Until last year I was drinking the Star Series, the Plot Series, and other planned products and not the main Abe Series. I started drinking this Abe series in the middle of last year and it has now become my favorite to the point that I feel I should have had it earlier! Naturally, I am quite excited as this is my first time drinking the new Abé sake!
The aroma has a nice Abe-like acidity and rice-like flavor!
The acidity has a sharpness similar to that of the Shinmasa Blanco that I was drinking with it. It has a very dry impression combined with a sense of gas. On the other hand, if you don't mix the tailings, the gaseous feeling is suppressed and the mild sweet flavor stands out. Both are delicious.
Since it is a new sake, it is fresh and very lush, but it is not too violent, so it is very easy to drink!
The Junmai Hi-ire, which I usually drink, has a very rich flavor and can be drunk on its own without any problems, but compared to it, this sake is much more smooth and shows its potential when paired with a meal.
As the temperature rises, the Abé character comes to the fore, and you can taste the standard Junmai-like sweetness, but from the second day onwards, the melon-like sweetness also comes out, albeit a little more gradually.
Abé is always delicious...the best!
