The label design on Hakuginkaku ("the White Silver Pavilion") is the Ōehogyo-zu ("fishing on a great river") painting by Tomioka Tessai (1837-1924) in the Jishō-ji temple, also known as Ginkaku-ji (the temple with the silver pavilion). Kinkaku sanzen ("the Golden Pavilion Shining") is made for Rokuon-ji temple, famous for its golden pavilion. It is a luxurious clear sake containing pure gold leaf flakes. Matsui Shuzō (Matsui Sake Brewery) has a shop on the first floor of a condominium which is surrounded by the Higashiyama mountains and Kamo River, with the Imperial Palace and Shimogamo Shrine to the west and a view to Mt. Daimonji to the east.
