“Shikishima” is produced in Kamezaki-cho, Handa City, Aichi Prefecture. Kamezaki, which is also a port town, is located by the sea, and the brewery that produces Shikishima, Ito Corporation, is situated very close to the sea.
The abundant well water used in the brewing process is rich in minerals, which positively impacts the growth of yeast, giving Shikishima its unique sharpness. It has a rich, robust flavor, yet with a clean and sharp finish.
We strive to create sake that makes you think “dera umai” (meaning “very delicious” in Nagoya dialect) every time you drink it, even if it is every day.
Elevating the Value of “Mealtime” with Shikishima’s Unique Flavor
The concept behind the deliciousness of “Shikishima” is commonly referred to as “food Sake.” This sake not only complements and refreshes the palate during meals but also enhances the flavors by combining with the food, creating a harmonious taste experience that makes you reach for the next sip and the next bite.
To achieve this, we ensure that the rice is thoroughly dissolved during the brewing process, providing enough body to support the food flavors. The Sake is then rounded off with high-quality acidity and a mineral feel derived from the excellent brewing water. Mealtime is a vibrant moment in the midst of our busy daily lives. If Shikishima can be by our customers’ side during these moments, there is nothing more gratifying.
