In English Sake is sometimes called Rice Wine but the brewing process is more like beer production, converting starch to sugar during fermentation. In Japanese, the word Sake (Sah-keh) generally refers to any alcoholic drink, while the beverage we refer to as Sake in English, meaning Rice Wine is actually called Nihonshu.

Made in Kyoto Japan by appointment to the Imperial household this is a fine sake with rich, regal heritage.
With over 14 generations of sake brewing experience, Gekkeikan Sake is a clean and herbaceous sake with slight hints of bittersweet grapefruit on the palate. Enjoyed warm, chilled or at room temperature.
Style: Herbaceous with hints of grapefruit and a light earthiness. Good acidity, mineral driven, well-balanced with a clean, medium finish.
Pairing Notes: Delicious with tempura, full flavored fish and shellfish, fresh green vegetable dishes, and coconut-based Asian dishes. A flavorful base for stocks and marinades.
Serving Suggestions: This versatile sake can be enjoyed warm, at room temperature or chilled. Excellent for sake cocktails and infusions.
