Gekkeikan Kyoto Ginjo

A cute old-fashioned ginjo in a retro bottle with a small cup as a cap. Gekkeikan became known as “the sake from the train station” around 1900 and spread with the expansion of the railroad network. The patented glass bottle was developed in 1910 and sold on the train between Kyoto and Tokyo. Excellent aroma with a smooth taste - goes well with meat and cheese.

The Producer

月桂冠 Gekkeikan

The brewery was founded in 1637 in Fushimi, an area in Kyoto famous for its high quality underground water. The name "Gekkeikan" means laurel wreath, a symbol of victory and glory. In 1909, the brewery opened the Sake Brewing Research Institute, the first one established by a sake brewer. They adopted new technologies such as bottled sake without preservatives and all-season sake brewing.

Classification of Premium Sake

For high quality sake, rice is polished prior to processing with the goal of eliminating the bran and protein which encase the starch held at the center of the rice grain. The smaller the rice polishing ratio (expressed as a percentage of the original rice weight), the finer and more aromatic the sake. Learn more about the different classes of of Premium Sake...
