After harvesting the Hitogokochi rice in Shinshu Sanada, Tozawa area, we had a consolation party at the Tozawa community center and waited for the Shinkansen at Yakitori Bancho in Ueda station on the way home ♫ We will continue with sake from Ueda! We started with Shinshu Kamerei, which is in the Hall of Fame. I went to buy it again this spring straight after planting rice. The sake is still as delicious as ever, with a hint of schwarziness!
Tozawa Sake Rice Production Project" in 2025 = Sake returned from crowdfunding 🍶.
We enjoyed this sake while thinking about the rice fields of Tozawa in Ueda City, Shinshu Kamerei's hometown 🍶.
The appearance is a very pale yellowish green.
It has a gaseous feel with just enough bubbles to coarsely coat the glass 🫧.
The aroma is fresh, crisp, and soothingly sweet.
Slightly overflowing of ginjo aroma comes from the glass.
Aromas of ripe sweet bananas, fresh quince, and citrus peel are present behind the young pear.
The beautiful rice aroma, like freshly pounded rice cake, is also rich and powdery.
In the mouth, the texture is smooth.
A gentle gassy sensation slightly tickles the tongue.
The sweetness with a sense of dark fruitiness comes in a jolt, and it sways on the tongue accompanied by a mild and beautiful rice flavor.
The very gentle and smooth acidity accompanies the juicy taste.
In the middle part, the hint of ginjo aroma is pleasantly intoxicating, and the sweetness and deliciousness is well balanced with the beauty and clarity of the rice.
Toward the end, a beautiful bitterness peeks out, creating a tightness in the midst of the sweetness that almost makes you fall in love with it.
It has a good umami when swallowed, and has a good sharpness.
The lingering aftertaste is long with a beautiful bitterness and the sweet, fresh ginjo aroma of the returning aroma.
We enjoyed the blessings of the rice fields of Tozawa🌾🍶.
Good evening, Aladdin 🌛.
I got this sake through the hanpukai, but I was reminded that there are other ways to get "returned gifts" 🥰.
I would like to see the scenery of the rice fields in Tozawa once myself 🌾.
Hi Aladdin 🐦.
It's wonderful that you are supporting us and I love that the return gift is here! I'm impressed with the good way you are doing to revitalize the town and keep everyone happy 😊.
Good morning, Jive 😃.
Hanpukai is another method of support through the sake store in a broader sense 📣.
If you become a Tozawa sake rice owner, you can see what's going on in the Tozawa rice fields as well as rare visitors (like antelope 😳) etc. on the LINE group!
Good morning, Pon-chan 😃.
The Shinshu Kamerei-Tozawa-no-sato T-shirt I used to wear is also from the same initiative 📣.
I think going to your hometown is the best way to support, but even if that is not possible, I appreciate that there are various ways to support ☺️
Sweet and juicy, with a great sense of balance, quite to my liking.
The aroma is modest, but the more you drink, the more attractive it becomes.
Shinshu Kamerei "Hitogokochi" will make you fall in love with both the brewery and the town.
Next up is the green label✨.
It's a beautiful sake with a good balance of aroma, sweetness and acidity 😊.
It's easy to drink ✨☝️
Actually, the owner said he got it from an acquaintance on a trip, including the aforementioned sake 😁.
That's why it's limited to the brewery 😊.
Hi Kano 😃
Nice 🐢, I have no luck with 🐢 and it's hard for me to meet them 😭
I wonder if I can buy the limited edition of the warehouse if I go there 🚗.
But I don't have a chance to go to Nagano 💦.
Oh! My husband is going to Nagano this weekend...?
Kano-san, good evening 😃.
We went on a liquor store tour🚙 and got the brewery limited edition Yamae Nishiki and Green Label ‼️ It's good that you can get it at Okazaki 🤗 everyone wants to go there!
I'm drinking out today 😙.
So we came to our usual restaurant 😊.
They had Shinshu Kamerei, so I ordered it right away: ☝️
It has a nice mouthfeel ✨.
It has a soft sweetness and a sourness that finishes with the deliciousness of the rice 😊.
