Nanbu Bijin Honjozo Namachozo

南部美人本醸造生貯蔵酒

A local favorite served chilled, pasteurized once before shipping. Like namazake (unpasteurized sake), its koji-making has been refined to keep nama-hine (an off-aroma that can develop in unpasteurized sake) in check.

SMV +5, acidity 1.3, and 60% polishing point to a restrained, dry-leaning honjozo with modest aroma. The description's clean, refreshing character with some added body suggests a light, crisp profile that sits in the soh quadrant.

Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.

About
