Sake 101

Sake is a traditional Japanese alcoholic beverage made from fermented rice. Unlike wine, sake is brewed more like beer, using a parallel fermentation process that converts starch to sugar and then to alcohol simultaneously.

The quality and flavor of sake depend on several factors: rice variety, polishing ratio, water quality, yeast strain, and brewing technique. Gekkeikan uses only the finest ingredients and time-honored methods to ensure excellence in every bottle.

Sake can be enjoyed chilled, at room temperature, or warmed, depending on the type and personal preference. It pairs beautifully with a wide range of cuisines, from sushi to steak.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Junmai and Daiginjo?

Junmai means "pure rice" — no added alcohol. Daiginjo refers to sake made from rice polished to at least 50% of its original size, resulting in a more refined, aromatic profile.

How should I store sake?

Unopened sake should be stored in a cool, dark place. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within a few days. Nama (unpasteurized) sake must always be refrigerated.

Can sake be aged?

Most sake is best consumed fresh. However, certain types like koshu (aged sake) develop complex flavors over time. Gekkeikan's Horin and Kanjuku Umeshu are excellent examples of aged expressions.

Is sake gluten-free?

Yes, authentic sake made from rice, water, koji, and yeast is naturally gluten-free. Gekkeikan sake contains no added gluten.