It's a delicious sake 😁.
Hello, Kano-san!
I see that you are going out for a relaxing drink at your usual restaurant today ⤴️
That means you must be drinking a lot 😁✨✨.
Turtle is a great place with a great lineup as always 😍
The second one I got on my recent visit to Ueda.
When I heard that dinner was oden
My child asked me if I had any sake.
he said.
I'll open it.
Kinmon-Nishiki 55% polished, 15% alcohol by volume
The sound of the bottle being opened is the sound of a bubbling sound in mp.
As soon as it is opened, the bottle opens up with a delicious aroma of honey apples!
Microbubbles 🫧 in the glass though it is fire-aged
It's still delicious when you drink it 😆.
Sweet but not too sweet.
It tastes like Kinmon-Nishiki.
Just the right balance.
Even the kids loved it!
If people who are not used to drinking it say it tastes good
I think it is really delicious.
I must go to Ueda again!
Hi ymdaz 😃
If oden🍢 is your accompaniment and your kids say that to you, there is no reason not to open it 🤗.
And if it's Shinshu Kamerei, you can't go wrong: ‼️
You're right, I just went there 😅I'd love to go back!
Hi Jay & Nobby from Madrid😃.
Yes, I was going to save some more, but then I thought, what the heck, I opened it 😆.
I'm glad it was well received by the kids!
The exceptional taste is apparent the moment you put it in your mouth. It is numbered 578 out of 1940 bottles.
When you put it in your mouth, your tongue feels coated with the sake.
It's been a while since I've posted,
I have been drinking 🍶!
Tonight we had Shinshu Kamerei, which I haven't had in a while.
Delicious! I finished the four-pack in no time.
Tomorrow I'll be camping at 🏕️.
Plenty of sake. What shall we drink?
Good evening Jay & Nobby 😆.
We are drinking well 🎵
As delicious as it is 🐢, we are excited about what to drink now that the new sake season is here: ☺️
Start drinking at 11°c.
The sweet and sour aroma is wafting through the air.
It tastes sweet and sour and elegant.
It is not too sweet and not too spicy.
The taste makes you think that it is indeed Shinshu Kamerei.
Nagano Sake Shop Tour (2)
We left Hara Shoten and vowed to revisit next February-March, aiming for Sogape 🥹.
Then we decided to have soba noodles for lunch! And we talked about eating soba for lunch!
I remembered Maecin-san had eaten Soba in Ueda a while ago 🤔I checked out Sake-no-wa and decided to go to "Kusabue" ‼️
It was my first visit and it was very crowded during lunch time on weekends😳But checking out "Sake-no-wa" and observing the people waiting 👀 made the wait time seem short. I didn't realize that this would lead to later realizations...
When my turn came, I ordered a light Morisoba and Kurumi Soba with one assorted tempura! The soba arrived right away, but it was a lot of food😅.
After I thought I had eaten quite a bit, I unwrapped the soba that was lurking at the bottom and the amount came back and I added one more serving ♾️ loop ⁉️😳 and as a result, I was starving 😵!
After that, I was not going to go there, but I parked my car at Seven and took a walk to Okazaki-san to eat 😅I was confused because the entrance seemed to have changed 😅I got two bottles of Shinshu Kamerei here: ‼️
First I'm going to make love to you 🤗.
The aroma is gorgeous and fruity 😌.
I thought it was a classic when I took a sip, but then the sweetness came and it was a little sour 😋 It's very cost effective! I finished it with J&N's standard of sweetness but loose 😙.
to be continued
Jay & Nobby.
Good evening...I want to travel around Shinshu for Shinshu Kamerei and Sogape 😅I've never seen them before...💦I'm glad you were able to get 2 bottles 😊I want to go to Sake no Wa when I see your delicious looking restaurant repos.
Jay & Nobby 🩷Good trip report 🥰Get the green label 🟢, they didn't have it when we went to the warehouse 💪We have to get revenge 💪J&N standards of outstanding sweetness, maybe it will be great for us 💖Be sure to catch ❣️ sogape too!
