Product details
Kubo Honke Junmai Daiginjo Suiryu Sleeping Dragon is a refined Japanese expression that brings traditional craftsmanship together with a highly polished rice profile. Created using the historic kimoto shubo starter method associated with the traditions of Nara, it offers subtle complexity while maintaining a crisp, light-bodied character. The Nama Chozo approach further defines its distinctive style, resulting in an elegant balance between depth and freshness. Suiryu, meaning “Sleeping Dragon,” reflects Kubo Honke’s thoughtful approach to preserving time-honored methods while presenting them with clarity and refinement.
The tasting profile combines delicate cantaloupe and red apple skin with a subtle touch of fresh yogurt, followed by the gentle sharpness of shishito pepper. Full yet light on the palate, it balances layered flavor with a crisp and composed finish. A refined complement to simmered pork belly, duck confit, peach cheese cream crepes, or vanilla ice cream.
