I was thinking that I haven't had Abe Black for a long time, and then I realized that the price will go up drastically in October or November 2025! I was thinking that I haven't had Abe Black for a long time, but then I found out that the price was raised to 2,700 yen or 2,800 yen for the new release in October or November of 2025! It was originally a junmai sake, right? Maybe the reason why they dropped the specific name was to be able to set the price as they wanted.
It was going to be difficult to buy it sooner or later, so I bought it while I could.
I can only say that it is my favorite with a hint of peach and banana! Abbe Black is still delicious! I can't believe the price of this one is going to go up so much...even though it's delicious.
I was wondering what I should do when the price of junmai sake has been over 2000 yen, but now I get chills thinking about how much the price of other sake that was jungin standard will go up in the future.
I was feeling sad that I won't be able to drink much abe and thought I would take my time to savor it, but I drank it all up in no time ...... lol.
Ummm...it's still delicious ohhhh. It's fresh and cheerful, yet gentle, sweet and sour, but goes well with food, and the slight bitterness on the palate adds a nice accent, making for a great balance. It is delicious!
A sparkling version of FOMALHAUT. I really wanted to open them at the same time or in succession to compare them, but due to circumstances, there was a bit of a gap between them.
When I tried to open the crown with a corkscrew, the liquid level started to rise and it exploded when I opened it all at once!
Yum! Sweet and delicious! It is wonderful that it tastes great without any thought of what to eat with it or exploring the flavors as an after-dinner drink.
The sweetness like fine brown sugar and the rich flavor swell up from the shwashy stimulation, and just like the normal sake, it also has a good finish, so you can tell it is not just a sweet sake.
It is not typical of Niigata sake, which is characterized by its rich sweetness, but it is still able to be drunk with a refreshing aftertaste, perhaps because it is made by a Niigata brewer.
It is not dramatically different from the normal sake, but since Abe itself is often (slightly) fizzed, this one seems to be more like Abe.
I have been drinking only REGLUS in the Abeno Star series, but this time I finally tried something new! I'm looking forward to this one, as it's been a while since I've had a sweet sake.
I am looking forward to drinking this one. I bought two bottles with FOMALHAUT Sparkling so I can compare them!
It has a honey-like sweetness, but the aftertaste is not too harsh, and even among sweet wines, it is relatively refreshing, so it is wonderful that you can drink it as much as you want.
It is not impossible to drink it with a meal, but I think it would be better with something light like a salad with honey, cheese, sweet dressing, or fruit. Oh, but a sweet curry would also go well!
Kijoshu is usually priced higher than usual, but for Abe, the price was kept lower than I expected, at 2,500 yen! It sounds expensive when I write it like this, but Abeno's former jungin standard is 2,420 yen, so the price is almost the same as that. In that sense, it may be relatively reasonable.
It is true that I am too busy to drink it carefully, taste it, and think about my impressions, but when it tastes good, my impressions tend to be short.
Sake brewed with well water from the "SHIYA VILLAGE" sauna in Kashiwazaki, just like the brewery!
The acidity is very strong! So we let it sit for more than half a year to make it more acidic and mellow.
I bought it at Wadaya in Oimachi because they started to carry Abeno. No effervescence, modest aroma, slightly acidic. The taste is clear. I am glad to be able to buy Abé.
After a few days sober due to the flu, I opened a bottle of Abeno REGULUS as a rehabilitation.
The nose is still not in its full swing, so the aroma is not fully detectable, but it has a strong acidity that penetrates through the stuffy nose.
The price has been raised by 500 yen, so the cost performance has become much worse, but I still buy this sake because I like it very much!
Last day of a three-day weekend 🔚.
As usual, let's have a drink after putting the kids to bed.
Abe Star Series ARCTURUS
I got my long-sought "ARCTURUS" 🥰I thought I could complete the Star Series with this one, but the new one "DENEB" was released, so I couldn't complete it 😅.

