About

A food-pairing Daiginjo with a notably restrained aroma. Rather than focusing on aroma alone, it pursues a smooth mouthfeel, fullness, and a clean finish, resulting in a well-balanced profile. It is an unpretentious sake, true to the character of Bijofu. This Daiginjo combines a refreshing aroma with a sense of coolness. Its features are a light aroma reminiscent of Delicious apples, an elegant sweetness, and a crisp finish. Served chilled, and as it warms slightly to around 10°C, the aroma and flavor expand further.
