In 3 words: Fruity, clean & drinkable
Great value, award-winning sake, great for both sake newbies and experts. A subtle whiff of banana penny sweets on the beak makes you want to dive right in. Then it's beautiful soft and clean junmai with melon and pear flavours, a moderate acidity and umami taste that emerges as the bottle warms from chilled to room temperature. This is a must try.

Nanbu Bijin Umeshu (Plum) Sake
In 3 words: Plum, peachy, light
This all-koji sake infused with Ume plum is beautiful, light and naturally pink in color. Pronounced aroma of Ume plum and chestnuts with a kick of bitterness with clean cherry and plum flavors. A touch off-dry, this Umeshu is all natural and from added sugar or any artificial sweetener. Enjoy straight, on the rocks or experiment as a cocktail mixer.
