Known as the king of sake rice, Yamada-Nishiki is the most widely produced rice in Japan. It is a cross between Yamadaho and Tankanwataribune. Its large grain size makes it particularly suitable for koji molding, and many sake breweries use Yamada-Nishiki in their sake production. More than half of the nation’s production is grown in Hyogo, and Yamada-Nishiki grown in the “Special A district” is said to be of the highest quality.
