Nanbu Bijin (Southern Beauty) Junmai Ginjo Sake

Minty ginger aromas with notes of melon and anise as well. Pours clear. Clean upfront, with some cherry and notes of citrus in the finish.

From Total Wne...Very very light yellow pour. Lots of fruit in the nose, some apples and some tropical fruit and a odd smell that I couldn’t place. Flavor is again fruity, leaning towards tropical fruits. Sweetish and pretty nice.

Pours crystal clear, almost lightly grayish in color. Still bodied, with quick, watery sheeting. Aromas show sweet sticky rice, coconut water, honeydew melon, koji, and hints of cream. Traces of new leather arise as well. Flavors too are quite sweet, almost as sweet as a typical nigori, with big coco-melon fruitiness and some sharp koji. Alcohol comes through quite a bit on the finish. Medium bodied and sticky. Decent sake, but a little saccharine for my taste.

Very floral and citrus-like sake with lemon and lime notes, a touch of leather and velvet and a nice finish.

Thanks for sharing, iowaherkeye. Pale yellowish body. The aroma was somewhat meaty with some sweet woody notes. There was also some melon. The taste was cantalope with some muted floral notes. Perfumed flavors with some toast in the finish also come through. Nice and sweet, easy to drink.

Just a touch of straw color in this clear sake. Buttery anise scent, lovely. Slightly sweet, slick feel. Light honeydew flavor up front with a warm alcohol middle and an unusual almond paste finish. Yum! I do miss these Tohoku Jizakes!

this is a robust, potent fruity sake. the aroma is apples and floral overtobes. the is slightly oily with a full mouthfeel. taste is mighty sweet with fruits, mild rice and alcohol tastes. A real winner.

The aroma is sweet and fruity with rice and alcohol. The appearance is yellow clear. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thin and not too oily. Pretty good example of a sweet sake.
