Tasting Notes

ABE Junmai Daiginjo (Modern) is the most refined sake from Abe Shuzo, polished to 45% and brewed with 100% Koshi Kagura rice cultivated in Niigata Prefecture. Crafted with Niigata’s signature ethyl caproate yeast, it offers sweet, fruity aromas reminiscent of melon and white peach. On the palate, it presents a clean, well-balanced sweetness, lifted by Abe Shuzo’s signature crisp acidity. This sake delivers a straightforward, modern Junmai Daiginjo profile that is both vibrant and approachable.

One of the brewery’s unique philosophies is to stop fermentation based on flavor, not alcohol percentage. As a result, slight variations in alcohol content may occur between batches, a testament to Abe’s dedication to flavor-first brewing. This is a limited-release sake that embodies Abe’s "Enjoy Fermentation" spirit. 

A limited-edition, modern-style Junmai Daiginjo, ABE Junmai Daiginjo (Modern) is a true reflection of Abe Shuzo’s meticulous attention to fermentation and flavor, crafted for those who seek a clean, fruity, and refreshingly balanced sake.

fruity aroma

this brew hits smooth and feels so fresh. Feels like sipping crisp grape juice but way more grown-up. Bright fruit pops then leaves you with this classy dry edge that kind of reminds you of wine. Perfect balance and zero fuss, just sip and smile.
