Premium Tokubetsu Junmai
July 8, 2022

Traditional California Original

Gekkeikan Traditional is a classic junmai style sake. This is the real, authentic taste of Gekkeikan USA, inherited from Gekkeikan in Japan, and made with American water, American ingredients, and by both Japanese and American employees. Northern California original sake.

Style

Sweet banana and juicy apricot and nectarine are prominent and fresh. Patience reveals roasted chestnuts and fresh mushrooms.

The palate is very light and smooth, delivering umami and acid across the tongue for a refreshing mouthful.

Dry, short finish. Refreshing.

Serve chilled or at room temperature to enjoy the fruit flavors; serve warm to enhance the acid, umami and body. Should pair particularly well with roasted meats, mature cheese and mushrooms.
