Gorgeous, fruity aroma. Melon-like.
Slightly thick and firm on the palate.
It has a strong sweetness, but it is not dull.
The balance between acidity and umami is excellent.
The moderate bitterness finishes with a nice feeling.

We visited the brewery during our trip to Nagano at the beginning of November.

Unfortunately, this sake was also really good!

I am tired.
I was not going to go to Nagano this week, but I thought Sensei was coming, so I reserved a restaurant for the year-end party and the invitation arrived on Thursday night.
I had no choice but to go on my own," said one of my colleagues around me.
No, I don't have time for that. After some adjustments, I'll be in Nagano from the 23rd to the 25th 😞 It's going to be cold.
My stomach is churning because I'm afraid I might not be able to fly to Hokkaido from tomorrow. Stomach acid overload is better when I throw up.
Now, what will heal my wrecked stomach is a sweet sake. It is Shinshu Kamerei, which I let sit for a while. It's clear and sweet and deliciously pichichi even when it's sitting on the table. It was more delicious than the last time I drank it at the store, probably because it had just been opened. It went in soooo smoothly.
I am going to a conference in Hokkaido where there is an earthquake and heavy snowfall. I am worried that the promotion of a certain company will have the opposite effect. Although we are a rival company.
Good evening, Ane-san. It looks like you are very busy at the end of the year. Let's get through to the New Year's Eve while being healed by 🐢 and take care of yourselves 💪.
Good evening, Ane 😃.
It looks like you are very busy at the end of the year.... Please take care of yourself and don't overdo it. 🙂↕️ And be careful not to drink too much of good alcohol. ⚠️
Good morning, bouken😁.
My company has a very strict security policy, so I have to put a sticker on my camera when I enter. Here is the sticker. When you leave, you have to put your luggage through an x-ray 🩻.
Good morning, Peco 🌷
Maybe it's because the end of the year starts a little earlier this year. I'll do my best not to collapse because I want to drink during the year-end and New Year's holidays 💪.
Good morning, ichiro18 😄.
Thank you very much.
Work is like that, but I'm the type of person who can't be flexible when unexpected things happen, so I have a bit of a hard time 😅.
We received Hitogokochi, a junmai sake from Shinshu Kamerei.
This was the first Junmai-shu of my favorite Shinshu Kamerei.
I was looking forward to seeing what it would be like, but it turned out to be a true Shinshu Kamerei. It is a matter of course, but I had the impression that it was different from the junmai ginjos and junmai daiginjos that I have had in the past.
Rather, it has a stronger Shinshu Kamerei-like flavor, and I even like this one better.
The clear mouthfeel is the same as usual, but the flavor is a little stronger and more satisfying than the usual delicate and thin taste. The rice used for the premium rice is 70% polished rice, so perhaps the flavor of the rice is more pronounced than usual.
The price is about three-fourths of the usual junmai ginjo.
I would be very happy if I could buy such sake anytime.
It was hard to get my hands on this sake because of the one bottle per person restriction. This time, I went with the intention of buying a large quantity, so I got both types.
Surprisingly, I got the impression that it was more stable and tasty than Hitogokochi. It was wonderful, with little change over time, maintaining a soft umami sweetness to the very end. If I have a chance to visit Okazaki Sake Brewery again, I would like to buy it.
Yum😋
Thanks, Matsuchiyosan series ✨✨.
Until yesterday
It was nice and calm...
-7℃😱💔💔.
I was in Aomori for a review meeting.
It was blizzard and slippery 😑💔💔💔.
And my partner who was supposed to go with me
I was supposed to go with my partner, but he had to take a mandatory day off 🎌... so I went to the meeting alone 😭💔💔.
And while I was having lunch with it...
Alarm again ⏰🚨.
I'm on the 7th floor so it shook a lot 😭 scary!
Anyway, on the way home too.
Slipping and spinning around next to the car 🚗 with a sideways glance 😒.
I got home safe and sound😭
At work
This is the last 👍
Now I'm just waiting for the end of the year to come.
while drinking sake 🍶 that I've accumulated
waiting 😍🍶✨✨.
Thank you, Matsuchiyosan!
Shinshu Kamerei, a limited edition sake from the brewery 🍶.
Yum 🤣👍✨✨
I'm sorry you had a hard time 💦.
I'm glad you made it home safely🍀.
I hope you'll be spending your time until the end of the year with a big release of sake 😋.
I want to drink 🐢🤤.
The first Shinshu Kamerei? It's light nigori.
Not related to sake, but couldn't you do something about the rotten girl-like names "Hana-buki BL" and "Hana-asou BL" 😅.
chika, I am so relieved to know that you are safe 🙏 still scary 😰.
The snow is also amazing😱 please be careful 🚗.
Have a premium drink and stay warm 😊.
I bought it at the brewery and let it sit for a year and a half. The aroma is mild, but the taste is good, not to mention the cleanliness, and it is delicious, highly recommended.
Shinshu Kamerei Junmai Hitogokochi Hi-ire
Rating 4.5
Alcohol 15%.
Ingredients Rice, Rice malted rice
Rice used: 100% Hitogochi from Nagano Prefecture, Polishing ratio: Koji rice: 55%, Kake rice: 70%.
It has a subtle aroma and a light taste suitable for a mid-meal drink. After a few hours, it becomes a little stale. Delicious.
Shinshu Kamerei is the second bottle I've had at home ✨.
The aroma is mild, with a hint of chili gas. The nose has a melon juicy sweet flavor, followed by a sourness that gradually fades into an astringency. It has a freshness from being a fresh sake.
On the second day, the juiciness increases. It is astringent but easy to drink and delicious 🥰.
Good evening, Afio 😃.
I've only seen the lottery at liquor stores, and on sake street it's first come first served, but it's far away😅If you want to be sure of getting it, you have to go to Okazaki Sake Brewery 🤣I'm pretty sure they sell Kinkame at the direct sale place now?

I finally bought a refrigerator dedicated to sake. ......
It is an OSK-20 by Sakura Seisakusho!
Today, in celebration of this personal anniversary, I opened a bottle of unfiltered, unfiltered, unblended sake from Shinshu Kamerei!
It is beautifully balanced with a roughness that is typical of unfiltered nama sake.
The crisp bitterness from the apple and muscat-like fruitiness makes it easy to drink endlessly.
Shinshu Kamerei is a well-known sake.
The sake is brewed with different rice depending on the season, and the taste is also completely different, which is why it is so intriguing. The aroma is gorgeous and tasty, but the slight acidity seems to throw it off balance.
I prefer the Yamae-Nishiki sake rice.
