“Yamada-nishiki”
Yamada-nishiki is lustrous “white-core rice” with large grain size that contains less protein and provides superb water absorbing property and digestibility. It provides excellent features of producing rice-koji with outstanding “haze-komi” (rice-koji proliferation) (degree of proliferation of fungal thread at the center of rice grain).
It is said that Sake produced by the use of Yamada-nishiki, the best-quality Sake-making rice (rice suited for Sake-making), achieves deep aroma and velvety smoothness, that is, so-called full-bodied Sake. |
