Tasting Notes

Radiant and bursting with life, Sunburst opens with bright citrus aromatics, leading with fresh lemon zest, juicy grapefruit, and subtle hints of white flowers. On the palate, a gentle, natural effervescence highlights a refreshing, clean acidity that perfectly balances its juicy sweetness. As it warms slightly in the glass, it reveals layers of soft fruit and a breezy, summery energy. Best enjoyed well-chilled, it pairs beautifully with dishes that echo its brightness, such as fresh seafood, citrus-accented appetizers, and lightly grilled vegetables.

Overview

Crafted by the innovative Koueigiku Shuzo in Saga Prefecture, Sunburst perfectly embodies the vibrant, youthful character of this celebrated "revival" brewery. Brewed using local Reiho rice, this release is thoughtfully bottled as a Muroka Nama Genshu, meaning it is entirely unfiltered, unpasteurized, and undiluted. This meticulous, minimal-intervention approach preserves the sake's original strength, vivid clarity, and lively micro-carbonation straight from the tank. True to the brewery’s core philosophy of creating "sake that makes people smile," Sunburst delivers an ultra-fresh, contemporary drinking experience.

(Note: As an unpasteurized Nama sake, this product must be kept refrigerated upon arrival.)
