For over 390 years, Gekkeikan Sake Company has been producing the finest sake in Fushimi, a region just south of Kyoto, the ancient cultural capital of Japan. Today, Kyoto is famous as a popular tourist destination thanks to its many temples and shrines, and the lasting legacy of its status as the capital city of Japan for over 1,200 years. It still retains many traditions that have been passed down the generations for centuries, but it is also a place of great learning and technological advancement.

Much like its home, Gekkeikan also has a long history, stretching back to when the first Okura Jiemon founded his brewery in 1637. It also reflects the innovative and entrepreneurial spirit of Kyoto, as Gekkeikan’s General Research Institute has been leading innovations and pioneering breakthroughs in the sake brewing industry for over 100 years. Our unparalleled experience and brewing techniques have cemented our position as one of the world’s leading sake companies.

Today, 14 generations of the Okura Family later, Gekkeikan is proud to remain a family-run business, and we use the same pristine water of Fushimi that we’ve been using for nearly four centuries. We have an extensive range of sake products suited to a wide variety of situations and applications, all made with a strict dedication to our creed of “Quality First”.
