Year-End Gathering at a Friend's Place ③ My first drink of the night🍶 I drank a bit too much and don't remember... lol Looking it up online, it uses Kumamoto-grown Shinryoku rice🌾 Apparently, it's aged for two and a half years at low temperatures, so it retains a clean, delicious umami flavor❗️
Beautiful cherry blossom-colored label.
Since my first visit to Shiogama Shrine was on New Year's Day, I bought it at a nearby sake store because of the connection.
Abekan Sake Brewery has been brewing the sacred sake of Shiogama Shrine and Shiobahiko Shrine since its establishment.
When the bottle was opened, it was beautiful with a gas that came out in a sizzle. I was so impressed that I took the second photo, but it may not convey the impression.
The aroma is gorgeous and fruity, as is typical of nama-shu.
It has a gaseous feeling.
The taste is like fresh muscat, but not too assertive, and finishes with a crisp bitterness.
It was a delicious sake with the freshness and gorgeousness of nama-shu and the crispness typical of the Abekan Sake Brewery.
Eh, microcarbonation⁈
I was surprised by the microcarbonation, or maybe I didn't feel much of the characteristics of the drink.
I don't know if that was a good thing or if the sake was right for me to begin with, but I drank it all in one gulp.
It was delicious.
I saw it on YouTube and it looked delicious, so I bought it.
I had an image of Abe-kan as masculine,
But this one is cloudy and shwashy, and the label is cute!
It's fresh and smooth, and my brother said it was the easiest to drink 😆.
After swallowing it, you get a dry feeling like beer, which is indescribably nice. ☺️
Great with sashimi and sushi👌!
A light nigori ginjo. Lightly cloudy, with a strong sense of gas and freshness typical of nama-shu, it has a slightly sweet, fruity, and smooth topping. The acidity is strong and leaves no aftertaste. Delicious!
