From the innovative minds at Abe Shuzo in Niigata, Vega is a sake that defies convention and reaches for the stars—literally named after the brightest star in the Lyra constellation.

This Junmai Genshu may be undiluted, but it’s refreshingly light in alcohol, allowing its vibrant, complex flavours to shine. Think grapefruit zest and fruity acidity balanced with a creamy, yogurt-like softness—then, just when you think you’ve figured it out, an unexpected earthy umami appears, reminiscent of mushrooms. It’s delicate, yet bold. Fresh, yet deep.

Brewed since 1804, Abe Shuzo is a small but fearless brewery known for doing things their own way. Their “Star Series” is all about crafting sake for every moment—before, during, or after a meal. Their motto says it all: “Let’s enjoy making sake! Let’s do what we want to do!”

Brewmaster Abe-san keeps the specs under wraps—no rice polishing ratio, no rice variety—just pure enjoyment and discovery in every bottle. Vega is a little mystery, a lot of magic, and endlessly drinkable.
