Clear and colorless with a slight muffled appearance. Fruity aroma with hints of apple, pineapple, rose, and acacia. The aroma is strong. The mouthfeel is sweet and smooth. The nose has honey-like overtones. Moderate acidity. Slight astringency. The mouthfeel is impressive with a strong sweetness. Long aftertaste. It is a fragrant and mellow sake.

Impression Balanced medium dry
The aroma is subdued, but not fresh, with a slight bottom note like steamed rice or melon.
The taste is balanced, with all elements averaging out. The balance between sweetness and acidity is good, making it easy to drink. You can also taste the flavor of koji (malted rice).
It goes well with basically anything, but among the dishes I had, it was good with negitoro (tuna with green onion).
Repeat Score 2.0
The top aroma is of junmai with a hint of sourness. When you drink it, it is smooth on the tongue, sweet and spicy, and quickly sharp. The hint of fragrance is fruity. It is transparent and delicious. The aluminum can is still fresh. It is good both by itself and during a meal.
It went well with katsudon (pork cutlet served on top of a bowl of rice) and karaage (fried chicken).
Similar to something before dawn?

This time, we would like to introduce "Nanbu Bijin Breezy" 🍶.
These days, summer days are coming in frequently. As the temperature rises, so does the weather! Summer sake!
I hate summer, but I welcome summer sake! This is the first such bottle of the year! This is my first time drinking Nanbu Bijin's seasonal sake! Itadakas!
The aroma is a refreshing summer breeze 🌴☀️
The weak acidity in the mouth makes the whole sake light and easy to drink!
The overall flavor profile of this sake is light, yet deep and full-flavored. It is light, yet deep in flavor...a very well made sake!
It has a summery, easy-drinking summer sake character, but the main flavor is umami, which makes it quite interesting!
Summer sake is often drunk like a juice, but this sake is so mild that it makes you want to drink it slowly. It's great to drink while lounging around during the Bon Festival or something 👍.
Purchased after sake brewery tour
I heard it was made by Mr. Yuzo, the director (?) of the brewery, who loves heated sake. I heard that Mr. Yuzo made it.
