About
The everyday expression from Wakatsuru Shuzo, makers of the acclaimed Saburomaru single malts. Sun Shine is their approachable blended whisky, widely available across Japan and a staple in Toyama prefecture. A solid entry point for exploring the Wakatsuru range.
Tasting Notes
Light malt sweetness, hints of caramel and vanilla with a touch of grain.
Gentle and approachable. Honey, light cereal notes, a touch of oak. Smooth and easy drinking with a mild sweetness throughout.
Short and clean with lingering grain sweetness and a whisper of oak.
What People Are Saying
Popular as an affordable daily drinker in the Hokuriku region. Reviewers note it is light and easy, best served as a highball rather than neat.
A staple budget whisky in Japan, often found for under 1000 yen. Not going to blow you away, but perfectly fine for highballs. The real gems from Wakatsuru are the Saburomaru single malts.

How to Enjoy
Great in a highball with soda water, the way most Japanese enjoy it. Also works well on the rocks or in whisky cocktails.
