Nanbu Bijin “Tokubetsu Junmai” Reviews

4.7 Rating 52 Reviews
This sake is perfect for spring time. Refreshing and citrusy. Beautiful notes of mandarin orange and a slight sweet aftertaste. I enjoyed it with a plate of Brie cheese and dates, a really lovely combination. I liked it best as it warmed up, just slightly chilled.

One of my top picks from our subscription box. Super smooth with fruity notes. I loved this one paired with our weekly sushi takeout. Will definitely order it again!

It's really easy to understand why this Junmai is well liked. It has that fruity element and also has some sweetness throughout. This is a moderately priced sake that you can serve to vets and newbies alike and the kanpais will be enthusiastic.

This tasted amazing with chicken wings and on its own. We drank it warm and it was tasty.

A really enjoyable tokubetsu junmai! Tiniest gold tinge, like the world's subtlest canary diamond. Scent very clean. Medium mouth fill, with trace of ricey sweetness, followed by a clean finish. To me, there was a light hint of pear (maybe more than orange). I enjoyed Nanbu Bijin with gyu-don, but feel like it would be great with a wide variety of foods.

What a fantastic sake! This came in the most recent club sake box and was my favorite sake from all of the sake boxes this year. The orange citrus notes are so inviting and the taste is soft and refreshing. Can't wait to pick up a few full sized bottles when this is back in stock!

This was awesome with tonkatsu; the citrus notes paired perfectly with the touch on top of the pork. Great sake!
