How to say "impeccable" in Japanese

Choosing the right word
  • 申し分ないもうしぶんないCommon
    expression, i-adjectiveCovers 'impeccable' in the sense of perfect and completely satisfactory — conduct, work, or arrangements so good that nothing can be faulted. This is the form without の, identical in meaning to 申し分のない.
    Everything is fine so far.
  • 申し分のないもうしぶんのないCommon
    expression, i-adjectiveThe same phrase with の inserted, for the same sense of 'impeccable': ideal and leaving nothing to be desired, whether for results, service, or behavior. Nothing separates it from 申し分ない, so choose by phrasing.
    散歩さんぽには申し分もうしぶんのない日ひだった。↗
    It was an ideal day for walking.

「申し分ない」 and 「申し分のない」 are the same expression, the latter simply adding の, so for 'impeccable' meaning perfect, flawless, or leaving nothing to be desired either works; the choice is phrasing, not sense.
