Product details
Seikyo Omachi Junmai Ginjo is crafted from Omachi rice, a heritage grain discovered in 1859 and revered as the oldest of its kind in Japan. Unique among rice varieties, Omachi remains non-crossbred, with over 70% of modern premium rice strains tracing their lineage back to it. Though notoriously challenging to cultivate—growing more than 5.4 feet tall and highly susceptible to insects—it rewards the effort with impressively large grains and a soft, generous core.
The result is a profile that greets the senses with bright, green nuances and a touch of freshness. On the palate, it reveals a lively expression of fresh lime, carried by a crisp and clean finish that lingers gracefully. Its vibrancy makes it a versatile partner at the table, particularly when paired with Southeast Asian cuisine, such as Thai or Vietnamese dishes, as well as ceviche or lightly vinegared salads. Balanced, refreshing, and layered, Seikyo Omachi Junmai Ginjo showcases the elegance and precision of one of Japan’s most treasured rice varieties.
