Abe Regulus 2023 720mL — Bright Acid, Low-Alc Lift
🍶 This is sake with real freshness and real energy. Abe Regulus 2023 leans bright, lively and sharply refreshing, with a white-wine-like snap that makes it feel clean, modern and seriously easy to keep pouring.
Made in Niigata under the Abe label, Regulus is built around a lower-alcohol, acid-driven style that gives it a brighter, more vivid feel than a softer everyday sake. It has that polished, modern edge that makes it stand out straight away — expressive enough for sake drinkers, but welcoming enough for people who usually reach for wine.
The palate is light on its feet but not thin. You get freshness first, then gentle rice sweetness and soft umami through the middle, with enough acidity to keep the finish tight and clean. It feels bright, drinkable and made for chilled pours.
At 13% ABV, it stays vivid, refreshing and very easy to enjoy.
