On my way home from ramen at Shingen, I was in a good mood and happened to run into Abe at a liquor store I stopped by. But today was a day off from drinking. I was worried about it, and now I'm here.
Mild and sweet like a lactic acid drink, with a hint of rice flavor after swallowing. It is rare to find a sake with such a strong rice flavor. I am not a fan of sparkling sake, but this is different. It made my mouth happy. It goes well with gyoza.
According to the owner, there are only a few liquor stores in Hokkaido that distribute this sake, and there are only two other stores left in Hokkaido.
Thank you, owner.
Low alcohol
Easy to drink
Personally, silver = black, then blue
in that order.
I bought the silver one because I like it, but the black one is pretty good too.
It's very refreshing.
Aromas of lactic acidity, ay citrus, ay banana, and sauvignon blanc.
Quite a strong effervescent mouthfeel.
Sharp acidity, minerality and a hint of citrus. No residual sugar is felt due to the origami.
Serve with Yose-Tofu, stir-fried Chinese cabbage and bean sprouts, grilled vegetables, or bouillabaisse.
The aroma is peach, mango, and slightly yogurt.
It has a rich sweetness typical of kijoshu and a clear acidity.
It has a mild aftertaste and can be enjoyed as an after-dinner dessert.
Postscript
It was our sake, not our sake. ......
It is said that it is made with shochu (Japanese liquor), and it certainly has some of that nuance.
Good evening, my favorite "Abe", but actually this is the first time I've had the pleasure of seeing it at home 💁.
Abe Yasuda-Torigoe 2023 🌾🌾🌾🌾
It's a series made with different rice from different fields with no yeast added. I picked this up because it has some kind of autumnal jackets: 🖐️
Just like the jacket says, the aroma is a refreshing citrus 🍊 with a rounded tangerine flavor, while the acidity is firm and fresh with a mild umami aftertaste and a full flavor 😋😋😋😋😋.
It is the perfect expression of an autumn evening 😊.
Hi Kirataso 😃 We love Abechan, but we haven't tried the Plot series 🥲.
We like Abe-chan, but we haven't tasted the field series 🥲It's a very atmospheric label 😌I hope it's a little cheaper 😅but I'll try it next time👍.

Mmmm...it's like dissolving a Ramune in clean water, minus the sweetness. Light and refreshing.
A perfect food wine that goes well with a variety of dishes.
I love it 80 points.
Abe I wanted to drink.
And is it seasonal? I wonder if it is.
Very good balance of sweetness and acidity,
Elegant citrus fruits,
It is easy to drink at 14℃ with low alcohol and low gas.
The aftertaste is light and delicious.
The only thing I wanted to know was the specs.
But...,
The quality did not disappoint.
I would like to try other types.
After all, Niigata sake is good for you. Easy to drink with low alcohol content of 12°. Well-balanced umami and acidity. Very tasty. For drinking at home.
Like the Garakudai test brew I mentioned earlier, I'm not sure of the specs, so let's try this one!
Abe, which I got from Eiraku Shokudo last year.
Project "Yasuda Torigoe" by field 2023-2024BY
Mysterious sake!
The last sake we will compare this time.
One was deliciously sweet and the other was clean and refreshing!
I would like to end today with a sake with a difference!
To finish off the meal, we had burdock tempura udon noodles, which I had been curious about!
We were even treated to dessert!
Thank you very much!
