About Tagosaku

Founded in 1966, Tagosaku specializes in okowa, a traditional Japanese rice dish. They primarily operate through commercial facilities across Japan, bringing beautifully colored seasonal okowa to modern tastes. The foundation of their offerings is 100% high-quality domestic glutinous rice, which is steamed with fresh ingredients sourced from both land and sea. This dedication to quality provides a unique eating experience where each dish respects tradition while appealing to everyday tastes.

In addition to their in-store offerings, Tagosaku also has a home-cooking line known as “At Home Okowa.” This line allows you to easily prepare 100% glutinous rice okowa in just around 20 minutes, with no need for washing or soaking the rice beforehand. Among the two available flavors are the classic Danba Dainagon Red Bean Red Rice and the elegantly flavored Yuzu-Scented Grilled Sea Bream Okowa.
