Shinshu Kamerei Hexagon.
The next bottle to be uncorked is Shinshu Kamerei Hexagon.
The golden tortoiseshell label is a perfect match for New Year's Day.
It is brewed with up to 39% Yamada-Nishiki from Hyogo Prefecture.
It has a fruity, mild heady aroma, a clear taste, and the full sweetness of Yamadanishiki is brought out to the fullest. The full-bodied umami and elegant acidity are superbly balanced!
A relative recommended this bottle for New Year's Day at the brewery 😍.
I shouted with joy 🤣.
I was so excited 🥂 and toasted it! Yes, delicious 🤤!
Shinshu Kamerei is beautiful 🥰!
All I can say is "yummy" 💕!
Unknown where purchased
Happy New Year 🎉!
This time I checked in with this sake that I finished drinking on New Year's Eve ✅.
Shinshu Kamerei Mari label!
And since it's 2024, it's the Year of the Dragon label!
I can no longer say that I missed the opening of the bottle...
I can't even remember where I bought it anymore!
I think it might be the longest record even though I kept it refrigerated 🤔.
By the way, I couldn't buy 2025 😞.
I was rather afraid to open the bottle 🍶 because I was worried about the taste.
But it's still delicious 😋.
When I drank it, I thought "what? but the fruity taste is still there as always 😊.
The balance of sweetness and refreshing taste is very delicious! I think I like Shinshu Kamerei's Yamae Nishiki the best.
But...drink sake as soon as you buy it!
Especially if it's unfiltered unpasteurized sake!
Thank you very much for the sake!
I bought this sake on a trip to Nagano last August. It was too good to drink right away, so I kept it in the refrigerator until today. I drank the second bottle today and it was fresh, fruity, easy to drink and delicious. 2300 yen
The bottle for New Year's Day 2026 is a Junmai Daiginjyo Kinmon-nishiki, a.k.a. "Kingame" from Shinshu Kamerei.
I had not been able to open the bottle because it was one of the bottles I had purchased on a memorable trip to Nagano Prefecture in mid-summer, but the name and label were auspicious, so I opened the bottle just in time.
When I poured it into a glass, the aroma was more gorgeous than the usual Junmai Ginjo series.
When I drank it, I found it to be elegant and gorgeous, with a fruity and sweet taste, while maintaining the transparency typical of Shinshu Kamerei.
Junmai Ginjo Kinmon-Nishiki, which is made from the same sake rice, also has an accentuated sweetness, but it has a richer atmosphere that takes it to the next level.
The fact that the sake is still fresh even though it has been fire-aged for 10 months is a testament to the high quality of the brewing and fire-aging techniques. The sub-zero storage at Lemacombe may have also been a good thing.
I am looking forward to drinking Hexagon, which is also stored in Lemakom.

[Lingering].
Medium length. The acidity is the core of the lingering aftertaste, which is very clean.
Impression] Modern, aromatic, and light.
Kamerei is located near my parents' house. This year, too, I went to the brewery and got it. This year it is Miyamanishiki.
The aroma is gentle and fruity. The taste is pleasant without any peculiarities or cloying flavors.
It is not too flashy and has a very good balance of aroma, acidity, and sharpness. It is best served cold, but it is also very suitable as a food sake. Even those who are not good at sake will be charmed by this sake.
Pairing
White fish sashimi, grilled fish, tempura, cold vegetables, soba noodles

At the usual bar.
This is the fourth bottle of sake at the year-end sake festival.
As usual, it is clear and tasty, and can be drunk without hesitation.
It tastes mellow and gentle.
It's amazing that it's junmai (pure rice).
New Year's party at the family home next door
and
Birthday party for mother's 77th birthday
Since it was a celebration, we opened a bottle of Shinshu Kamerei that we bought at the brewery. My nephew, who is a college student, said it was delicious and drank it, but he fell asleep on the way.
I ate cake after New Year's. Something is doubled.
Even on the third day of the month, my wake-up time is after 5:00 a.m. (laughs).
Since it is the third day of the month, I would like to make it an early morning drinking activity.
My horoscope for this year says "morning activity is good luck.
The bottle opens at 6:30.
Finally, finally - finally - I will have a bottle of Shinshu Kamerei! Of course, this is my first time.
A reminiscent scene. It was last December.
A friend of mine moved to Nagano Prefecture. He is also a sake lover.
On line, I casually asked him, "Is Shinshu Kamerei normal in Nagano?" I asked him.
He later replied, "I went to the brewery and got it.
Wow!
So I got it at the end of the year when I went back home. Sorry for the weight.
When I asked him if the brewery was close, he replied, "It took about two hours by car.
Wow...4 hours round trip...! Four hours round trip.... Thank you very much!
Finally, I will eat it!
From the moment you turn the lid, it is melon!
Smooth when you include it. It's gorgeous and sweet! It's like juicy fruit juice. The aftertaste is clean. Well, it's delicious! Or rather, it is luxurious.
The golden tortoise was said to be "an auspicious thing that brings long life, money, fortune, good luck, and good fortune." by Google AI.
Thank you my friend. I wish I could go to Nagano this summer!
