This sake is fruity but has a slight sourness with a strong rice flavor running through it. It was freshly squeezed in February of this year, and since it has been aged until now, it has mellowed and concentrated its flavor.
The taste is clean and dry. As the name "Bijin" suggests, it gives the impression of a beautiful woman, but in my drunken imagination, I feel like a beautiful, clean-loving wife who is being told to clean up her act. I don't mind.
The sweetness, bitterness, and spiciness of the heavy rice hit you first, and then slowly faded away. It is a shocking sake. It goes well with the fat of the amberjack.
It is easy to drink with just the right amount of dryness, and has the impression of being a beauty in all directions that goes well with many things. Because it does not have too much individuality, it is a versatile sake that can be paired with anything from sashimi to simmered and fried foods.
The taste is refreshing, the aroma is fruity and you can feel the sweetness of the rice. It seems that the rice is grown without agricultural chemicals, and it is a sake that you will want to savor and drink with care and time.
