Gokenji(御慶事) is a sake brand crafted by Aoki Shuzo Co.,Ltd in Nigata, Japan. Explore their full lineup of 20 sakes on OneSip.

Aoki Shuzo was founded in 1717 in Shiozawa, Uonuma City, Niigata Prefecture, a district celebrated for producing some of Japan's finest sake rice and blessed with what is described as the best-quality well water in the entire Uonuma region. Now in its 12th generation under Takafumi Aoki, the brewery follows a philosophy of wago, the harmony between producers, sellers, and drinkers, as the source of fine sake. Gokenji is one of the brands produced at this 300-year-old snow-country kura, which brews exclusively in the cold winter months, letting natural temperatures guide fermentation.
