Gekkeikan JUNMAI The Superior Japanese Sake is an outstanding premium sake from the long-established Gekkeikan brewery, which has been producing the finest sake using time-honoured methods since 1637. The name Gekkeikan means ‘laurel wreath’ – a symbol of victory – and underlines the high standing of this sake in Japanese culture. As a purveyor to the Japanese Imperial Household, Gekkeikan stands for the highest quality and artisanal perfection.

This junmai sake, made from select rice, pure water and koji, contains absolutely no added alcohol and captivates with its natural purity and complex array of flavours. It offers a harmonious balance of delicate sweetness, subtle acidity and rich umami. Thanks to its alcohol content of 14.5% vol., it reveals its elegance whether served slightly chilled, at room temperature or gently warmed.
