EMISHIKI Cold Front 2023-24 (720ml)

This innovative Kijoshu marks a clear departure from Takeshima-san's iconic “Monsoon.” With a completely renewed brewing method and composition, it’s crafted at a slightly lower alcohol level for a lighter, more graceful finish. After extensive trials, it is now released with confidence. From the first sip, a rich sweetness unfolds, followed by a gentle aroma reminiscent of ripe bananas. The result is a smooth, easy-drinking sake that pairs beautifully with summer sunshine. Through aging, layers of sweetness and acidity gain complexity, making this a versatile bottle to enjoy year-round. 

EMISHIKI Cold Front 2024-25 (720ml)

This new Kijoshu stands apart from Takeshima-san's signature “Monsoon.” With a completely renewed brewing method and composition, it’s crafted at a slightly lower alcohol level for a lighter, more refreshing profile. After extensive trials, it is now released with confidence and pride. Among the most vibrant expressions to date, it features a lively acidity and crystal-clear sweetness that weave together into a brisk, invigorating taste. Beneath its lightness lies a refined depth of umami—marking the arrival of a bold new style in the world of Kijoshu.

Cold Front is where Emishiki rewrites its own playbook: Lighter, more graceful, but still unmistakably rooted in that signature Emishiki warmth!

Test: emishiki-shuzo

Emishiki Shuzo笑四季酒造株式会社

Emishiki roughly translates as the “Laughter of the Four Seasons” & the lively camaraderie among Owner/Toji ,Takeshima-san & the brewery personnel is vividly captured in the 笑四 range of sakes. With just 3 full-time employees, the focus of Emishiki is on re-discovering the romance of Sake Brewing, adopting only the ancient Kimoto method alongside the laborious Funa-Shibori (non-mechanical) pressing method. All rice used across the Emishiki range of sakes are cultivated in Shiga Prefecture, also highly renowned its beautifully marbled & highly prized Omi Wagyu. Using a range of yeast strains, which include kyokai (association), hana kobo isolated from flowers & proprietary strains isolated by the Toji, an eclectic range of aromas & flavour profiles present themselves, albeit playfully in this modern line-up.
