The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 1637 by Jiemon Okura in Fushimi, Kyoto, Gekkeikan is one of the world's oldest family-owned companies. For nearly four centuries, the historic house has pioneered modern sake production while honoring traditional heritage, earning its position as a purveyor to the Japanese Imperial Household.

How it is made

Brewed in the historic Fushimi district of Kyoto, this sake benefits from the region's exceptionally soft, mineral-rich spring water known as Gokosui. Gekkeikan utilizes traditional brewing techniques refined over generations in this legendary brewing capital.
