Purchased on a trip to Miyagi. It is a jacket purchase. Goldfish swim coolly behind the label. It has a slightly sour, summery, refreshing, but not too harsh, mellow mouthfeel.

This is also one that Mr. and Mrs. Wakata bought when they went back home and brought back to Osaka 🍾.
It's a local exclusive and the label is loose and cute✨.
It was very easy to drink as the gorgeous aroma spread and went down quickly 🍶.
It was actually my first Abe Kankan and I can't wait to try other kinds of sake. Thanks for the treat 🍶.
Not much aroma.
The taste is almost no sweetness, mainly umami and acidity, with bitterness at the end.
When heated, the bitterness and acidity are reduced considerably and the flavor becomes more umami-driven.
It can be served hot, but it is better to drink it cold as a quick mid-meal drink.
Purchased at usual liquor store.
This is the first time for me to buy Abe-kan!
I was attracted by the goldfish on the back of the label.
It is not very sweet and has a moderate aroma.
It is a very summery sake.
It has a sharpness! It is not so sharp, so I have an impression that it is a bit of a mixed bag...?
Maybe it was because it was not my first drink, so my impression will change after tomorrow...?

Summer sake! I thought the label was pretty simple... but I didn't expect to see a goldfish pattern on the back of the label.
I didn't have time to chill it that well, so it was a bit on the dry side, but it still tasted sharp and light enough.
It went well with light and refreshing dishes such as tomatoes with salted kelp.
Although it was served a little lukewarm, it is a delicious sake with a crisp and clear taste, just like a summer sake with goldfish swimming in it. It went well with Bean-curd soup with Bean-curd and Bean-curd soup with Bean-curd. It went well with hot bean curd.