Rosé color that you wouldn't expect from a sake 😲Strawberry-like aroma that reminds you of sweet and sourness, from the gasiness of the mouthfeel to the clean and dry flavor and sharpness, to the quite distinctive yet indescribable aftertaste and lingering view through the nose.
It is good with fried food, and seems to go well with full-bodied dishes, maybe even spiced curry 🤔.
［Thin sipped boar's mouth.]
If there were strawberry juice, would this be the aroma? It has a sweet aroma with a refreshing sourness, a sweetness with a fruity taste, and a dry finish with a sweet and sour aftertaste and a mysterious aroma that escapes from the nose.
Served with chicken tempura and grilled mackerel (frozen) from Hayashi Sake Shop.
The star language of Arcturus means "star of joy" or "bright star", and recently the Andromeda class 9207 Arcturus appeared in the remake of Space Battleship Yamato, Yamato 3199 ✨.
The fourth piece of equipment that has been my partner for 17 years finally got renewed and finished its last job on the 25th!
I'm going to miss him quite a bit as I've learned to work with this thing.
Thank you for all your hard work 🙇.
Dedication 🍶.
Hi Jive, good evening.
Abe-san is a drink I've always admired, but I have the impression that this one is a bit odd, although there are many different types 😋.
It sure is sad to say goodbye to the partner you learned to work with🍀.
Cheers 🍶
Good evening, Jive😄.
I see you have a new Abbey Star series, ⭐️ I feel it evolving more and more 🧐.
I'm sad to say goodbye to your partner, Mr. Jive 🥺This is another evolution of the times....
Good evening Mr. Jive🌝.
It's nice of you to call the stars by their names on a quiet night after putting your kids to bed 💫.
I'm interested in your star series, but I haven't been able to find it yet😅.
It's sad to say goodbye to my partner of 17 years 😥.
Good morning, Gyve 🐥.
Abe, you are steadily drinking 😆 The Star Series is very typical of Mr. Jaive 😊👍.
I don't know the equipment, but when I go to the hall, I think it is evolving. Thanks for your time 🙏.
Good morning, ma-ki-!
Abe" is also delicious 🥰.
Among the Star Series, "ARCTURUS" is brewed with ancient rice, which makes it quite a mysterious sake ✨.
Good morning, HinaHanaMama!
I got this equipment as a replacement right after I joined the company, so I was working one-on-one until I got to my current position✨.
I'm still going strong, but I'm going to cry and update this post now that the manufacturer is ending maintenance 😢.
Good morning, Chirsta!
I can drink more slowly after putting her to bed, so I always hold out until then 🤣.
Star series is available in some places, so please look for it ✨.
Good morning, Pon!
I thought I was done with "ARCTURUS" and now "DENEB", so I don't think I'm done yet 🤣.
It's a shame because he was a reliable partner ✨.
2,750 yen
Alcohol content 13%.
Ingredient rice: --
Sake degree: --
The first impression is acidity and then bitterness. Although the alcohol content is low, the impression is that it is not that light. It is the type of sake that can be enjoyed by itself rather than with a meal.
I'm getting up early for a convention tomorrow...
I think I'll stop drinking.
I'm done with exams...
I should drink...
I'm in a war 🤣🤣🤣
Since the exam is over
Let's drink because exams are over 🏆
Even if you drink
You can finish up early 😍.
It's been a while since
I'm going to Abe🍶👍
It's so easy to drink 😍.
It's easy to drink 🤔🍶.
Easy to drink 🤔🍶🍶.
12% alcohol😅
That's right 🤣👍✨✨
Good morning, chika 😃.
It was a battle of the brains that you knew you would win 😋.
Light abe start and that's why you cut it off early with 3 runs as planned 🤗.
Good evening Jay & Nobby 🤣👍.
It was a battle of the brains that you knew you would win 😋.
I won't tell 🤫.
We left early as planned to cheer on our son 📣😊👍
