- Bottling Date: VINTAGE 2020Nanbu Bijin’s All Koji is crafted using 100% rice‑koji — a bold, unconventional approach that yields a deeply rich, sweet, and umami‑forward sake with expressive acidity. Aroma: Sweet, rich, with notes of tropical fruits, honey, and a hint of koji‑derived nuttiness. Palate: Full-bodied and luscious, showcasing pronounced umami and creamy texture from the all‑koji brewing method. Balanced acidity adds freshness and prevents it from feeling too heavy. Finish: Long and slightly sweet, with lingering rice sweetness and subtle earthy undertones. Nanbu Bijin All Koji is versatile due to its richness and umami profile. Ideal pairings include: Japanese cuisine: Grilled or simmered fish (e.g., mackerel, salmon) Tempura or lightly fried vegetables Rich noodle soups (e.g., miso ramen) Fusion / creative pairings: Cheese (especially creamy or mild types like Brie) Fruit-based desserts or poached fruits Cocktails or soda mixes (its sweetness complements sparkling mixers) Serving suggestion: Best served chilled, on the rocks, or with soda to enhance its aromatic and umami qualities.
