Product details
Dewazakura is celebrated for its dedication to preserving traditional rice varieties and elevating them through meticulous craftsmanship. This release showcases the revered Omachi grain, one of Japan’s oldest and most distinctive varieties, treasured since the 19th century for its depth and natural complexity. Despite its challenging cultivation, Omachi rewards careful handling with a richly expressive character that reflects both heritage and precision. The result is a polished, full-bodied creation that highlights Dewazakura’s commitment to honoring regional ingredients while delivering exceptional clarity and balance.
The aroma reveals layers of honey, soft florals, steamed rice, and bright lemon peel, creating an inviting and multidimensional profile. On the palate, it is deep, rounded, and vibrant, unfolding with notes of clover, sweet rice, and a gentle touch of sweet tea. Its generous texture and lively finish make it highly versatile at the table—equally comfortable alongside delicate dishes like sashimi or mushroom risotto, yet resilient enough to complement richer fare such as fried chicken or tonkatsu.
