This is the first summer sake I've had after drinking only the Star series, becoming a sucker for the standard Junmai, and preferring the Abe series. The title is also "Summer Sake". What in the world does it taste like?
The first thing that comes to mind when you take a sip is the acidity. The acidity gives the sake a lightness in the mouthfeel. It is light when served cold, and as the temperature approaches room temperature, it becomes more and more refreshing and medium-bodied. The sweetness is only a little at the beginning and switches to umami and a little bitterness in the middle.
It is a typical summer sake when it is quite cold, but after 5 minutes it shows its face as a dining sake with a lot of umami in its lightness, just like Abe. Of course, it has the potential to be enjoyed on its own as well.
Even if it is not my favorite standard junmai, it is still delicious. It made me realize how much I like Abe.
To be honest, I like it so much that I can't find anything in particular to say about it, so on the contrary, I'm running out of words! There are so many things I want to say that I can't express them in words... Next up is the standard Jungin~!
