Wakka Japan
Wakka Japan Co., Ltd. is a Japanese rice specialty store with rice mills in Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Honolulu, and other locations. In order to convey the appeal of Japanese sake to the world, we teamed up with Niigata's Kukijo Sake Brewery to develop the highest quality sake.
``I want to deliver truly delicious rice to overseas countries.'' With that in mind, I opened a Japanese rice specialty store in Hong Kong. Since then, they have opened rice mills in Singapore, Taiwan, Honolulu, and other countries under the brand name ``Genbei Tawaraya III'' and ``The Rice Factory,'' spreading the appeal of Made in Japan to the world. The highest quality rice produced by producers in Hokkaido and Nagano prefectures is carefully transported as brown rice, and then polished at our own rice mill to match the conditions of the day. The store has a rice sommelier on staff who can teach you about rice, how to cook it, and recipes, making it a favorite among Japanese food fans overseas.
As they began handling processed foods in addition to Japanese rice, the top-of-the-line Japanese sake ``XO'' was born. The brewer is Kukijo Sake Brewery in Kakizaki, Niigata Prefecture. We use ``Etsudanrei'' sake rice grown in terraced rice fields with Yoneyama in the background, and use 100% ``Odechi Sensui'' that gushes from Yoneyama for both rice cultivation and sake brewing. Aiming to be recognized around the world like wine, we have achieved an elegant taste that is easy to accept by everyone. The rich terroir, which can be called Japan's original landscape, impresses the world.
