Nanbu Bijin Shinpaku Junmai Daiginjo "Southern Beauty"

The nose on this very affordable premium sake is a collection of strawberry, floral, peach, pear and apricot aromas. This is an extremely drinkable fruit forward brew that has layers of smooth and juicy flavors with a surprisingly dry finish. Look for peach, apricot, and deep berry flavors on a gentle and inviting fluid that would speak to crisp white wine fans.  It is a bright sake that is not brisk, but rather a soft and round in the glass. WORD: Flavorful WINE: Crisp reds/juicy whites BEER: Crisp Ales FOODS: Shellfish, sushi, sashimi, grilled fish.
