Tasting Notes

A departure from Sumikawa Shuzo’s traditionally lush and full-bodied style, Toyo Bijin Asian Beauty - Super Dry offers a unique interplay of vibrant fruit and intense dryness. The initial aroma is delicate yet inviting, with melon and banana notes leading the way. On the palate, these tropical flavors quickly transition into a crisp, dry, and spicy finish, reminiscent of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.

The Sake Meter Value (+15) signifies its exceptionally dry character, yet the careful brewing process ensures a refined balance between the fruit-driven opening and the structured, spice-laden finish.

Best enjoyed slightly chilled at 50°F, Toyo Bijin Asian Beauty - Super Dry is a bold yet refined sake, offering an exciting contrast of tropical fruit sweetness and a sharp, spicy dryness, making it a versatile choice for both casual and gourmet pairings.
