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!
Mutoya Chairman Mutoya's exclusive sake brewed to drink with flatfish sashimi! It is a flavorful sake that you will never get tired of drinking! Flounder carpaccio please ❣️
Junmai Ginjo Good Omen, Autumn limited edition
Abekan Sake Brewery is located in Shiogama City, Miyagi Prefecture, and although overshadowed by Urakasumi in terms of name recognition, Abekan is famous in my opinion mainly for its honest yet new style of sake brewing.
It is also good that they do not forget to be playful, collaborating with other breweries in the prefecture and creating unusual labels.
This time, the label is double-layered, and when you flip over the magnificent chicken, you will see what you will find on ...... from the back.
The taste is nothing to write home about. It has a sharp yet soft taste with a clean aftertaste. It goes well with saury, salmon, and bonito.
There are many autumn sake, but you will not find one that goes so well with autumn fish.
Yudofu today🎶
It's hot, but it's boiled tofu🎶.
Recently, I was watching a TV drama "Quartet" on Amapura, where the four of them were having yudofu.
I'm the type of person who is easily influenced, so I immediately made yudofu for dinner at home too 🥵.
with Abe Kan's 🐸💕.
This Abegan has a slight sweetness and a beautiful acidity that comes through quickly. I found out that it is inspired by the fruit "Sumomo" (Prunus persica var. densa). It is not as sweet or juicy as a peach, but it is gently sweet and gently sour.
I like Abe Kankan's taste so far no matter what I drink, and this one is also that: ❣️
It's so delicious 🥰👍
Best match for both hot tofu and bonito sashimi❣️❣️You're right, Abekan✨!
Good evening, Wakata 😃.
Oh! I see you found what you were looking for on ‼️ 🤗I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for 😊I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for on Abe's website 😙.
Jay & Nobby, good morning 😃You're right, there's no shortage of Abe-kan ✨It's like a hiragana takachiyo 💦🐸San seems to have a series in Abe-kan and I'm interested in her 👍.
