Purchased at Sake no qoobe in Yokote City, Akita Prefecture.
Tourists think that they should buy Akita sake when they come to Akita, but sake lovers just want to buy good sake, so this is a wonderful sake shop that has some of Akita's best sake, and also has Abe, Senkou, and Tasake.
Abeno Black is rather dry.
I'm getting to know the Abeno series better, and the Black has a strong clear impression and is well-balanced, so it's all-around good.
This means that you can drink it all the time and it will run out soon.
I finally got the sake I was interested in at my usual liquor store.
As the description says, it goes very well with meals. It has a sweet taste, but also has a slight effervescence that makes it very refreshing! I would like to try more from their lineup!
I guess it is positioned as a spring sake of the "Abe series".
I have rarely had sake made with Takananishiki. I wonder if there is one in the "Yamama" series.
Whatever the case may be, you can't go wrong with any of the "Abe Series" sake.
After finishing the work that had piled up after the trip, I went to Abe-san for dinner after a long time 😙.
The day after the information I received from the izakaya lady in Nagaoka, I changed my plans from Niigata City to Teradomari and then to Kashiwazaki to visit a brewery 🚗.
I was so excited when I turned off the street into an alley and saw the brewery 💦💦.
One of the bottles I bought there was SAZANAMI.
12% alcohol by volume.
100% Gohyakumangoku grown in Niigata Prefecture
The mouthfeel is beautifully light, typical of Niigata sake, but then a fresh citrus sweet and sour taste emerges and finishes with bitterness.
It is a modern pale sake. It's like grapefruit juice🥤 for adults.
Like the Akada we drank last week, it is very easy to drink and slurries up very nicely 😊.
The entrée was sockeye salmon and shrimp shinjo that I had bought back in Niigata.
I like the Ebi Shinjo 😙.
Good morning, soumacho!
I knew you went in the direction of your input 😁✨✨.
I'm so excited to visit the brewery 🤗.
The sake you got looks good and easy to drink 😋.
Good morning, ma-ki-😃.
I went as you predicted 😙.
I was excited before I went in and thrilled after I left😇.
Tank #1 seems to be limited to direct sales and I was easily bitten 💦.
Hi soumacho 😃
That would be the case 😆 and I would be so excited to see this picture 🤩.
SAZANAMI! I'd love to try one of these 😋I'm pretty sure it's a lagoon entrée 😊.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Well, I was very excited 😄.
It's light and acidic so it's easy to drink even in the hot summer 😊.
Too bad they don't carry it near us 😢.
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.
Good morning, Kirataso 😃.
Are you the newest member of abechan ⭐️ 🤩?
Deneb ⭐️, which is the big triangle of summer, is indeed full of favorite information! I'd love to try it😊
@Jay & Nobby.
Good morning ☀Abestar series, A Altair is not available yet but it will be in the future ☺️ (it was in Sairai, wasn't it?) Deneb is delicious! But opening the bottle is just so-so tricky ⚠️😅
Following beta, we will go alpha!
Is the aroma similar to beta? No aroma, only sourness, just like beta.
When you drink it, the base is the same, only less sour and more bitter.
It feels more light and refreshing because of that.
The aftertaste is less sour and more refreshing.
There is sweetness behind the sourness, and the balance is better than the beta.
This is a sake that is not too different from other sake.
If beta is lemon, alpha 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 😁.
