The ★ (star) series, a challenging sake that accelerates the evolution of Abe Shuzo. This is a kijo-zake that uses Abe Shuzo's sake as part of the brewing water. The rich flavor and moderate acidity were exquisitely delicious. At a corner bar in Hasegawa-ya, Niigata.
Yasuda Torigoe", one of Abe Shuzo's field-specific series, a sake with well-balanced rice flavor and acidity. At a paid tasting at Niigata Nishikiya Sake Shop.

REGULUS
13% alcohol by volume
Tastes like Shinsei with a predominance of acidity.
The aftertaste is a little thin (disappears quickly).
Blind, it could be mistaken for Shinsei.
Omoro brews this kind of sake, too.
Fukuhara Sake Shop's hanpukai
The color is yellowish. The aroma is little and seems classical.
It has a delicious flavor and acidity, and does not feel the density of 17 degrees Celsius.
When you drink it, it is not classical, but rather dark and modern.
We enjoyed it with beef stew, sardine stew, and salad.
Because of its acidity and dark flavor, this sake goes well with thick oily food and thickly simmered dishes, and the acidity makes it a refreshing match.
The Abe 10th Anniversary Sake White Bottle is.
Yeast used: Association No. 901
Rice used: Niigata rice
Rice polishing ratio: 45
Alcohol content: 14%.
Heat treatment: Fire-quenching
Dry, with a grapefruit taste.
It is quite sour.
The family likens it to La France.
Certainly a pear-like aroma can be detected.
The taste has sweetness and fruity acidity.
Although it is described as a "dining" wine, I would prefer to drink it by itself.
If you want to drink it with cheese, western food, or fruit, I think it would be good.
Next time, I would like to try the "Field" series.
Abeno Plot Series, Noda
Sake rice: Kashiwazaki rice
Alcohol: 14% abv.
The top is mild and dry, but the juicy fruitiness (muscatelike) is typical of Abeno. The acidity and slight bitterness are well balanced 👌.

I went to the Nagoya Junmai SAKE WEEK 😄.
It was raining ☔ on the day of the event, but the venue was barely under a roof, so I could drink without an umbrella 😄.
The sake is the blue label on the right.
Sweet and sour like apricots 😗.
The sweetness is thicker than the sourness 😊.
Highly concentrated and harmonious.
And the mouthfeel is straight down the throat without any snagging.
This is a unique and interesting flavor😄.
Abe Junmai Ginjo Lot vol. 2-2.
Long time no see, Abe is a silver Junmai Ginjo.
It has a sweet and sour apple-like top nose, and a slight chili sensation even though it is fire-aged. With a softly sweet taste of rice, it has a little more sweet nuance than vol. 1, but still drier than last year. A clear and refreshing acidity colors the crisp aftertaste.
This moderate dryness went well with fried oysters!
