Abe Shuzo Junmai Sake

ABE Junmai boasts a distinctive umami flavor profile upon the first sip, complemented by hints of melon that transition to a grapefruit-like bitterness upon finishing. This variety is crafted using the same brewing techniques and style as ABE's Junmai Ginjo, but with a lower rice polish ratio. Moreover, instead of adhering to a cookie-cutter recipe or methodology, the team prioritizes the unique character of each individual tank. As a result, the sake from each tank possesses its own distinct and enjoyable flavor profile.
