Abe/SIRIUS Sirius/2022
★3.0
When the bottle was opened, it overflowed and 1/3 of the bottle was lost. I didn't believe the clerk's explanation that "be careful when opening the bottle". I had to open the bottle little by little. This is a "two-time fermentation in bottle sparkling sake.
This sake is a perfect example of Abe's sake. Fruity and acidity coexist. The Star Series is a must for sake beginners.
With an alcohol content of 13%, it is as easy to drink as ever. It is no longer a sparkling wine. Although sake lovers may have mixed opinions about it, it is beyond the category of sake. It demonstrates the breadth of the Abeno brand.
However, it is not enough for me personally. It lacked the bubbly and gaseous sensation that it had when the bottle was first opened. Also, the aftertaste of rice is weak for an Abeno.
Since it costs 2,500 yen, I was strict in my evaluation. We will continue to try all the series of Abe available for purchase.
