Gekkeikan means "Crown of Laurel," a testament to the company's commitment to excellence.
The House of Gekkeikan's portfolio is extensive and comprised of an array of 14 top quality sakes and plum wines that appeal to sake novices and sake aficionados alike.

Gekkeikan Japan is located in the prestigious Fushimi region within the Kyoto Prefecture.
