■ About Tagosaku

Tagosaku uses 100% 'sticky rice,' which is expected to have fatigue-recovery and antioxidant effects.

These dishes have been widely loved in daily life while honoring tradition and the four seasons.
Tagosaku also offers the 'Okowa at Home' series, allowing for easy preparation of 100% sticky rice in a rice cooker. It requires no washing or soaking, and can be prepared in as little as 20 minutes. Two types are available: the classic 'Tamba Dainagon Azuki Sekihan' and the elegant 'Yuzu Scented Grilled Sea Bream Okowa.'
