Green melon and candy floss aromas leap out of the glass when this luxe sake is poured, and this follows through on the rich, velvety palate which is all smooth nashi pear and ripe melon. There is a vibrant, fresh, zesty character to this sake due to some retained fizz from the fermentation tank and this is fast becoming the hallmark style for Abe. Harnessing this bit of magic lifts, the sake into the outstanding range particularly, as its balanced with clean acidity on a concise "full-stop” finish. Single pasteurisation in the bottle to retain freshness.
