About Goriki Rice

Goriki is an essential and deeply cherished rice variety for Fukura Brewery. In 1891, Mr. Shinpei Watanabe of Saihaku District (present-day Daisen Town), Tottori Prefecture, selected it from 21 indigenous varieties. Later, the Tottori Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station began pure-line selection in 1915, officially establishing two strains—Goriki No. 1 and Goriki No. 2—in 1921.
Characterized by its large grains and linear shinpaku (white core) similar to Yamada Nishiki and Omachi, Goriki produces sake with rich umami that deepens with aging. However, because it is a late-maturing, tall variety prone to lodging (falling over) with low yields, its cultivation ceased in 1954. Driven by strong demand from local Tottori breweries, a small amount of original seed stock preserved at Tottori University's Faculty of Agriculture was rediscovered in 1986, leading to Goriki's dramatic revival as a sake rice in 1989. Unlike most modern sake rice varieties developed through complex crossbreeding, Goriki—much like Omachi—is a rare heritage variety that has survived to this day without crossbreeding.
