There was a "Select Drink Comparison Set" of Abesan 🤗.
You can choose 3 types from more than 10 types of Abesan. I chose 3 different types of sake rice to "compare like for like ❗️" 😏.
Each is cloudy in the glass lined up 🤍.
Raku-fu-mai is the most cloudy.
Each has a similar aroma, but Takananishiki seems to have the least aroma.
How about the taste?
◾️ Raku-fu-mai
The impression is mellow and calm.
The sweetness is the strongest 😚.
It doesn't seem to be a raw sake and there is no gassy feeling.
◾️Takananishiki
It has a refreshing sweetness 😙.
The way it leaves a bitter aftertaste is excellent.
There is a slight carbonation, as is typical of nama-shu.
◾️Ipponjiki
The least sweet of the three 😗.
The tight acidity permeates the mouth at the end.
This had the most awesome carbonation and freshness 😆.
This was a very different sake drinking experience. It shows the skill of Mr. Abe to be able to make sakes that take advantage of the characteristics of various types of sake rice 🤗.

Good evening, HinaHanaMama 😃.
I see that you are quite a fan of Abbey 🤗.
Please try 💛 too: ❗️
I'm sorry to say that 🩷💛 was not exactly side by side because it was a raw sake and had a gassy feeling. Next time I'd like to drink it exactly like that 😆.

Good evening, Hiro-san!
The Abbey drinking comparison is very fascinating!
I remember that the 💚🩷 had a graininess in the aftertaste, and I felt the individuality of each sake rice.
Although it is easy to drink, it may be quite a niche taste! (LOL)
