Ureshicho Nigori Sake Limited Edition
We opened a bottle of nigori that we bought last year because we tasted it at the brewery and liked it, and also because it was a limited edition.
We enjoyed it cold.
About half of the bottle was already on the lees, so I shook it a lot without drinking the supernatant.
Even so, it didn't spew when I opened the bottle.
The color is cloudy, almost like drinking yogurt.
The top aroma is surprisingly mild, although I thought there might be a hint of koji (malted rice).
It has a smooth, fine, milky mouthfeel.
The hint of koji aroma softly escapes into the nose, and the taste is slightly robust with a sweet umami flavor.
After swallowing, there is a yogurt-like lactic acidity and a koji-derived riceiness, making it slightly sweet and easy to drink.
The aftertaste is a bit sharp.
With the addition of sugar and brewer's alcohol, it is well-prepared and has some amazake-like nuances.
When I went to the brewery to buy it, Ueda Sake Brewery registered me as a customer through a questionnaire, so when they made new sake or something, they called me and I refused to do that because of my fridge situation. Sorry 🙏.

After beer at a farewell party at an izakaya (Japanese-style bar).
I did not expect much, but the fruity flavor and the delicious taste of rice can be felt gradually as you drink. It is not too sweet, so it goes well with food. I finished two 300ml bottles with conversation and chicken dishes.

Ureshicho Yamato Shinshu Shiboritate Nama-shu
I went to the brewery and bought this one after hesitating between it and the unfiltered junmai namaeshu.
It is easy to drink because it is sweetened with sugar and other ingredients, but the alcohol content is 20%, so it is a sake that will give you a strong taste later.
I had it cold.
The color is clear and almost colorless.
The top aroma is sour, with a hint of grain vinegar and a slight sweetness at the back.
As soon as it is put out of the refrigerator, it has a thick, thick sweetness and a deep richness, and it is easy to drink. As the temperature rises, the sweetness and richness is complemented by a grain-like acidity, and the sake has a strong taste later on.
It is my favorite type of sake because of its robust flavor and richness, but this is the type of sake that will knock you over if you drink it all at once!
Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic), brewer's alcohol, sugar
Alcohol content: 20
It has a fruity aroma like lychee, and when you put it in your mouth, it is surprisingly very refreshing, with a subtle umami taste that comes afterwards.

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👍.
