Emishiki Sensation Black Junmai 720ml 笑四季

Product details

Emishiki Brewery, located in the mountainous area near Lake Biwa in Shiga Prefecture, has a rich history rooted in a region known for its Shigaraki ware and its role as a major rice production area. The brewery, led by Atsunori Takeshima, the fifth head of the family, embraces the traditional mellow sweetness of local sake, bringing it to the forefront of their production. Emishiki’s innovative approach is reflected in their “Sensation” series, which offers high-quality yet affordable sake that can be enjoyed year-round.

The Sensation Black sake boasts a fresh aroma of young grass, pandan, green apple, and strawberries. Its soft sweetness is perfectly balanced by rising acidity, creating a rounded yet firm mouthfeel with a crisp, mineral-enhanced finish. The bitterness from yeast-derived succinic acid adds complexity and makes it a versatile pairing option. Sensation Black pairs well with both traditional dishes like yakitori and grilled mackerel, as well as unconventional ethnic and European-style dishes such as mustard-dill salmon and fruit salad.
