Description

Nanbu Bijin Tokubetsu Junmai is a premium sake from the Nanbu region in Japan, known for its well-crafted, full-bodied flavor profile. This special junmai (pure rice sake) is made using high-quality rice and water, following traditional methods that ensure a smooth, rich taste.

The “Tokubetsu” designation refers to its exceptional quality, as it is brewed using a select variety of rice with a slightly more polished grain compared to regular junmai sake. This process imparts a well-balanced sweetness, subtle umami, and a clean, crisp finish. It is brewed without the addition of any distilled alcohol, which allows the natural flavors of the rice to shine through.

The sake has a light, clear appearance with a delicate fragrance of rice, faintly floral notes, and a hint of fruitiness. On the palate, it delivers a smooth texture with a complex blend of flavors that include a gentle sweetness and a mild, savory undertone. It pairs excellently with a wide range of dishes, from sushi and sashimi to grilled meats or even lightly seasoned appetizers.

Nanbu Bijin Tokubetsu Junmai is typically enjoyed chilled or at room temperature, offering an ideal balance of tradition and refined taste for those who appreciate high-quality sake.
