Abe-san was purchased on a trip to Niigata.
This one was purchased in Niigata City because the timing was such that I was still unsure about visiting the brewery.
Polishing ratio 45
12% alcohol by volume
＋The + is due to the addition of a single distillation shochu (distillation of sake lees) by Hashira shochu brewing. Amazing 🤔.
The aroma is not gorgeous, but it is delicious. The citrusy acidity is the main ingredient, and the rice flavor and sweetness are added, and it finishes with a crisp acidity.
It's light and easy to drink with little bitterness, and it's very tasty both on its own and with seafood or sashimi (batou-dai this time) 😊.
Today it suddenly got cold, so we went to Matsue City in Shimane Prefecture to get some ingredients for a violent seafood hot pot 🍲 with anglerfish, crab, and spear squid.
But at the supermarkets in the San-in region, each is under 500 yen and anyway inexpensive.
Hi soumacho 🐦.
＋I read the + description 3 times... anyway it looks delicious 😆👍 will study it 🤣.
By the way, Abe-san was also in Niigata, right? That was a fruitful trip👍✨
Hi Pon-chan 😃
You don't hear much about shochu brewing in sake 💦.
Sake brewing is also very deep😅.
I'm sure it's delicious👍
I have one bottle of sake left from my trip to Kanto and Niigata in no time 🥲.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
It's an unusual combination of brewing + distilling ✨.
I'll try my best to talk about the detailed differences 😅.
It's a fun time of year for pot 🍲 and sake 🍶 combinations 😙👍.
Slightly effervescent.
It has a strong flavor and fruity aroma, but has a great sharpness typical of Niigata sake. Delicious.
Great with fish.
Sake of the first rank
I tried it at a corner shop and enjoyed it, so I bought it at Nemoto Sake Shop in Sapporo. It is a low alcohol (13%) sake, but it has a good balance of rich taste and sweetness.
It was a low alcohol at 13 degrees, but it had a nice balance of rich taste and sweetness.
Aromas of whey, green apple, lily of the valley, cooked rice, pineapple candy and honey.
Mellow and slightly effervescent mouthfeel.
Sticky, soft flavor and freshness. Slight sweetness, gentle acidity. Great flavors, citrusy and refreshing bitterness.
Serve with pickled cucumber, Yose-Tofu, simmered bamboo shoots in Tosa sauce, or shrimp cocktail.
Tonight, we start our evening drinking early on a holiday evening 🍶.
It's been a while? Maybe not, but I'm in the mood for Abe, so here it is 💁.
Abe Junmai Daiginjo Orikagarami Nama Sake 2024BY✨.
We had some leftover Orikarumi Nama-shu, a.k.a. "Abe Gold", released in the early spring, so we wanted to try it.
The bottle was opened very quietly. When I poured it into the sake cup, the top clearings were removed, but it was still slightly cloudy.
The top aroma is a gorgeous pear and melon.
The taste is a juicy fruit on the attack with a very elegant sweetness and a pleasant acidity that is too good to be true 😋😋😋😋😋 The aftertaste is also sharp, but it is a jun-dai-hakoshi so there is no tangy taste or stuckiness, so it can be described as a beautiful sake 🤗.
After the ogara-meshi, the color becomes translucent and the umami flavor seems to have expanded 😊.
Abe Silver Vol.2-1 Hi-iri 2025BY
It has a light taste with a low alcohol content of 13%.
The acidity is strong, but it is not bad.
It has a strong acidity, but not bad.
First of all, it smells sweet, like an elegant sweet. I quite like it at this point. The alcohol content is 13 degrees. It is a fire-brewed sake, but quite fruity. The clear sweet flavor lingers on the tongue.
It may sound like the boom is over, but we finally got to camp for the first time 🏕️ and had a blast setting up, but after working up a sweat, I was able to drink the abe I was looking for 🍶 I bought it on the spur of the moment, but found a cardboard box of abe at the usual liquor store! I asked the clerk, "Can I buy it? →I asked the clerk "Can I buy it? I bought it without even looking at the price, but I heard that the price of sake rice has gone up by about 500 yen.... I bought it without looking at the price. The taste was too good with low alcohol content!
We get abe at camp.
What a great ✨
Not too high in alcohol content, refreshing and easy to drink, and the camping effect makes me drink more than usual✨.
I love Abe!
It never fails me.
I was told at my favorite liquor store that the price of abe will go up 500 yen...
The rice shortage in 2025 is affecting me.
Can't they do something about it😭
