Drinking Famous Sake! Abe from Niigata, the two biggest modern Niigata sake along with Kamo Nishiki!
From the aroma to the taste, it is easy to understand: melon carbonation 🍈 Ori (rice wine curd) mellows it out and adds bitterness to give it a thicker taste! Creamy melon float
For this type of sake, it held up surprisingly well after being uncorked! If you like melon, this is for you!
It's 12 degrees, so it will be gone soon!
By the way, if you ask me which one I like better, it's a very difficult battle 😓 They are both low-alcohol, but they both have their own distinct characteristics that separate them!
I skipped checking in.
The sweetness feels yellow>pink>green, but the green has a bitterness that the other two didn't have.
It is juicy, but also has a cool, refreshing taste, like green apple or muscatel.
My personal preference is somewhat lower than yellow and pink.

Ipponjiki of Abeno, which may be my favorite sake. The taste of abe is meek, or rather, it is an easy-to-understand and delicious sake that sticks with beginners.
I tend to let my favorite sake sit for almost a year, but if I drink it in June, it's still better than usual.
From the moment it is poured, it smells like abe. This, this, this! My favorite one!
Not just the aroma...it's the kind I love to include. While stimulating the palate with chiri-chiri-chiri-shuwa-shuwa, the main role switches from sweetness to umami on the way. How can a drink with sweet and sour bananas and a lactic acid taste schwish be so delicious? Just looking at the text, it doesn't look delicious, but it's outrageous, it's also crazy delicious! When you drink only the top clear, what you can tell is that the unique fruity acidity supports the backbone of the drink.
Is this really 12 degrees? Isn't it too much to drink? Abe has evolved one more thing, hasn't he? It's expensive, but I guess it can't be helped. If they serve something this good, I have no choice but to forgive them. LOL!
I gave it to a beginner and he said it tasted good, though it has a sake feel (compared to the capsule type sake). I didn't even notice it anymore, but it's a food sake as the label says...
A collaboration with United Arrows. It's fire-roasted but still fresh, juicy, fruity, with a bit of a schwash and a beautiful aftertaste. It's delicious and a real strike.
This sake is brewed using a traditional method called "Hashira Shochu Brewing," in which shochu made from Abe Shuzo's own sake lees is added to the sake during fermentation. This adds the sharpness of shochu to the goodness of junmai-shu, giving it a new taste. The smell is quite shochu-like.
The smell is quite shochu-like? Sake lees? It is a little bit like a sake lees.
When you drink it, you can feel the richness of the rice.
The full-bodied rice flavor is followed by a little bit of sweetness, and then it disappears without a hitch.
It was a delicious sake, different from the image of Abe Shuzo's sake that I have received so far!
Thank you for the treat!
A faint aroma of cooked rice 🍚.
Slightly effervescent and smooth, with a good acidity 😙.
Lemon, grape and other fruit flavors🍋🍇.
Orange-like flavors as the temperature rises 🍊
As the back label says, the theme is a new Niigata food sake that you won't get tired of drinking ❔.
The identity of Niigata, "Gohyakumangoku" is proudly displayed on the label 🌾.
And the word "NIIGATA" ✨.
No rice polishing ratio 💦.
Low alcohol and light bodied
It's rare to find a Niigata Gohyakumangoku with such a high acidity...
Niigata sake is originally easy to drink with little peculiarities, but this one is very easy to drink from a different value perspective 😌.
The name of this series changes depending on the rice melt of the year 🌊.
I think it's a concept that is typical of this place that is conscious of terroir and vintage 👏.
