Wonderful friendly staff were very accommodating even when we showed up a day they were cleaning and doing some routine maintenance. We bought some experimental sake some other varieties sold at the brewery on site. Wonderful place to go when you're in the area!

Lived here since 2000 and finally made it into their tasting room. Outstanding! Excellent and highly recommended.

Very friendly staff and many Sake options you've probably never had or even heard of. Great prices for the tasting and buying bottles directly from them. Atmosphere of the tasting room could be more comfortable and special but it doesn't take away from why you're there. I hope their tours open back up soon.
Gekkeikan's state-of-the-art sake brewing facility in Folsom, California is the latest chapter in a continuing success story that began almost 400 years ago five-thousand miles away in Fushimi, Japan.
Gekkeikan established its Folsom sake brewery as part of its strategy to reach new markets. It is the company's first brewing facility in North America and is the sixth brewery to bear the Gekkeikan name.
Why was Folsom selected? Just as Fushimi was "discovered" centuries ago, Folsom was found to offer just the right conditions: high quality water and an abundance of rice - the perfect setting for a skilled brewmaster backed by over three and a half centuries of experience.
