I had a different tank of Abeno junmai namaishu a week ago and would like to drink it while comparing the differences with it.
The aroma is quite weak. I mean, it's almost nothing...maybe because I drank it after the Shinshu Kamerei...lol.
What is it? Compared to tank #2, isn't it much cleaner? It has the same good balance as the fresh bottles. What is it? This is so good!
Last year, the second tank was often more refreshing than the first tank, but this kind of difference can be seen when the tanks are different! Interesting!
The flavor, which could be mistaken for sweetness, and the aroma that comes in the latter half of the bottle is very Abé-like. In fact, the sweetness is moderate because of the crisp acidity. It has an exquisite "freshness" that is a little different from the expression "fruity" or "juicy.
It is a beautiful sake that combines the best of both mellow and refreshing qualities. You can drink it all the time without getting tired of it, so be careful to know how much you drink, or you may end up in an ambulance.
