Product details
Founded in 1871 in the historic seaside town of Takehara, the Nakao family has guided Seikyo for six generations, earning recognition for its deep exploration of yeast and fermentation. The spring seasonal Omachi release celebrates Japan’s oldest heirloom rice, first discovered over 150 years ago and still the only non-crossbred variety in existence. Known for its rich texture and gentle softness, Omachi lends depth while preserving balance and clarity. Each year, enthusiasts eagerly await this spring release, which captures both tradition and seasonality in a way that reflects Seikyo’s “True Mirror” philosophy of harmony and purity.
This seasonal expression greets with a bold, brash aroma carrying notes of fresh yeast, before opening into herbal and grassy nuances across the palate. Beneath its vivid character lies a delicate, crisp structure that finishes mild and refreshing, making it both vibrant and approachable. Best enjoyed chilled, it pairs beautifully with lighter fare such as fresh salads, sushi, or simply grilled white meats, where its brightness complements subtle flavors while allowing its own layered personality to shine.
