Berry-like acidity gives way to a distinctive bitterness and umami.
Not unpleasant, but rather light, including a sense of a "shwash".
Fairly low sweetness for an Abe.

Abe Shuzo x Nemoto Sake Brewery Private Bottle Tank #1.
A bottle that had been talked about on SNS and I was curious to hear that it tastes similar to a unicorn.
It is an experimental design in which aged sake lees shochu is added to sake at the timing of the kijoshu brewing process. When we actually drank it, we found that the composition was highly complete, with a dense, core acidity coexisting with a moderately sweet, elegant sweetness. It is just delicious.
Recently, the number of distributors of Abe Sake Brewery has been increasing, and I have the impression that the range of expression of their sake brewing is expanding more and more. I would like to continue to support this brewery.
Second fermentation in bottle using purple-black rice. It has a beautiful rosé color with dark skin tones. It lost a lot when the bottle was opened due to the strong sense of effervescence. It is a dry sparkling sake with a tight taste.
It is a quick drink outside!
Vega has a sweet pear aroma, concentrated sweetness in the nose, a little sharpness?
Regulus has a somewhat ripe, austere, and subdued aroma of grapes, with surprisingly little sweetness, and a crisp lemon flavor! I like this one.
Abe, I think I'll buy some next time and drink it.
To finish off the meal, I chose Abe, which I had been curious about.
Perhaps because I was somewhat intoxicated, I did not notice much aroma. When I took a sip, it tasted like a Japanese pear. It is light and very easy to drink. But why did they call it black?
Today we have Vega from Abeno, which comes with a nice acidity. I wouldn't call it fizzy, but you can feel a little bit of petitiveness on the tongue. Not much sweetness.
My favorite Abe!
This is really delicious.
I've been a fan since I first encountered it at an izakaya a few years ago.
I want to go to Niigata...
I'm the type of person who likes medium-bodied sake, but I basically like to enjoy dishes and sake together.
But lately I drink it while putting the kids to bed and nursing them to sleep (lol), so I can't keep pinching myself and tend to choose the sweet type.
If you have any recommendations, I'd like to buy some...! (relaxation during maternity leave)