Good evening, Jay & Nobby😄.
I think soba is not much in a restaurant, but here it's a big serving: ❣️
Nagano is the place to be 🐢🤩.
I am so jealous that you brought two of them with you! I want to drink 🍶.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😀.
I like your green 🐢sama 😇.
Actually, I have received various 🐢sama, but I have yet to meet a 🟢🐢sama, so I am very jealous 😀.
I hope to visit Ueda again when the timing is right 😀.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😸.
Next up is Shinshu Kamerei 🌞.
No. 4 at once, that's great 😊.
By the way, "Shinshu Soba" is great 😁.
Soba and sake...the best 🥳.
Jay & Nobby I went to Kusabue when I was in Ueda too😄It was crowded when I was there. It tastes good 😄and the green label! I've never had it but I can tell from your review that it's delicious.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃!
I'm so happy to have the green label, happy with the limited edition, happy with the cheap price, and happy with the taste of Shinshu Kamerei even if it's cheap after all 😉.
I wish I could go to Ueda again!
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Ueda is nice! I'd love to go back 😍I'm jealous of you getting 2 Shinshu Kamerei 😍I'm wondering what you noticed while you were waiting 🤔.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Showing off the kids we brought home: ☺️
I'm a true connoisseur of sake 😁.
I'd like to try this one someday 🤤 that you can't buy unless you go there.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Kusabue, your tempura and soba noodles look gorgeous and delicious 😋.
The "later realization..." is what drew me to this development. You are indeed Jay Writer and Editor-in-Chief Nobby ✨.
Hello, Jay & Nobby!
Nagano is famous for its delicious soba noodles 😋.
I remember the first time I had Togakushi Soba and I was shocked 🎵.
Again, you were the quintessential Sake-no-Wa information 😁.
The shrimp tempura stands up too 🤤.
Hi Kozou 😃.
If you go to Nagano you can get some Shinshu Kamerei 😊Sogape is only available at certain times of the year so the hurdle is higher 🤔Next year I'm going for sogape 🚙.
Hi Pekho 😃
I've been traveling mostly to liquor stores 🚙... well, it's always the same 😅You're right, green label might be just right 😋Sogapé get it! is now my big goal: ‼️
Hi HinaHanaMama 😃
I feel like I have a bottomless well of food 😅I can't eat anymore 😢 we both lamented 😩 Maybe it's just that we're at an age where we enjoy good food in an elegant way 🤗.
Hi Yasbay 😃
I was wondering if the green label is sold in regular supermarkets. I was so happy when I saw it at Mr. Okazaki's 😊I want to go there again and again 😃.
Hi Kano 😃
We're both 4 gouges 😅and at the same pace 😋.
Yes, I know! Soba and Sake 🍶 is the best combination 🍶 ‼️ and if it's in Shinshu, it's the best 🤗!
Hi ichiro18 😃
I can't miss Okazaki-san! I'm not talking about the big things I noticed 😅I didn't know there was such a coincidence! I hope you enjoy the sequel 👋.
Hi Hiro 😃
You're the hunter who knows the flow of J&N posts 😆.
You've caught the fishing points well 😄I'll try my best to get through the editor's check ✅ and win the post: ‼️
Hi ma-ki-😃
The style of eating soba was drilled into me when I lived in Nagano 😅Shinshu soba is delicious 😋 really! Sake-no-wa information ℹ️ is also helpful for food 🤗
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🦉.
Green 🐢, you are looking good out there👍✨.
Yes, when I go to Shinshu, I'm surprised at the amount of soba and tempura 😆 I would have screamed with joy when I was younger 🤣.
Good morning Jay & Nobby ☀🙋♂️❗
Walnut Soba at Kusabue is delicious, isn't it?
I once ordered a medium portion and regretted it. 🤣
Congratulations on getting Shinshu Kamerei!
Good evening, Morinin Kurisan 😃.
Nobby had the walnut soba noodles! I think I'm going to be very hungry for a medium portion😅.
It's great to be able to just drop by and buy some Shinshu Kamerei 🤗.
