It blew up when I opened it, as you would expect if you let it sit for a long time in the cask.
The fermentation process leaves a bit of a sour taste, but the aroma is gone, and the flavor is sweet and mellow, plus a bit of acidity and bitterness. I see what you mean.
Pillar shochu brewing
What is that? What is that?
They put their own shochu into sake before it goes into the vat!

Today I opened an abe for New Year's visitors. It is a delicious sake, which is understandably growing in popularity these days.
This Vega has a low 12% alcohol content, making it a refreshing, slightly sparkling sake that is perfect for a mealtime drink. Delicious!
It's draft, it's close to nigori, so it's crisp! It's refreshing, with a fizzy sensation like Milky Way or light rice wine. The sake flavor comes in waves, like a faint sake flavor. The fog-like sake is followed by fine bubbles, carbonation, and a hint of acidity, and after the refreshment, a savory flavor lingers in the throat. The fat of the hamachi is washed away by the cleanliness of the abe. Yogurt-like flavor, plenty of carbonation, flavor of nama, smooth and refreshing... This is a modern sake that people like for a reason, and it's a great new introduction. There are so many different and light sakes. Niigata is always as clear and clean as snow, a snowy country after all.
Tonight, I'm opening my second bottle of the New Year after returning home from yesterday's trip to Tonga 🍶.
Abe Gold White Label Hi-iri 2024-2025BY✨
I've had the Black Gold a few times before, but when the White Gold was released, I couldn't resist snapping it up 😓.
The aroma is green apple and muscatel with light acidity. The taste is also mainly acidic, with a moderate juiciness, and the dry aftertaste is soft, low-alcohol and very easy to drink 😋🤤😋🤤😋.
I finished 4 gou of it in no time 😆.
Abe Commemorative sake for the construction of the new brewery.
This is a special sake brewed in the Hashira shochu brewing process using shochu produced by the company itself.
It has an aroma of melon and pear, and a characteristic acidity on the palate. It has a complex umami flavor that is well drawn out, while the clean and crisp aftertaste expresses the goodness of the Hashira shochu brewing process.
When served hot, it is also delicious as it is mellow and well-balanced after the corners are removed!
I would like to visit the new brewery someday to see how the bottles are personalized!
In years when rice tends to melt easily, "Sazanami"
Pleasant acidity and greef-like freshness. I didn't know it was possible to produce such flavors even with Gohyakumangoku.
