Tonight, we open this bottle for a mid-week, after-work drink 💁.
Abe DENEB 2024BY ✨🦢🌠.
When it's a new brand in the Star Series, you can't help but drink it 🤩🤩.
I was intrigued by the meta information about the second fermentation in the bottle, orikagari, nama sake and I like it too much 😊.
The bottle was opened successfully after about 5 minutes of opening and closing the crown 👑😌.
It is already in a state of "orikagari" because the gas rises when the bottle is opened.
The aroma is lactic acid, with a refreshing grapefruit and lemon citrus aroma.
The taste has a fizzy, bubbly sensation that spreads, and while the lactic acidity and rice sweetness are present for a moment, the bitterness and spiciness soon take over, making it a very delicious adult grefle squash 😋😋😋😋😋 It is similar to the previous Uchiai Kaikka🎇 in lineage, but it is hard to say which one is the better.
Following beta, we will go alpha!
Is the aroma similar to beta? Like beta, no aroma, only a sour aroma.
When you drink it, the base is the same, only less sour and more bitter.
That makes it feel more light and refreshing.
The aftertaste is less sour and more refreshing.
There is sweetness behind the sourness, and the balance is better than Alpha.
This is a sake that is not too different from other Japanese sake.
If β is lemon, α is hassaku? Grapefruit? It has the image of a sour citrus fruit with sweetness.
I feel more sugar than beta.
But in any case, it is a sour sake, and I wonder if it is just the sweetness compared to the beta, or if it is a very sour sake.
It is a sake I would like to drink in the summer.
Sour! Very sour, just as the previous review said.
Lemon juice?
This is a refreshing summer drink!
As a lemon lover, it was a big hit!
After the lemon, you get a little bit of rice flavor and smell, but it's still lemon!
There is a bitter taste in the back, but it is not that strong!
This is a sake to be drunk with gusto!
It's hard to believe it's sake!
It is like a white wine with strong acidity!
A little expensive, but I'm glad I got it!
I'm looking forward to the next alpha in the fridge!
In Nagaoka.
The lady at the restaurant offered me "Abe", a hidden sake of the day that was not on the menu.
I was so happy because I had wanted to try it 😄.
Alcohol content 13 degrees.
Akada is the name of the field.
The aroma is apple-like with a pleasant acidity and umami balance. Thanks to its low alcohol content, it is light, easy to drink, and delicious.
The entrée is prawn shinjo.
When I told her that I wanted to buy some because it is not sold in Hiroshima, she told me that the brewery is located in Kashiwazaki, next door, and that her sister goes there to buy it directly. The next day, I will be heading in the opposite direction to Niigata City🚗.
Good evening, soumacho!
Informational input - this smells like a slight change of plans 😁✨✨.
Abe-san, it looks delicious 🤤I'd love to try this sake from your brewery 🤗!
Good evening, ma-ki-chan 😃
Abe-san, I think ma-ki-san will like it because it is more modern while retaining the lightness that is typical of Niigata 😉.
I liked it by the way 😙.
I'll get back to you on the Abe-san stuff 😁.
ABE DENEB 2024
ORIGAMI Nama Sake
It took a lot of effort to open the bottle 💦 but it was very easy to drink on its own,
It was very easy to drink on its own, with a nice acidity.
Sweet and sour, delicious!
I'd like to repeat this one.
But it doesn't look like there will be any.
Good without dripping sweetness
It needs to be cold
It's better when it's cooled down.
The other day I had the "Abe Raku-fu-mai" ✨.
When poured into a glass, a light nigori color with a hint of whiteness jumps out at you 👀.
From the outside, this bottle is soft and has a somewhat gentle atmosphere.
When you get close to the aroma, the first thing you notice is the milky, sweet aroma.
It has a dairy-like tenderness to it, yet it comes in easily without being heavy.
In the mouth, a slight sparkling sensation spreads pleasantly, followed by a light sweetness.
The lingering finish is interesting in that it reveals a slight banana-like aroma.
It is fruity, but not too distinctive, and finishes with a refreshing aftertaste that will keep you coming back for more 😋.
Some people may imagine "light nigori" to be mellow or heavy, but this "Raku-fu-mai" is very clear and pleasant to drink.
I would recommend this bottle to those who are not used to drinking a lot of sake or who usually prefer lighter ✨.
Each sip of "Raku-fu-mai" gives you a new expression.
As the name suggests, it is like a "joyful breeze" is blowing in, bringing you a refreshing and happy time 🌸.
