Tasting Notes

Crafted by Koueigiku Shuzo (光栄菊酒造) in Saga Prefecture, Sunburst embodies the vibrant, youthful character that defines the brewery’s modern, expressive style. Brewed with Reiho rice and left muroka (unfiltered), nama (unpasteurized), and genshu (undiluted), this sake delivers a lively, radiant profile reminiscent of its name.

Bright citrus tones lead the aromatics, fresh lemon zest, grapefruit, and subtle white flowers, followed by a gentle, natural effervescence typical of Koueigiku’s ultra-fresh naming style. On the palate, the acidity is refreshing but not sharp, balancing juicy sweetness with a clean mineral finish. As it warms slightly in the glass, Sunburst reveals layers of soft fruit, tart vibrancy, and a breezy, summery energy that feels effortless yet distinctive.
