Ikenishiki

"Ikenishiki" is the crowning brand of Ikejima Shuzo and a sake that has captivated many local fans as the "Beautiful Sake of Nasu." Its name combines the character "Ike" (pond), symbolizing the brewery, with "Nishiki" (brocade), the finest woven fabric, reflecting the brewers' passion for pursuing a beautiful and brilliant flavor.
Pure groundwater from the Nasu mountains is used for brewing. By adhering to traditional hand-brewing methods and maximizing the potential of local Tochigi sake rice, it achieves a fine and elegant mouthfeel. A calm aroma, mellow umami, and a sharp finish harmonize in an exquisite balance.
Cherished for many years in Ohtawara City, this brand continues to evolve as the "New Ikenishiki" following a recent business succession, inheriting tradition while incorporating fresh sensibilities. It is a brand that truly speaks of the Tochigi climate, a crystallization of historical techniques and regional pride.
