Flavor profile Kun-shu
Kun-shu — aromatic and light
The very negative SMV of -90 to -70, 5% alcohol, and the description of sweet-sour flavor and a light, sweet aroma point to a mildly aromatic, light-bodied sake with pronounced sweetness.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
Sweet and tart in flavor. Fine bubbles glide smoothly across the palate, leaving a mellow finish. This is a light, sweet sparkling style with a rounded character and a gentle aroma, and it is lightly cloudy (usunigori). The name Suzune is an endearing one, chosen because the delicate bubbles that rise when the sake is poured into a glass seem to ring like the sound of little bells. The bubbles that softly burst on the tongue come from natural carbon dioxide produced by bottle fermentation (secondary fermentation in the bottle), the same method used for Champagne. Within the gentle flavor of rice, a soft tartness spreads across the palate. With a low alcohol content, it is well suited to those who do not usually drink much sake. Enjoy it for toasts, as a cocktail base, or as a dessert sake, for a different way to enjoy Japanese sake.
