Gekkeikan Josen is a standard sake.
Food critic and cooking instructor, Mr. Yukio Hattori, who passed away on October 4, mentioned Gekkeikan Josen as one of his three sake selections on his radio program before his death.
He said that Gekkeikan Josen is a sake that goes well with all kinds of food without being overbearing and is very reasonably priced.
It is certainly an easy price to buy.
This time, I bought a trial 300 ml bottle.
There is nothing special about this sake. That may be why it is a sake that goes well with any kind of food.
874 yen per square meter at a supermarket half-price property. It is better when heated. This one is better than the Kuromatsu Shiraga Junmai I had the other day because I can feel the flavor (it's hard to describe). I drink it with the aroma from the hinoki cypress 3 shaku Masu.
874 (2L) including tax
The well-known Daiginjo of Gekkeikan was available in a packaged sake.
It is fruity but dry.
It has a bitter aftertaste.
It seems to be good as a food sake.
I tried drinking it hot later on when it was too cold, but it was not so good, with a strange habit that stood out. ......
Going back to the basics, cold sake at a heated room temperature. I was relieved to find this wonderfully safe sake. It is always a familiar and ordinary sake. The kabayaki was well complemented.
I quickly left "The Common Man" and went to "Torii" nearby, which is famous for its oyako-don (chicken and egg bowl).
I came here to eat oyakodon a long time ago, but I didn't drink alcohol then, so this time I dared to have a lunchtime drink 🍶.
We drank with the famous oyakodon and yakitori ✨.
Gekkeikan Daiginjo.
Fruity and gorgeous aroma, mellow sweetness, and a pleasantly sweet aftertaste with a mild finish.
I've been avoiding this sake because it's made by a major sake brewer, but I think I'll try it again!
Oyakodon is delicious, with the rich flavor of the dark-colored raw egg and the robust broth.
This is the best oyako donburi in Kyoto ✨.
A bowl of oyako-don is 800 yen, which is too reasonable considering the recent inbound prices, don't you think?
［Leaving Tori I, we went for a walk to Kyoto Gosho (Kyoto Imperial Palace) to refresh our stomachs.
Enjoy the special autumn viewing 🍁.
Hi Gyve 😃.
Lovely lunchtime drinking 👍.
And the oyakodon looks so delicious ‼️ How conscientious of you for ¥800😄!
The autumn leaves in Kyoto🍁 are also nice.
Please enjoy the luxury that is only available now. ❣️
Hi, HinaHanaMama!
I'm so relieved to find a restaurant that's so friendly to the pocketbook, when most restaurants in Kyoto are so overpriced these days 😁.
［I was able to enjoy the autumn foliage at the Kyoto Imperial Palace without crowds of people.
Gekkeikan
Gekkeikan Daiginjo Namazume
This brewery is located in Fushimi Ward, Kyoto.
The rice is polished to 50% Kyoto rice.
Gekkeikan's original yeast is used.
Fruity aroma, mild
Mellow rice flavor and a clean finish.

I bought it because Mr. Hattori of Hattori Culinary School recommended Gekkeikan Kamisen on Youtube,
I ended up drinking a lot of different kinds, but I thought it was delicious and good enough for me.
It is light, sweet, and goes down easy.
I would buy it again,
4/5 stars
The basic Gekkeikan
Mild aroma, slightly sweet and light with a delicious flavor...a little sourness in the second half keeps the cup going.
This is the only Gekkeikan in the same price range from a major sake brewer that does not contain any added acidifiers or sugars.
It is a sake that complements food and can be enjoyed at temperatures ranging from cold to hot.
Personally, I feel the balance of mildness and freshness is best at room temperature.
This quality is amazing! ^ ^
It's a definite room temperature sake 👍.
Famima Limited Sake
You can drink it like a juice.
but you can still taste the rice flavor.
Because it is sold at convenience stores
It is a bottle that can be drunk casually.
This is a souvenir from my wife's trip to Kyoto.
My wife, who does not drink sake, selected this bottle...or rather, she talked with a Gekkeikan staff member who was in the store and bought it for her.
We have two bottles of Gekkeikan, so we will get the other one separately...
This is the first time for me to drink Gekkeikan sake seriously.
It is delicious, as I expected from one of the three major sake breweries.
I feel like my range has broadened.
The mellowness and depth of flavor are well apparent in this sake.
It is delicious!
Good evening Tarou 😃.
It's nice to know that you got a gift of sake that you wouldn't normally buy for yourself 😊Maybe it's your wife's choice since she doesn't normally drink 🤗.
It looks like a solid bottle of deliciousness! It will expand your world 😚.

Sorry I didn't notice your comment.
It is true, if I had gone to Kyoto myself, I would have bought a different line of sake, so it was a good experience.
I guess it's a matter of trying things out and not making preconceived notions. Thanks to my wife!
