Chicken label Abe-kan. I looked it up on the Internet and saw that it was described as a double-layered label, so I took a closer look and found that it really was a double-layered label.
The aroma was more like junmai (pure rice) than junmai ginjo, and it was quite a robust Yamagata sake.
On the palate, the first half is a strong junmai sake with a strong impact. After the bitterness comes the fruity taste in the second half, which is a hint of ginjo.
It is a good sake.
Ordered it for dinner on the first night of my stay!
Personally, Manazuru's antiquity was my favorite.
My grandpa was groaning at the spiciness of Hidakami🍶.
First visit to a liquor store and first brand
When I was working part-time at a liquor store, the brewer at Takaraiya told me about this 💫.
Cold sake.
Aroma of yellow apple and pear compote
Light and smooth on the palate.
The acidity cuts through the aftertaste.
Sake rice: Hakutsuru Nishiki (registered in 2007 by Hakutsuru Sake Brewery. A brother variety of Yamada-Nishiki)
Characterized by its gorgeous ginjo aroma and rice sweetness, with a rich sake quality. The rich shrimp broth is not to be outdone by the taro fries... 🥹✨Great treat 😋!
I bought this at a liquor store near the station during a business trip to Sendai. Since I was in Sendai, I wanted to buy a Miyagi sake,
Abekan KAERU🐸.
I was curious about the unique and indescribable label 🤣It's a fusion of retro and pop! I was more like a mix 🤣(sorry!)........ ...but that's where it hit me: ⁉️
Drinking it,,, it's not quite what I expected 🤔.
From the label, I thought it would be a bit more dry and traditional (my own imagination).
Sweet and sour on the palate! It has a lot of sweetness, and then the acidity gradually comes out from the sweetness.
A little apricot? Or is it plum?
It has a strong taste and a low alcohol content of 13 degrees, this is a dangerous one 😆.
Delicious 😋.
But the unique label design and the frogs are still a mystery? 🧐.
Is there a deep connection between Abe Kan and frogs?
Good morning, Takashi 😃.
This is Kochira Abekan! We got it last year too 🤗The label looks like a toad 😅but when you drink it, it's a sweet toad 🐸😋It says sweet senkou 😄.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😊.
I just looked again at J&N's post on Abe Kankan. I knew I imagined it to be dry 🤣and when I drank it, I was surprised at how sweet it was😱.
Sweet toad, indeed!
