I stopped in Ueda on my way home from a one-day trip to Zenkoji Temple✨.
We stopped at Shinshu Kamerei in Ueda to buy a bottle of their Junmai Ginjo, Yamae Nishiki, which is limited to the brewery. The Yamae Nishiki is not limited to the brewery, but I wasn't sure about the limited edition label, but each of us was able to purchase a bottle 😊.
Yamae-Nishiki is a sake brewing rice from Nagano, Japan.
The aroma was subtle right after opening the bottle, but by the second day it had a fruity apple-like aroma😃.
The mouthfeel was a bit mellow after drinking Tasake, but the full sweetness and umami spread out and it was very juicy! Then I got a sharp acidity and it was really good 😍.
I found only one distributor in the neighborhood, but if I go to Ueda area again, I would like to stop by and buy this brand again 😊.
Good evening, ichiro18!
It's wonderful👍and I'm jealous that you went to Nagano for a day trip and got 🐢‼️ I also want to drink it someday, but I can't seem to find it 😭I want to drink it even more after reading your review💕.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama 😃.
Thanks for the rice😊.
I only knew the name and the more I looked it up the more I learned it was a popular brand 😅I was thinking what if I went there and it wasn't there 🥺. I hope you come across it soon 😉.
Souvenir of my son
2300 yen / 720 ml
At a liquor store in Nagano city, he was told they would sell it to anyone who purchased more than 6000 yen and bought 4 bottles in total.
Tied sales💢.
Is it normal for a store like that?
I wouldn't buy it, but I'm glad he went that far to buy it.
The taste is sweet like fresh fruit and not alcoholic at all.
It's a bit melon-y, almost melon-like.
This is delicious.
I might buy it in a package 😜.
This is a limited edition sake made from 100% Yamae-Nishiki, Nagano Prefecture's original rice suitable for sake brewing.
It is slightly sweet, fresh, and pleasant!
Take your time...you will want to savor this sake for a blissful time.
The aroma is apple-like, typical of Nagano.
When you taste it, it has a pineapple-like sweetness with a hint of ripeness, but it is also beautiful. It is also very beautiful, but it also has a slightly mellow, umami flavor. The aftertaste is quite bitter. The bitterness alone is enough to kill the taste, and there is almost no spiciness.
It is a hard-to-find sake that was sold at a liquor store under very loose conditions, but I personally feel that the bitterness is a bit strong, and it doesn't sting that much. If it is a sweeter strain, I actually prefer it to be a little more obvious and sweeter.
I bought this yesterday!
It's so good! Sweet aroma and sweet flavor!
The slightest hint of chili gives way to alcohol and bitterness!
I don't like sake with alcohol, but this one is easy to drink without the unpleasant feeling of alcohol!
But it's not that the alcohol taste is weak, you can feel it, but it's balanced and in harmony with the umami!
It's a bit like Yamazan, but easier to drink than Yamazan and a bit more complex.
I like Nagano sake, but I think it has more complexity and depth than other Nagano sake.
It's not just easy to drink.
I'll stand in line to buy it again: ☺️
Shinshu Kamerei Hitogokochi
The color is transparent with small bubbles, and the aroma reminds one of peaches and apricots.
In the mouth, it has a slightly effervescent and apricot-like flavor.
It is very tasty on its own, but it is also very good as a food sake 😋.
I hit a home run over the fence at a grass baseball game today and my team won a big game, so I felt good, so I opened a nice sake. ☺️ It is fire-brewed, but fresh & fruity. It's fresh and fruity, with a faint apple aroma. It's quintessential deliciousness, but is there a strong bitterness? Does this mean it is still hard? I will observe the progress after tomorrow 🐢.
Good evening, Mitsuta24!
Congratulations on your home run and big win ⚾!
It's a great time to drink the wine of victory with 🐢 on such a happy day 🤤.
I'd like to drink it someday 🐢😋.
