Isenishiki - The Mother of Yamadanishiki

Early 19c old brewer’s rice makes the clear and refreshing taste

Isenisiki was born in Mid prefecture in 1860. Because it makes very aromatic Sake, Isenisiki became the popular brewer’s rice immediately, however; it’s gone in 1950.

Large ear of rice, very tall, and weak

These three characteristics are the reason farmers stopped growing this rice in 1950. This rice makes very different Sake, but it’s challenging to grow. Then, it started to be called “fantom brewer’s rice”.

A visionary brewery started a project to reborn the rice 30 years ago. They took three years to reborn this rice and succeeded.
