Experience the refined and distinctive character of Bijofu The Gentleman Tokubetsu Junmai Sake. Crafted in Kochi, a region known for its dry sake style, this sake offers medium-light body, a vibrant acidity, and a clean finish.
Expect enticing aromas of underripe banana, hints of passionfruit, and a lingering finish of lime zest and freshly cut mint. This versatile sake pairs beautifully with raw oysters, carpaccio, or richer seafood like tuna and bonito. Bijofu The Gentleman embodies the crisp, clean style of the Kochi region while still offering a touch of mellow fruitiness.
Hamakawa Shoten Description
Defined and precise, the Bijofu Tokubetsu Junmai is a sake with zip, spice, and drinkability. Not a heavy or earthy Junmai, drinks light and fresh. Sake from Kochi is typically dry and lean, and while Bijofu has a definitive dry finish the initial flavor is soft and mellow. The village of Tano is located right by the deep waters of the Pacific, and is locally famous for catching fatty, deepwater fish like Katsuo (bonito), making crisp and dry sake the ideal companion to the rich flavors of the ocean.
