Nanbu Bijin “Daiginjo” was given a gold medal in the “sake for wine glasses” category. So what’s the secret? The brewers use a special grade of Ginotome rice that is only found in Ninohe city, Iwate Prefecture. Then they polish it down by a whole 50%. What’s left is brewed with heart and soul so that you can enjoy a sake with perfectly matched umami and sweetness. One whiff will bring a grin to your face, and one taste will bring a smile to your heart. For the full effect serve this sake cold in a thin wine glass, then sip like a champion.
