NANBU BIJIN SHINPAKU JUNMAI DAIGINJO 南部美人心白山田錦 純米大吟釀 720ml
Brewed by Nanbu Bijin Shuzo (南部美人酒造) in Iwate Prefecture, Nanbu Bijin Shinpaku Junmai Daiginjo (南部美人 心白) represents the brewery’s pursuit of ultimate purity. The word “Shinpaku” refers to the white core of sake rice, the spiritual and physical heart of every grain — where flavour and life begin.
Made with the finest Yamada Nishiki rice, meticulously polished to 35 %, this Junmai Daiginjo reveals an elegant bouquet of white peach, melon, pear, and jasmine, supported by a soft umami backbone and silky texture. Balanced, refined, and luminous, it’s a sake that embodies both precision and emotion — a reflection of Iwate’s pristine air and water.
