As usual, this bottle was a gift from my father-in-law in Niigata.
It is a brand that is rapidly gaining popularity, and in my area, it is common to have restrictions on purchasing it.
Moreover, this one is from a series by field...my heart is pounding.
When I put it in my mouth, I was surprised. That's what I thought! was my first impression.
I wondered if this was a sake made with "hard water," which has recently been seen in some kura. I felt that it was.
The reason is the hardness that is felt more than anything else! From the moment you put it in your mouth, the bitterness and sharp corners stand out, and it is not what you would call an easy-drinking sake.
However, if you ask me if it is not tasty, I would say that it is definitely not. It is delicious.
Although it has the above-mentioned characteristics, the gasiness and umami that are typical of Abe can be felt, and it can be said that it is a sake with astringency rather than glamor.
Anyway, this balance is novel and interesting.
Naturally, because of this characteristic, it is not boring to drink, and it is not a bad choice for a snack.
I found myself drinking it before I knew what it was, and before I knew it, it was gone before I knew it.
I think this is the type of sake that is favored locally rather than nationally. I think it is the type of sake that is favored locally rather than nationally.
