A nearby store had a large display of "Chiebijin" for New Year's, so I purchased a Junmai-shu and a Junmai-ginjo-shu. The sake was sweet, but not too sweet, with just the right amount of salt to make it easy to drink. It was so good that we later purchased several more bottles. The kanji character "Chiebijin" is said to be limited to Oita Prefecture. The photo shows an empty bottle.

This is the first Kanji version I've had. It has a clear, light, melon-like sweetness that one would not expect from a 70% polished sake, and it disappears quickly. The clear, clean taste is similar to that of Hiragana Chiebijin, but it does not have a flashy sweetness and has a subdued taste, giving the impression that it is more of a food sake.
