Details
In a location just south of Kyoto, well-known for its abundant and high-quality water, Gekkeikan's founder, Jiemon Okura established his sake brewery in the town of Fushimi in 1637. Okura and his successors have continued to thrive due to the ideal location and quality ingredients available. In 1905, Gekkeikan meaning, “crown of laurel” was adopted to symbolize the company’s formal pledge to excellence. A leader in the Sake industry, Gekkeikan has pioneered research and development, resulting in them becoming one of the nations most beloved brands. Gekkeikan Black & Gold is a unique blend of their Traditional and Haiku sake. The Gekkeikan master blender selects only the best from each fermentation and combines the finest qualities of each sake type. The result is a beautifully balanced and versatile spirit. This full-bodied sake offers notes of papaya, honeydew, toasted nuts and anise and a long and smooth finish. Black and Gold is wonderful for sipping or alongside an array of dishes.
