◼︎ History of Omachi rice and Akaban Yu
From Toshimori Sake Brewery HP
Omachi rice was grown in 1851 by Jinzo Kishimoto, a farmer in Omachi, Takashima-mura in present-day Okayama City, who found it on his way back from a visit to Daisen in present-day Tottori Prefecture and brought it back home.
At one time, the cultivation area was reduced to 6 ha (about the size of Tokyo Dome), and it was called "maboroshi no mai.
Around 1965, Tadayoshi Toshimori, the fourth generation of the Toshimori Sake Brewery, revived Omachi rice, and a daiginjo sake brewed with Omachi rice was named Akaban Omachi, and sales began.
