There was no way I could climb a steep hill and get a bottle! The owner recommended the Gold, but it was too expensive and we couldn't afford it 💦 Of course we couldn't wait until the weekend, so we opened the bottle in the middle of the week 😆.
The first sip is unexpectedly apple 💨 the top aroma is ladylike 🍎 the mouth is sweet and tart 😋 there is no bitterness, astringency or alcohol ✨ it's a beautiful, thin liquor compared to black 🤔 they are both delicious ☺️ but the difference in volume makes a difference in the flavor. I'm sure there will be a difference in taste between the two.
Good evening, Nao888😄.
Indeed! I'll buy it because I climbed a very steep hill. ☝️ but two abe! Hmm? Are you buying more? But still, I'm comparing silver drinks from VEGA 😍which one is better for me?
Good morning, Nao888 😀
Our family's luck with abe-san is bad, every time we go to the store for abe-san, it's always sold out...so we've never had abe-san or new sake nigorishi-shu 🤣.
I'd love to have some clear sake someday 😀.
Hello, Nao888!
Ohohohoho Abe-san, you brought another one with you... ⤴️
I am so jealous of you!
I'd love to try different labels 🤗 because even in the same brewery, there are quite a few different tastes.
I want to meet them first 😋!
Good evening, HinaHanaMama🌛You have to take your hard slope reward with you 🥰Surely only 2 bottles for the new sake season 🍶Mama's recommendation would be VEGA which has a strong acidity claim 🤔I personally preferred the black one.
Good evening, Yasbaye 🌛I think we've been to the same liquor store together 🍶I'm sure they have black now ✨The new sake nigori looks so good 🤤Sure you are a nigorist: ☺️
Good evening, ma-ki-chan🌛VEGA has a clear acidity, and Silver has a good balance of acidity and sweetness. ✨️ You can find them at Jutoku-san in Suita. ☺️ Please visit there 😉.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 🌞Hatsu Abe was a silver 🌞It was a great choice for a food wine with a less curdled acidity than the ✨️VEGA 🍶Please try again: ☺️
I'm going to work tomorrow 😭 so I climbed up the hill to get a bottle of Abe-san to cheer myself up 🍶I was excited to see what the first star of Kotoza tastes like ✨I opened the bottle immediately: ☺️
The first sip is a gentle whiff 💨 the top aroma is of acidity and young white peach 🍑 the mouthfeel has an impressive acidity and a gentle sweetness, it is light without alcohol but it finishes dry 😋 this is still delicious ❣️ even though I know it is sake I think of wine with a high acidity 🍷 I've never had wine but I think it is a good wine. I've never had wine before 🤣I think it would go well with light but well seasoned western food 🤤I've decided to drink more and more of the regulars 🥰.
Good evening, Nao888!
I've been to 🚴♂️ and had a very good time at Abeno Vega 👍It seems to be easy to drink with low alcohol content❣️ Star Series actually doesn't give me a good impression 😅but if Nao888 is raving about it, I might give it a second chance 🤔.
Hi HinaHanaMama, good evening 🌛It's not so much that it's an extreme slope, but there might be some extra compensation for your hard work 😅But I think VEGA is definitely delicious 🥰It might have been updated since you drank it ✨Please visit ❣️
Good evening, Nao888!
I'm sorry you had to start work💦.
Such a day before the start of work 🚴.
Abe-san, I knew it was beautiful and easy to drink 😋😋.
I'd love to meet you too, since I've never seen it in person 🤤.
Good morning, ma-ki-San 🌞I see your work has started 💦I'm sure you'll get through it thanks to Abe-san who took you 🍶I think it's worth the steep climb up the hill 🍶I'd love to take you ☺️ ❣️

I had a barbecue at my parents' house and the second half, sake was served.
Abe
But there's something written on it with a warning 😅.
Like other sake with a warning? I opened it normally...
Pop! With a "pop" sound, the seal and the lid flew away 😅. and the lid flew away somewhere😅.
It's a delicious and shwashy liquor...
