Product details
Nanbu Bijin Tokubetsu Junmai is crafted using “Gin-otome,” a unique sake rice local to Ninohe-city, Iwate Prefecture. The brewery has partnered closely with local farms, emphasizing the true essence of “made in Ninohe” by using the city’s rice and water. This collaboration between a small town of 28,000 people and its dedicated brewers culminated in an extraordinary achievement when their sake won the prestigious IWC Champion Sake award in 2017, proving that big dreams can come from even the smallest communities.
This Tokubetsu Junmai offers a rich yet refreshing profile with medium-intensity aromas, including notes of quality rice, subtle floral hints, and marshmallow. The sake has a velvety texture with a savory umami presence on the mid-palate, leading to a dry, medium-plus body that lingers pleasantly. Designed to complement any meal, this sake provides a fine balance of light flavors and umami, making it a versatile and enjoyable pairing for a wide range of dishes.
