About

Both the koji and the kake rice use Yamada Nishiki grown in the Kamiitou district of Higashiizumo town. A pleasing sweetness and the distinctive acidity of Oroku come alive and burst on the palate. Kojiya is the shop name (yagō) of the Ishihara family. The name was chosen to express a commitment to the origins of the family's business as a merchant house, brewing sake with humility and simplicity.
