The first Abe Black I brought you was so good that I brought it back to you not too long after 🍶Regulus from the Abe Star series 🌟How is the power of the sake bearing the first class star of Leo 🤤 so I opened the bottle right away✨.
The top aroma is mild and hard to distinguish even if you sniff 😅it's hard to tell 😅it might be a nose blockage 👺It's just acidity in the mouth with enough sweetness on top 🥰It reminds me of lemon if I take just the acidity and exaggerate it 🍋It's light and refreshing but has a good taste, but it could be a little less sweet 🍋 It's a bit sweeter. I think it could be a little less sweet 🤔On the second day, the acidity was even stronger, but the whole thing was a round, beautiful liquid that I could gobble up like juice 😋I want to try the other first-class stars too: ✨️
Good morning, Nao888!
Abe, you are a quick follow up quintessential action 😁✨✨.
Your review gives me the impression of sweetness and acidity that I like 😍.
I'm curious to see what you'd like to drink as well 😋.
Hi Nao888!
I'm the same way, when I like the first sake I drink, I immediately want to try another one from the same brewery😇.
I also like sweet and fruity sake, but it is better if it has a beautiful acidity😇.
Hi Nao888 😃
Abe, I see you went for the Star Series! I actually had a bad year with the Star Series 😭I guess I had a bad year 💧Nao888 believe me, I'll try to get revenge 🤔.
Good evening Nao888😃!
This is the 🌟 series! We had it before too 😋Abe-san wrote 🤔"It tastes like lemon water with a lot of flavor"! We're on the same page 🤗.
Good evening, ma-ki🌛I've been biking up a very steep hill again 🚲️I think it's more sour and sweet than Abe Black🍶Maybe you prefer the standard version 🤔Try it out ✨.
Good evening, Yasubeyesan 🌛If you like it, you're bound to try it 🤤I personally preferred the standard one, but I could see that the brewer was trying his hand at it: ✨️
Good evening, HinaHanaMama 🌛I see that the Star Series was not to your liking 💦I tasted the Vega and didn't have a bad experience with it, so maybe you can enjoy it too 😉 I wish you success with your revenge 🥰.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛I was told by the liquor store that the rice used can indeed change from lot to lot: ☺️ I totally understand "meh flavorful lemon water" ✨.
THE SAZANAMI" is released only in years when the rice easily melts.
It is a well-balanced ogara-mi sake with a full, smooth, sweet flavor and acidity that makes it easy to drink.
I bought it when I visited my favorite sake brewery, Abe Sake Brewery, and saved it to drink 🤤.
The smell is quite fresh and fruity.
The balance between acidity and umami is slightly more acidic. It also has a fizzy taste and is closer to the Abe series.
There is a slight bitterness, but the 12% alcohol content and the freshness of the unpasteurized sake makes it easy to drink.
It is just like a ripple, and it is easy to drink.
Thank you very much!
I took a weekday (Mon-Thu) as a rest day and opened the bottle on Hana-Kin.
It's been a while since I tasted it, but it sure tasted like this 😊, but it's clearer than black. It is easy to drink with a good sense of gas.
It has a pear flavor, with a little sweetness and a noticeable sourness. I can hardly taste any bitterness. It has a good flavor, but I think the acidity is strong. In that sense, black is probably a better balance. It matches well with the demi-glace sauce of the hamburger steak. I think the sweetness increases a little when it is mixed with the black sauce.
Good morning, studying!
Huakin open from a perfect rest day 🎵.
I have to keep my rest day too 💧.
I'm sure it's delicious when it's hot and humid 🤤.
I wish I could meet you, Abe-san 😊.
Good morning, ma-ki-san 😃I had quite a bit of withdrawal symptoms around Thursday lol, it was worth it to be patient. As you said, Abe-san, you need to be careful when opening the bottle because it is very strong, but it's nice in the hot season 🫠😊.
Good morning, studying 😃.
We are on the same pace too! I can feel how thankful you are for Hwagane 🤗.
I can feel the deliciousness of abechan 🩶 even more 😙.
