I ended up testing positive for corona and GW was marred.... I'm still a little under the weather, but my sense of smell is pretty much back, and there's nothing more to do, so I quietly opened the bottle.
This year, I missed out on the Abe Pink, so I was determined to try the Green, so I snapped it up right after it went on sale and got it.
I can smell lactic acid and rice aroma, but it seems mild, maybe because my sense of smell is still weak? The gasiness is strong.
Gentle sweetness and refreshing acidity. Very elegant and surprising.
In the second half, I felt a weak bitterness, but it was immediately sharp. The lingering taste is astringent.
I'm not in perfect shape yet, so my assessment is a little dubious, but it was soooo good! It has a nice aroma of rice, a clean sweet acidity, and a perfect balance of drinkability and lingering taste.
Let's put it in the top 5 of this season.

Thank you, Ponchan 🙇♂️.
It's not the same as a cold in some ways, and it's not easy, but I'm nonetheless working on it. My wife just found out that I drank alcohol 😅. I'll get it over with soon 😜.

Personal Evaluation
★★★☆☆☆
Only a few more days left on my sake tour around Japan...
Today, we will have a sake from Kagawa Prefecture✨.
Quite a unique cup 🍶.
It has a strong acidity, and I don't think it has the sweetness or bitterness that is typical of sake...
I guess I should think of it more as a lactic acid drink than a sake 😀.
I guess there are different tastes...

It's been a while since I've been to Abe. It's my first time in yellow, so I'm looking forward to it.
Aroma of citrus and lactic acid. My favorite type. On the way, the aroma changes to that of rice. More gassy.
The sourness comes first, followed by the sweetness. Both the sweet and sour flavors are strong, but the fact that it doesn't become unpleasant at the very least is as expected.
The sweetness and acidity continue until the aftertaste, and a weak bitterness lingers at the end. A nice finish.
Even though the sweetness and acidity are strong, it is well balanced and can be enjoyed until the end. It's a flashy sake, but a good one. I'll have to buy the pink one.

Hops and Doburoku 01: Sasanishiki" from Rice and Agave. I opened one of the most talked about bottles.
It has a strange aroma of rice, muscat, and citrus. The aroma of hops is nice. The gasiness is quite strong.
Mainly acidic. The rice flavor is quite strong, and it starts to feel more and more like sweet sake.
Towards the end, the sweetness increases at once. The aftertaste is mostly sweet. The sharpness is not good.
This is a very ambitious work, and it is certainly a sake that I have not had very often. However, it was probably easier to drink than To'o no Doburoku.

ふとくぼ🔰
Apple aroma. In the mouth, it has a mild sweetness and nuances of grapes. It is a beautiful sake with a strong taste of rice. It is easy to pair with a variety of meals. It's delicious.

One that I dashed out to buy on my lunch break on a weekday.
I opened the bottle slowly. I almost blew out the bottle only once, and opened it in about a minute. Automatic stirring.
The aroma is soft and fruity. There is a hint of rum. A strong sense of gas.
The characteristic of this sake is its sweetness. It spreads on the tongue with a feeling of gusto. After the sweetness, there is a sourness. A good balance.
The sourness lasts until the end of the drink, and a mild sweetness remains after the end of the drink.
The taste is as expected. The other bottle arrived just now.

かずき
Opened on June 12, 2021
Purchased at Higashi-Ginza Tatumi Seishudo
Sweet aroma of Ginjo...
Very juicy❗️.
The best food in the country.
It's definitely a stable Tamitsu ^ ^ ^.

While I'm getting into green and pink, this time I chose Abe-Black, which is also written as a standard on the label.
The aroma is more subdued than the green and pink. It doesn't have the unique peachy, muscat-like aroma that I secretly call "Abeka" this time.
However, the sweetness and sourness are assertive, and the acidity is still dominant.
The aftertaste is acidic and slightly astringent, and it finishes quickly, making it an excellent food sake.
When the ori is involved, the flavor increases and the sense of euphoria increases.
(Origarami is said to be limited).

On the first day, the aroma is melon-like and berry-like, the taste is sweet and sour but with more acidity. The gas feeling is strong. The aftertaste changes from sour to bitter and stays on the tongue.
It was different from what I expected on the first day, so I thought I would have a look at it.
At the Ginza shop of Tatumi Seishudo.
On the third day, it changed to the best condition. The balance of sweetness and sourness in the muscat aroma was perfect, and the unpleasant bitterness of the first day disappeared, leaving only the umami. The bitterness of the first day disappeared and only the deliciousness remained. I was convinced that this was the reason.
