Ozeki procures its Yamada-Nishiki rice from Hyogo Prefecture which is the largest sake producing region in Japan and the largest Yamada-Nishiki rice growing region. The “Yamada-Nishiki” rice is carefully polished using Ozeki’s traditional techniques honed over hundreds of years which preserve the mellow flavor and mild aroma of the rice.
