The Rendezvous Series, launched in 2025, explores the possibilities in new flavours development. Replacing part of the brewing water with Koueigiku Gekkou “Moonlight” sake, the Gekkou Rendezvous undergoes the longer kimoto brewing process using naturally occurring yeasts – a sake brewed using sake - a perfect example of Koueigiku’s creative approach to sake brewing.
Subtle floral notes complement delicate aromas of Ramune, white peach and muscat grape. The palate is soft and rounded, with a gentle sweetness and a slightly unctuous thickness, before being cut by the refreshing acidity from the natural lactic acid in the brewing process. An underlying umami adds depth and structure, while the finish remains fresh. Gekkou Rendezvous brings together aromatic appeal and savoury depth to accompany a variety of dishes, such as grilled prawns, teriyaki chicken, and roast pork with sauce.
