Ueda Sake Brewery
Bodhi Hashiwase Junmai Ureshicho
I had tasted this one before and had the same impression. It has a slightly acidic Bodhi yeast flavor and a clear umami taste.
Bodai Hashiwase Junmai Ureshicho 5 years old sake limited edition.
It is a 5 years old sake and has a well matured aroma. It has a clear acidity of Bodai Hashiro and a thicker caramel-like flavor.
Ureshicho Junmai-shu, dewy leaf style, made with Yamanokami yeast.
The most refreshing and, in my opinion, a little loose and lacking. It has a slight sweetness.
Ureshicho Sake Brewery's Amazake
Made with only rice and rice malt, it contains no alcohol. It tastes like rice cake with a creamy texture.
Nigori (nigori) Harazake
It also has a ricey and creamy taste, but the aftertaste is dry and spicy.
There were many regular customers, and I thought this brewery had many repeat customers.
The nigori sake was priced in the 1200-1500 yen range for a 4-goupe bottle, and the junmai daiginjo was priced at around 3500 yen, which made me wonder how it could be so inexpensive. I wondered how it could be so cheap.
Good evening, Ponchan 🌛I would like to visit different breweries, but I will try my best to take the train & walk to sample the sake 😁The service and taste here was great👍.

Ueda Sake Brewery (1)
The nearest station is Ichibu Station, one stop away from Kikuji Brewery, but it takes about 25 minutes to get there, so we took a walk. Ueda Shuzo brewery brews "Uresho" and "Ikucho" brands. We were allowed to taste the sake at the Hankyu Brewery Festival.
The entrance to the brewery is a bit confusing.
When you go inside on your own, you will find a spacious sales area, and a storekeeper who is a brewery employee will be in charge of tasting and selling the sake one-on-one.
Ikoma-Hozan Junmai Daiginjo
The first one they let me try was the Junmai Daiginjo, which was beautiful, rich, and delicious. It was beautiful, full-bodied, and delicious. It is made with 40% polished Yamadanishiki and is priced at 3,500 yen, which is very reasonable.
Ureshicho Unfiltered Junmai Nama-zake
I had tasted it before, and it is still slightly sweet and delicious.
Yamato's new sake, Shiboritate Nama-zake.
Thick, rich, sweet and delicious. Slightly gassy and acidic. A delicious sake with a lot of gravity.
Ureshicho Nigori Sake
It is quite creamy, thick and umami. I like it even though it seems to have sugar added.
I tasted too much here, so I will continue.

Ueda Sake Brewery in Ikoma-Hozan.
It's a sake brewery located in Ikoma, Nara Prefecture.
Ureshicho may be my first time to drink it.
It is a rather dry sake with a refreshing taste.
Perhaps it is because it is unfiltered raw sake at 17%, but I got the impression that it was clean but without a strong flavor.

◉Unfiltered Junmai Nama-shu (raw sake).
It has a strong and mellow flavor and is still deliciously mellow and has an alcohol content of 18%,
It is a sake for izakaya (Japanese style pubs) all over the country and is shipped exclusively to restaurants.
They sometimes bring it to department stores.
◉Bodai Hashiroshi Junmai
This sake is made with Bodhi Hashiro yeast and has the Shorekiji seal on it. It has a refreshing taste, with a Bodhi Hashiroshi-like acidity and a strong alcohol taste.
Nigori (nigori)
A very strong, punchy nigori with a strong alcoholic taste.
I've heard about Shorekiji before at this booth, so for some reason I always mention that I go to the Bodhi Hashiroshi Festival every time I visit.
Good evening, Mr. Nemuchi.
Well, I remembered all the sake Ureshicho that the okonomiyaki restaurant in my neighborhood had 😅.
I thought it was great that Ikoma-san used to have it in stock since I don't see it at the liquor store 🤔.
bouken, sorry for the late comment 🙏 I went to the Ueda brewery and was looking back at past reviews and missed your comment 🙇 Ureshicho is making delicious new sake this season too 😋 and the price is surprisingly low😳!

Ureshicho, a common impression at the Kuramoto Festival
I drank
Bodhi Hashiroshi Junmai
I drank it with different feelings from last year because I went to Shorakuji temple this year 🥺 It was complex and spicy at the end.
Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake
It was just as good as last year!
Nigori (nigori) sake
It has a strong alcoholic taste with a lot of gusto. I think the alcohol content is 20 degrees Celsius or so.

The rice is polished to 70% Nara rice.
Gentle and refreshing aroma, subtle
Aroma, subtle umami of rice, and a clean and crisp aftertaste.
A good aftertaste.
