Winemaker Notes
A special Blend of two sakes, carefully selected by our brew master to give a unique style that is rich and complex. Hints of honeydew, papaya, anise, and roasted nuts, full-bodied with a long, smooth finish. Comes in a traditional "tokkuri" container which is similar to the ones used when purchasing sake in the old days.
Gekkeikan now brings the newest technologies to a brewing process that is nearly 2,000 years old and continues to strengthen its marketing position in the wake of growing demand for sake worldwide.
Gekkeikan established its Folsom sake brewery as part of its strategy to reach new markets. It is the company's first brewing facility in North America and is the sixth brewery to bear the Gekkeikan name.
Why was Folsom selected? Just as Fushimi was "discovered" centuries ago, Folsom was found to offer just the right conditions: high quality water and an abundance of rice- the perfect setting for a skilled brewmaster backed by over three and a half centuries of experience.