☀️
There was a "Select Drink Comparison Set" of Abesan 🤗.
You can choose 3 types from more than 10 types of Abesan. I chose 3 different types of sake rice to "compare like for like ❗️" 😏.
Each is cloudy in the glass lined up 🤍.
Raku-fu-mai is the most cloudy.
Each has a similar aroma, but Takananishiki seems to have the least aroma.
How about the taste?
◾️ Raku-fu-mai
The impression is mellow and calm.
The sweetness is the strongest 😚.
It doesn't seem to be a raw sake and there is no gassy feeling.
◾️Takananishiki
It has a refreshing sweetness 😙.
The way it leaves a bitter aftertaste is excellent.
There is a slight carbonation, as is typical of nama-shu.
◾️Ipponjiki
The least sweet of the three 😗.
The tight acidity permeates the mouth at the end.
This had the most awesome carbonation and freshness 😆.
This was a very different sake drinking experience. It shows the skill of Mr. Abe to be able to make sakes that take advantage of the characteristics of various types of sake rice 🤗.
Hi Hiro 😃
I'm enjoying your Abbe drinking comparison 😆.
I drank these 3 bottles, the green 💚 and pink 🩷 I also drank ❣️ the yellow 💛 was an interesting review as I haven't tasted the yellow 💛 🤔 of the abe's the 💚 is my favorite right now 😍.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama 😃.
I see that you are quite a fan of Abbey 🤗.
Please try 💛 too: ❗️
I'm sorry to say that 🩷💛 was not exactly side by side because it was a raw sake and had a gassy feeling. Next time I'd like to drink it exactly like that 😆.
Good evening, Hiro-san!
The Abbey drinking comparison is very fascinating!
I remember that the 💚🩷 had a graininess in the aftertaste, and I felt the individuality of each sake rice.
Although it is easy to drink, it may be quite a niche taste! (LOL)
Hi FSB 😃
💚🩷 is the graininess in the aftertaste...I see.
That's helpful 🙏.
It was a maniacal (?) attempt to feel the difference in sake rice by putting them side by side with similar specs 😆. It was a maniacal attempt 😆.
Hi Hiro 🐦!
I like this drink comparison very much! I would jump if I could find this in the store because it's hard to go buy abechan 😆.
I like the color 🩷, but when I see it, I would like to drink the 💚 the most 😊.
Good morning, Pon 😃.
This drinking contest is great because you can choose from more than 10 varieties yourself 😁.
If the color is 🩷 and the taste is 💚, then the bottle is 🩷 and the content is 💚 is the best 🤣.
Travel Sake...Part Three? 🍶
A pilgrimage to a holy place on a trip to Niigata 🚗.
No direct sales-only stuff, but I bought a series that is said to be less distributed 🍶.
Exactly as the name says...laid back - calm concept😌🌊🌊.
Less sizzling than the regular Abe series, but the same deep taste.
It seems to expand, but it doesn't. It seems to stretch, but it doesn't.
I'd love to drink this while watching sports during the day 😆.
I thought that Abe is delicious if you leave it a little while to change the taste... The third day... The lemon taste is increasing, but the alcohol does not extend... It's delicious!
It is a light sake that goes down smoothly and never gets old. The acidity and the umami of rice are pleasant. The low alcohol content makes it last a short time! It is refreshing and tasty!
Very tasty.
Aroma of rum, apricot, jasmine, and lozenges.
Mild, slightly effervescent mouthfeel.
Faint sweetness, good flavor.
Sharp citrusy acidity and bitterness.
Great flavors develop with the effervescence.
Serve with dada-cha-mame (green soybeans), u-no-hana (the flower of the rabbit), and sushi with sea bream.
This is my first attempt at Abe, not in the Abe series, but in the field-specific series 😁.
The aroma is calm and the taste is clean, sweet and sour 💡.
It can be served as a food wine or on its own 😊It's easy to drink 😋.
And I never get tired of drinking it, so I can drink it all the time 😁 Actually a lot has happened, it's been 2 weeks since I opened it and I'm surprised it still tastes good ✨✨✨✨.
