The label has a playful feel to it, Abe Kang. A good sign. It's double-filmed, and when you peel off the chicken label, there's an owl.
Yeah, that's it.
But something good.
Mellow flavor and mild ginjo aroma.
Serve with soaked Sadohara eggplant.

I purchased this sake when I visited Muto Sake Shop in Matsushima in August. It is said that this is the only sake that they distribute. I drank it with a glass I bought here. It was delicious, with a Junmai Daiginjo-like sensation that goes down smoothly and a delicious aftertaste.
ABEKAN Junmai Ginjyo Dry Taste
Rating 4.4
Rice Polishing Ratio: 55%, Sake Degree:
+5 or higher, Alcohol content: 15%.
A new sake in the Abekan lineup. The bright red label is a dry junmai ginjo. It has a dry, clean, crisp finish with a ginjo-style aroma and the umami and sweetness of rice. The sweet dry taste has an elegance that gently fills the mouth. It has been tested and approved to pair well with meals. Enjoy it while eating. The aroma is refreshingly pear-like.
The label is a playful double-layered device featuring a chicken, a symbol of good omen that heralds the dawn (first label on the front), and an owl, a symbol of foresight (second label that appears when the front is peeled off).
These two birds symbolize the wish to "catch" good omens.
A souvenir from my wife's trip to Miyagi Prefecture. She bought a packet.
It has a mild flavor and acidity with a beautiful aftertaste.
It is delicious as an autumnal sake.
The following is from the description on the Isego Honten Internet store
This is a limited edition sake for the fall season!
Same double-layered label design as last year with "chicken" and "owl" on it!
The label is a watercolor painting of a work by a young artist [Takahashi Shion], who was born in Tagajo City, Miyagi Prefecture and lives in Shiogama City.
