Product details
Ozeki Yamada Nishiki Toku highlights the brand’s long-standing commitment to quality and consistency, guided by generations of experience and a deep respect for tradition. This special release is crafted using 100% Yamada Nishiki rice, widely regarded as the “king” of premium rice varieties, prized for its purity, depth, and elegant structure. Sourced predominantly from Hyogo Prefecture, this exceptional rice brings natural richness and balance to the final profile. The result is a refined yet approachable expression that emphasizes clarity, smooth texture, and a generous rice-forward character, making it a versatile choice for both everyday enjoyment and elevated dining.
The flavor profile is clean, rich, and softly layered, opening with full-bodied notes of steamed rice and gentle sweetness. As it develops, the palate remains smooth and mild, supported by a refreshing structure that keeps each sip lively and focused. The finish is dry and crisp, leaving a satisfying sense of balance without heaviness. This harmonious style pairs beautifully with savory dishes such as teriyaki chicken, miso-glazed salmon, or hearty comfort foods, enhancing flavors while maintaining an elegant, refreshing presence.
