Goriki

Goriki (強力) is a local rice from Tottori prefecture. It was once extinct because of the difficulty of it's farming. However some breweries (Hiokizakura is one of them) revived this great rice in the 1980's.

Goriki has a unique character, and the sake made with Goriki is best as Kan-zake (warm/hot sake).
