A Place to Encounter the New Possibilities of Sake
ESHIKOTO is a brand established by Nizaemon Ishidaya, the owner of Kokuryu Sake Brewery, which has continued to produce Japanese sake in Fukui prefecture. The Ishidaya ESHIKOTO store was born in the grand nature of Fukui as a place to bring forth new possibilities of sake, which is evolving through inheriting tradition and innovation.
Here, time flows profoundly and deeply, resulting from Fukui's history, culture, and nature; come indulge in sake tasting and shopping exclusive to ESHIKOTO.
SAKE
AWA
A sparkling sake made with secondary fermentation. Enjoy the fine bubbles and complex taste of aging in a low-temperature environment for at least 15 months.
ESHIKOTO
Made with carefully selected Fukui-made brewer's rice, the ESHIKOTO series is brewed using a unique method that utilizes the traditional kimoto method.
AYU
A top-class daiginjo sake brewed using Kokuryu's expert techniques and new endeavors. Rieko Morita, a renowned Japanese woman nihonga artist, drew an ayu sweetfish in the Kuzuryu River for the bottle.
IWAI
A sparkling sake that adds a spark to celebratory occasions, available for a limited time only. Savor the bright taste and gorgeous bubbles made from secondary fermentation, perfect for toasting.
SUISEN
We have bottled the highest quality Junmai Daiginjo sake by combining the brewing techniques that Kuro-ryu Sake Brewery has developed for Junmai Daiginjo with new blending techniques.
UME
The characteristic of this special umeshu is its sweetness and fresh acidity, made from only the best "golden plums," shinheidayu, a plum variety born in Fukui prefecture which fully ripens on the tree and falls naturally during a short period when its aroma is at its zenith.
