Juku-shu — aromatic and full-bodied, including aged sake

About
Omachi, often called the 'legendary' sake rice, was born in Okayama Prefecture during the Edo period and is a historic sake rice (sakagura tekigo mai). It pairs widely with food, and is especially enjoyable with ingredients that have astringency or bitterness, such as wild mountain vegetables (sansai), bamboo shoots, and nanohana (rapeseed blossoms).
