@kaku.uchi
On the third night of our trip to Nagano, we went to kaku.uchi, Ane-san's favorite standing bar.
It's a bar run by Hatoya Brewery 🕊️ in Nagano city.
First up was Toyoka from Okaya City near Suwa Lake.
I had it with cold sake 🍶.
The first aroma was mild and sweet, as if it had been aged in ice temperature.
The first sip has a mild sweet aroma that is typical of ice-aged sake.
This sake was delicious. ✨️
I need to visit sake breweries in Suwa and Kiso 🤔.
The third and fourth pictures are in shadow and hard to see, but they are the famous statue of Shingen Kenshin and his head mound at the site of the old battlefield of Kawanakajima.
Hi 😁
I see you went there! It must be a standing bar with good drinks. I also recommend Hatoya even though it is very far from the station.
Toyooka is the best sake!
Hello Miss 🌞.
I actually happened to go to kaku.uchi on Wednesday's part-time sister's day, and when I showed her Ane's post from 10/22, she said she knew who it was lol.

Sometimes local Toyooka
A little strong acidity, more crisp than sweet?
Is the color a little yellowish? Is it because of the lighting?
Sweetness comes later.
I'm a little strict about Toshimaya's sake because I'm a fan of Takaten, but it is a stable and delicious sake!
The word "strictly sealed" on the lid...
As the name suggests, this sake has a gaseous and robust flavor. Most sake with a gaseous taste has a mellow, fruity, gorgeous flavor, but since it is an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake, it is dry and refreshing.
Another delicious bottle of sake I've encountered.
The potential of Nagano Prefecture is immeasurable!

Highly aromatic! This was the first time I thought it was the best!
Is it getting more and more fragrant? Red dragonflies are amazing!
Okaya City, Nagano Prefecture Toyoshimaya
100% Nagano sake rice, 59% polished rice.
The sake is unfiltered and unpasteurized at 16% alcohol by volume.
There is a slight effervescence when the bottle is opened.
The acidity is strong, and at first there is an impression of bitterness, but when you drink it, the sweetness and umami come in easily later.
Personally, I felt more sweetness and umami on the second day after opening.
Drinking at home
Kuboyama Sake Shop
I kept it chilled in the fridge, but it took some time to cool down!
The word of mouth is that it is fruity, but it was not as I expected due to the strong sake taste.
I would like to try a fresh one next time.
However, if you think it is a classic, it might be good to have a little bit of fruity taste!
