GEKKEIKAN SAKE +14 750ML

Gekkeikan Sake 750 mL

• Tasting / Profile
  • A traditional junmai-style sake from Gekkeikan brewed in California (USA), bottled at approximately 14.6% ABV.
  • Aromas of herbaceous green tea and grapefruit, with a light earthy note; palate is mineral-driven, well-balanced with clean medium finish.
  • Made from rice, rice koji and water without artificial additives — true to sake brewing tradition.

• Menu Versatility
  • Serve chilled (45-50 °F) for maximum brightness, or slightly warmed (100-110 °F) to bring out umami and depth.
  • Ideal as an entry sake by the glass, or as a table pour in paired menus; it complements sashimi, lightly grilled seafood, and vegetable-forward dishes.
  • Can be used in creative cocktails where sake replaces vodka or gin for a lighter, smoother base (e.g., sake spritz, sake-margarita riff).

• Operational Efficiency
  • Standard 750 mL size fits existing wine/spirits shelving and inventory systems — no special conversion required.
  • At ~14.6% ABV, it pours similar to wine rather than spirits — familiar training required for staff.
  • Brand recognition: Gekkeikan is a heritage name in sake — staff can leverage this story for guest engagement.
  • Versatile temperature service and strong turn potential make it suitable for day and night service occasions.

• Profit Potential
  • As a reliable and approachable sake offering, it broadens your beverage program beyond wine/beer/spirits and holds margin potential for by-the-glass upsells.
  • Promote as “Japanese-style junmai sake” to attract guests seeking authenticity and differentiation from standard wine/beer lists.
  • Use as the featured sake in a sake flight or pairing promotion — e.g., “House sake + appetizer” to increase check average.
