Mishima Omachi 83

Mishima Omachi, the historic Ibaraki-area sake rice revived in 1996 after disappearing in the early Showa era, is polished only to 83% for this minimal-refinement release from Nakao Shuzo in Osaka. Low polishing at 83% keeps the grain's outer layers intact, expressing the distinctive, earthy richness of this rare local variety.
