Gekkeikan brouwerij kent een historie die teruggaat tot 1637 wanneer Jiemon Okura een brouwerij begint in de Fushimi regio te Kyoto. De in eerste instantie kleine brouwerij, welke lokaal sake verkoopt, is met eigen innovatieve ontwikkelingen vanaf begin 1900 tot heden ten dage uitgegroeid tot een van de grootste brouwerijen wereldwijd.
Bekend in Europa zijn vooral de Amerikaanse Gekkeikan producten, dit terwijl men in Japan op grote schaal sake geproduceerd van hoge kwaliteits welke helaas minder bekend is buiten Japan. Gekkeikan ofwel lauwerenkrans maakt in Japan mooie toegankelijke sake waarbij Horin sake een van de oogappels is.
