. It represents the best of the best.
From the cultivation of Omachi rice to the harvest, sake brewing and fermentation process, the sake rice growers and sake brewers have made the "best choice" by utilizing all of their skills and experience. You can feel the dignity of this exquisite sake, which can be called the masterpiece of the year. However, it is by no means extravagant. We hope that through this sake, we can share with as many people as possible the warmth of the human touch, the muddy smell and the feel of the earth. Okayama's pride Omachi rice is the highest quality "Tokujo" standard rice on the market.
The rice is grown in the fields of Iwao Okamoto, a producer of the Seto Town Omachi Division (Shiona district, Seto Town, Okayama Prefecture). The 2.2 in "Special Omachi 2.2" refers to the size of the sieve used when drying and preparing the rice. The usual 2.1mm is specially sieved to 2.2mm, and only the large Omachi grains remaining on top are selected.
In the history of our brewery, which has used Omachi rice up until now, we have been able to make sake of unprecedented quality using Omachi rice. In order to bring out the best quality of Omachi rice, we use Gozenshu's unique bodai-hai brewing method, based on the idea that the brewing method should be as natural as possible.
“Gozenshu is brewed using the oldest sake rice, Omachi, and the oldest brewing method.” – Female Toji Maiko Tsuji
