Yamadanishiki is arguably the world’s preeminent sake rice, with a well-earned reputation for quality. Yamadanishiki was developed in 1923, and since then it has taken a dominant slice of the sake rice market, coming to be known as the king of sake rice. While it is grown throughout Japan, the best crops come from Hyogo prefecture, specifically the area just north of the Rokko Mountains. The rice from these fields is highly prized, and some of the best sake in Japan is said to be made from it. Yamadanishiki has been called “the ginjo rice” due to the ease of drawing out beautiful aromas and flavors.
