Shunnouten Description
The Sake: A light and crisp taste with strong, savory rice notes which blossom on the mouth. Finishes clean and dry. Karakuchi means “Dry,” a favorite style among sake drinkers.
The Brewery: Yorozuya Brewery has a long, beautiful and romantic history. Founded 230 years ago, the name of their brand, “Shunnouten” comes from a particular event in their past. A wandering poet stopped at the brewery for the night, and upon drinking the sake brewed there, he was inspired to compose a poem, and compared the feeling of drinking their sake to listening to a spring warbler high in the trees. Spring warbler, in Japanese, is Shunnouten. What a compliment! The poem is engraved in stone at the brewery- please visit it sometime yourself.
