Shonai Bijin is a sake born from tradition, crafted to honor the heritage of Japan’s Shonai region. Its name, meaning “Shonai Beauty”, reflects both elegance and a deep connection to place. Brewed with time-honored methods and local ingredients, it captures balance and depth in every sip.

On the palate, Shonai Bijin offers pronounced umami, rounded by a gentle sweetness. Layers of rich rice flavor mingle with subtle earthy tones and delicate fruit notes, think melon and apple. Versatile and expressive, it can be enjoyed either chilled or gently warmed.

Perfect alongside hearty dishes, it shines with braised meats, lasagne, or agedashi tofu. Shonai Bijin is more than a sake; it’s a graceful expression of region, tradition, and craft.
