I got this one today on a recent business trip 🍶. Sairai's Starry Night Altair. Sairai means "the arrival of world-changing sake from Sai-no-kuni (Saitama Prefecture)" based on the concept of color. Altair is the first star of the constellation of Eagle, one of the great triangles of summer, the so-called Hikoboshi star. ⭐️ The appearance is pale yellow-green crystal. The aroma is fresh and gorgeous. Pear and grapefruit are the main flavors, with muscatel, melon, berries, and discreet white flowers. There is also a hint of rice aroma like powdery Kamishinko and white dumplings, with subtle mineral nuances. From the slightly light first touch, there is a gentle stimulation of gas. Elegant, fruity sweetness spreads smoothly and mingles with smooth, fine acidity. There is also a chilliness of acidity like stars twinkling in the night sky. The balance of acidity including light acidity and gentle sweetness is white strawberry. The wine flows smoothly without any hooks and is sharp. The lingering finish is medium and leaves a bitter astringent taste like white grape skins. It was a gorgeous and sweet sake that was easy to sip in the midst of the continuing heat wave (only for Sairai 😁). It is perfect for sipping a glass of wine while watching the night sky at the end of a departing summer 🌌.

Hi Aladdin 😀 I like Sairai too, but as far as I know there is only one store in Kansai that carries it and it's hard to get it 😅. My current job doesn't allow me to travel at all, and I envy those who go to other areas on business 🤣.

Good morning, Aladdin! [I see that there is a sake named after "Altair" at "Sairai" 😲. The Tanabata bottle of "DATE SEVEN" is intoxicating, but I'd love to drink it with this one and "Abe VEGA"✨.

Good evening, Yasubeyesan 😃. I only know of one liquor store in Kansai that you visited before 😌. I think it would be more enjoyable for you and your wife to move around energetically on your days off like Mr. Yasbaye does, because of the restrictions of traveling for work. ☺️

Good evening, Jive 😃. The Tanabata drinking comparison between Abestar series and Sairai Starry Night sounds fun 🌌😊. If only some other brewery would brew a "Deneb" so we could have a big triangular summer drinking comparison 😁.

Good evening, Pon-chan 😃. When I saw your post about your summer trip to Kansai, I felt like buying some sake, so I slipped a cool bag into my business trip luggage. I could only buy Sairai and one more bottle 😅.
