Founded in 1865 in Yabuki, Fukushima, Okidaikichi Honten has built Gakki Masamune into a brand recognized for its juicy, lower-alcohol style that stands apart from the clean and light sake that has become the regional standard. The name references musical instruments, lending a sense of lyrical playfulness to the brand's identity. Its characteristic fresh, fruity aromas and approachable acidity have earned it international distribution.
