Luscious and sweet

Made using Yamadanishiki grown in Shiga prefecture, this “kijoshu” is made with sake replacing some of the water used for fermentation.

Emishiki Brewing Company

Emishiki Brewing Company was founded in 1892 in Shiga prefecture, a landlocked prefecture famous for Japan’s largest lake, Lake Biwako, and a vast natural landscape of mountains and streams. “Emi” means to smile, and “shiki” refers to the four seasons. Emishiki, named by the second- generation president, expresses how delicious sake brings a smile to your face, and happiness throughout the seasons. The fifth-generation president is the current brewmaster, and draws inspiration from the changing seasons and nature. They vow to avoid any unnecessary processes in their sake making, and work to bring out the magic of yeast.
