One of the sake "Abe" field-specific projects, this is "Kaminawashinden", a field-specific brand of sake "Abe", made from 100% rice produced in Kaminawashinden, Kashiwazaki, Niigata Prefecture. It has a fresh fruitiness reminiscent of green apples with nuances like freshly cooked white rice. The taste is rich in flavor with a low sweetness, and is harmonized by the abundant acidity. The refreshing aftertaste is a gem that allows you to enjoy the dryness of the wine.
