The story behind it
Founded in 1637 by Jiemon Okura in Fushimi, Gekkeikan is one of the world's oldest family-owned companies. The brand name translates to 'Laurel Wreath,' symbolizing victory and excellence, and it has long served as an official purveyor to the Japanese Imperial Household.
Brewed in Fushimi, Kyoto, Gekkeikan utilizes the legendary local spring water known as Fushimizu, which is renowned for its soft and pure quality. The brewery employs traditional multi-stage parallel fermentation to achieve a remarkably clean and balanced sake.
