Nanbubijin All Koji 15% 2020 500ml

Nanbu Bijin’s All Koji is crafted using 100% rice‑koji — a bold, unconventional approach that yields a deeply rich, sweet, and umami‑forward sake with expressive acidity.

• Aroma: Sweet, rich, with notes of tropical fruits, honey, and a hint of koji‑derived nuttiness.

• Palate: Full-bodied and luscious, showcasing pronounced umami and creamy texture from the all‑koji brewing method. Balanced acidity adds freshness and prevents it from feeling too heavy.

• Finish: Long and slightly sweet, with lingering rice sweetness and subtle earthy undertones.

Nanbu Bijin All Koji is versatile due to its richness and umami profile. Ideal pairings include:

• Japanese cuisine:

  • Grilled or simmered fish (e.g., mackerel, salmon)

  • Tempura or lightly fried vegetables

  • Rich noodle soups (e.g., miso ramen)

• Fusion / creative pairings:

  • Cheese (especially creamy or mild types like Brie)

  • Fruit-based desserts or poached fruits

  • Cocktails or soda mixes (its sweetness complements sparkling mixers)

• Serving suggestion: Best served chilled, on the rocks, or with soda to enhance its aromatic and umami qualities.
