Collection Review 47
This is a yellow label Abe. I love this sake brewed in one bottle...because it is so delicious. I was recommended to drink it because it is completely different from tank lot to tank lot and I gladly bought it immediately.
When poured into a glass, it is yellow silver and similar in color to the label.
Tank lot No. 1 was an oddball sake, a fruity food wine with a lot of lactic acidity, but No. 2 is, as it turns out, a more balanced sake with a more subdued flavor.
It has a very nice pop of freshness and juiciness, like a Japanese pear, with a crisp mouthfeel! And yet, the sweetness is not overpowering. It is a wonderful sake with sweetness, flavor, and acidity.
It is not sharply balanced in taste, but well-balanced in every way.
It has a gorgeous flavor that can be enjoyed on its own, but it can also be enjoyed as a food sake!
The lactic acidity is present, but much less than in No. 1. Or perhaps No. 1 tasted too much of lactic acidity. I love the taste that is so toasty, but I also love the taste that I can't even think of what I think of it, and when I notice it's empty, I love it too. Both of them have a very Abé-like taste, and they are the best.
