EXPO2025 GEKKEIKAN WORLD SAKE Vietnam × Thailand [Gekkeikan, Kyoto
Slightly sweet with a slightly sour mouthfeel. Sense of apple cider vinegar. A lingering bitter taste.
Ingredients: Rice (from Vietnam), Rice Koji (from Thailand)
Alcohol content: 13° to 14
Sweet aroma with some citrus flavor. Tastes citrusy as well. As the label says, sweet and juicy. There is an astringent aftertaste. No residual sweetness, so it is easy to drink. Delicious.
This is the sake I received. It is a junmai-daiginjo with a nice, smooth taste of rice! It is a delicious sake with a delicious rice flavor and smooth taste!
60%, 15-16 degrees.
A refreshing aroma with a hint of acidity on the other side of the round sweetness of rice.
Refreshing mouthfeel with acidity. The flavor of rice lingers on the tongue.
The aftertaste is a little bitter at the back of the throat.
It goes well with meals.
Finally made it to Japan! We are visiting Kyoto first and wanted to make sure we toured at Gekkeikan Ōkura Sake Museum. The tour was brief but very pleasant with a great video on sake production. We tried almost every sake available and they were all very good!
We had to get a bottle of the “retro” style Ginjo. I heard the older style was different and I was very excited to try it. It is sweet in a good way that isn’t overpowering and I wanted to capture the experience by purchasing a bottle.
Literally, it is a sweet sake with a fruit-like feel. Nevertheless, the aftertaste does not linger, and the sharpness of the sake is a quintessential Japanese sake. It is a brand I would definitely like to try again.

◉Horin Junmai Ginjo
As expected from a major top quality brand. The taste is clean and crisp. The aroma is not that strong.
◉Horin Junmai Daiginjo
Aroma is sweet and full-bodied, and the taste is full-bodied and delicious.
◉Katsuki Junmai
A sweet, low-alcohol 12% sake with a fruity peach aroma despite being made with rice. It has a fruity peach aroma in spite of its rice content.
◉Kazuki Namazume
This rice has a very ripe melon-like aroma and is sweet and juicy. It is sweet and juicy.
It's amazing what a major manufacturer can do. I'm sure they've brushed up on their previous Kaduki, but it's interesting that they specialize in aromas.
How about Argo? I told him that it was not enough for me, and that the company's efforts were excellent.
Hi Nemuchi!
I've been curious because I've been seeing a lot of "katsuki" drunk lately, it seems like it would be a good one to try for those who are not used to sake 🤔.
Hi Nemuchi 🐦.
I see that they changed the label on the fruit moon label 😳I still have the old one at my local supermarket 😆I would like to try both... I hope they come out with a smaller one 🤭.
It has no peculiarities, good or bad, so besides room temperature cold sake and warmed sake, it is actually best as a sour with an equal amount of soda water and a little fruit juice. It can also be used as a cooking sake. It can be left at room temperature, so there is no problem to have a bottle in the kitchen. It is also inexpensive at around 1,000 yen. However, convenience stores and one-packs may not go well together, and some stores do not carry it even though it is a PB product.
