Tokubetsu Junmai
Perfect balance!! This sake is chosen as a Champion Sake for IWC2017 (Internatinal Wine Challenge at London) among 1245 labels from 390 sake breweries!
This is one of Nanbu Bijin’s regular and signature sake, made with local Iwate Ginotome sake rice. This sake serves a refreshing aftertaste with the soft/light flavor and fine umami flavor.
We wish to make this sake as the best of best sake, which goes with any meal.
Recommended Food Paring
Vietnamese food/ Mackerel with miso paste/ Simmered vegetables
This Sake slices through oily dishes, pleasantly refreshing the pallet.
The ultimate Sake with a gentle, fruity scent and the umami of rice that best matches many dishes.
