Abe Junmai Sake

 
$48.00
 

From the heart of Niigata’s revered sake country—where pure spring water and masterful brewing converge—Abe Junmai offers a modern take on traditional style. This Junmai sake emphasizes purity: brewed only with rice, water, koji, and yeast, it brings higher acidity and depth of umami.

On the nose, expect a light, fruity bouquet of tangerine, melon, pear, and soft berry notes, with an underlying savory whisper. The palate opens with a rich umami core, transitions through a gentle melon sweetness, and brightens with zesty citrus. Known for its unique spritz and clarity, it drinks light and fresh, finishing crisp with grapefruit zest and a lively, tart snap.

A versatile companion for a range of dishes—from sushi and grilled fish to savory appetizers—this sake invites repeated sips. Its crispness and balance make it both intriguing and broadly appealing.
