I know that Koshihikari and other eating rice varietals are grown in California (mostly "Okabo" or dry land rice as opposed to paddy rice) but as far as I know no sake rice (Saka-mai like Yamada-nishi)is grown there in commercial scale. I wonder what kind of California rice SakeOne use to make G-sake.Uncle Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00250935358875865771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904203800544900427.post-72580472263893268482013-11-11T13:08:42.468-05:002013-11-11T13:08:42.468-05:00I can answer a couple of your questions.

The Momokawa affiliation is because the brewery was started here by Momokawa Brewing of Japan and Frost International Group. They changed the names and some of the ownership since then but Momokawa still participates in sending over sake to sell.<br /><br />The yeast they use for the sake is from Japan.blukatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03682442878136967546noreply@blogger.com
