Bijito - Junmai Sake - 72 cl

Bijito is a nihonshu sake, produced exclusively in Japan. Made from the fermentation of rice, water and koji (a natural enzyme that converts starch into sugar), this Junmai sake was produced from the Koshi Hikari rice variety, whose grains were polished down to 70%. Made at Kizakura, one of the largest sake breweries in Japan, this sake stands out for its aromas of apple, pear and citrus zest. The success of the Kizakura brewery rests above all on the quality of the rice and water used, the most important elements in sake production. In addition, the company combines tradition and modernity to produce spirits in harmony with consumer expectations. Kizakura's ambition is to have the whole world appreciate all the subtlety and flavors of sake! - Origin: Japan - Nose: fresh and fruity. Marked by green apple and by winey notes of white grape, it is also floral (white flowers), mineral (chalk) and milky (cream). Subtle, it develops notes of almond milk and rice pudding, before finishing on grapevine flower. - Palate: fairly rich and mineral, yet subtle and elegant. Notes of green apple and pear are followed by green banana and a dairy side (feta cheese). A very discreet acidity gives length. - Finish: subtle. Marked by notes of citrus zest (lemon) and a well-integrated minerality, it ends on a slight bitterness.
