The Story Behind The Bottle
Habits Bottle Shop
Gekkeikan Sake is a dry junmai sake from one of Japan's oldest and most respected sake breweries, founded in Fushimi, Kyoto in 1637. Junmai sake is brewed using only rice, water, koji, and yeast — no added brewing alcohol — which gives it a clean, rice-forward character.
This sake offers a light, dry profile with subtle rice and mineral notes on the nose, carrying through to a clean, crisp palate and a smooth, dry finish. Its versatility makes it an excellent match for a wide range of dishes — think sushi and sashimi, grilled fish, tempura, or even richer, umami-driven dishes like teriyaki or miso-glazed vegetables.
Serve it lightly chilled to highlight its clean, dry character, or warm slightly for a softer, rounder pour on cooler nights. As an approachable, food-friendly junmai, it's a great introduction to traditional Japanese sake for newcomers and a reliable go-to for sake enthusiasts. Order Gekkeikan Sake online at Habits Bottle Shop and pair it with your next Japanese meal at home.
