Bijito Junmai Ginjo is an elegant and well-balanced Japanese sake produced by the traditional Kizakura brewery in Kyoto, founded in 1925. This sake is a fine example of classic Japanese brewing craftsmanship and offers a refined tasting experience for both beginners and seasoned sake enthusiasts.

Brewing and Origin

Bijito Junmai Ginjo is made from high-quality rice polished down to 60% of its original size – typical for the Junmai Ginjo category. It is brewed with pure spring water from Fushimi in Kyoto, known for its soft, mineral-balanced profile ideal for sake. No additional alcohol is used in the brewing process, resulting in a pure and authentic flavor.

Flavor Profile

This sake features a light and fresh body with a dry, elegant finish. The aroma offers subtle notes of white flowers, plum, and a light mineral touch with hints of seaweed. The flavor is complex, with rice powder, spices such as coriander and white pepper, and a hint of licorice, creating a harmonious and nuanced experience.

Serving Suggestions

Best enjoyed slightly chilled at 5–10 °C to highlight its floral and fresh character. It pairs especially well with sushi and sashimi, but also complements seafood, vegetarian dishes, or can be served as an aperitif. It can also be gently warmed to 35–40 °C to reveal deeper flavor notes.
