Tottori’s Original Sake Rice “Goriki”

“Goriki” is a sake rice unique to Tottori. It has large grains and, like Yamada Nishiki and Omachi, features a rare linear shinpaku (starchy core) that makes it well-suited for brewing ginjo sake.

This highly versatile rice expresses different characteristics depending on polishing ratio, yeast, and other brewing conditions.

We invite you to compare and enjoy “Goriki” sake from various breweries.
