- A beautifully balanced Japanese sake from Kōchi Prefecture, crafted by Bijofu Brewery (Hamakawa Shoten). Brewed with premium sake rice polished to 60% and brewed in the soft waters of Kochi, this Tokubetsu Junmai offers a harmonious blend of rice umami, bright acidity, and a clean, crisp finish. Its elegant but approachable character makes it perfect for both everyday enjoyment and as a versatile table sake. Expect a smooth, medium-bodied profile with subtle fragrant notes of fruit and fresh rice, finishing with refreshing dryness that enhances food experiences without overpowering. A dependable choice for both seasoned sake lovers and newcomers alike. Taste Profile Aroma: Fresh and inviting with hints of citrus, melon, and lightly sweet rice character. Body: Medium-light — smooth and fluid on the palate. Palate: Juicy, clean, with gentle acidity and umami. Finish: Crisp and refreshing with a clean dryness. Overall Style: Balanced, bright, food-friendly Tokubetsu Junmai. Food Pairing Sushi & sashimi (especially light white fish, shellfish) — crisp acidity complements delicate flavors. Grilled fish (shio-yaki) — salt-seasoned fish enhances the sake’s clean finish. Tempura & light fried dishes — acidity cuts through oiliness. Yakitori (salt) — chicken thigh or negima pairs well with dry, savory notes. Vegetable dishes with vinegar or citrus — brightness in the sake complements acidity in food. Light Western fare (salad with vinaigrette, grilled mushrooms) — versatile for fusion cooking. Origin Kōchi Alcohol 15% Polishing 60% SMV ' 5 Size 720ml Tasting Profile 爽酒 So-shu Refreshing Sake
