We are here in Ueda, Shinshu for stocking up 🍶.
I'll leave the so called No.1 brand for the first day.
I went to Bessho Onsen on a trip to google famous local sake breweries,
It was a stylish restaurant run by a madam who moved here from Kyoto.
The server tasting was fun 😀.
The server tasting was fun 😀.
And then, I went to the first one I've ever met, Kita-Alps Sake Shop,
I tried for the first time a local sake from the foothills of the North Alps!
Sweet, tasty, rich, high alcohol, all elements attacked with all their might, it was a very high-tension sake!
And the price was surprisingly lowlowlow!
I can't write about it here.
Only in the usual Kamiyamada Hotel room💦.
Shinshu regular sake trip is psycho😍.
Good morning, Asanami!
Shinshu regular sake trip - looks like fun 🎵That looks delicious and good 🤤.
Nagano sake this time is high tension - good sake is really great 😋.
Have fun 🤗
Good morning, ma-ki!
We are starting our activities from early this morning 😁.
Another new discovery 💡Shinshu 🍶 Sake trip!
The situation is getting better every time 🌟.
Please visit Ueda, Togura and Tomi!
Good morning, Asanami 😃.
Shinshu stocking 🍶 trip! It looks like you'll have fun and make great new discoveries no matter how many times you go 🤗Maybe I'll take a weekday off and go there for the first time in a while: ‼️
Hi Jay & Nobby!
Ueda area in Nagano is not so much affected by inbound tourism, so you can enjoy a relaxing and quiet tour even on weekends 😄 Except for sake 🍶, Umino Inn, Mugonkan and Komoro Kaiko-en were new discovery spots for us!
Sake from Omachi City, Nagano Prefecture
Rice: Hitogokochi produced in Nagano Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio: 59

The flavor is so good that you can't stop drinking it when it is heated to 🍶.
［Beian Daikoku Special_4/5]
Great Anglo-American War (Sweden vs. Russia, Poland, Denmark, Sri Lanka, etc.)
Sweet apple aroma. Light. Slightly sweet, fruity acidity, apple-like. It is easy to drink due to its slightly low alcohol content of 14 degrees. Delicious.
It was very hot on the day of drinking, but now that it is cooler, it tastes good warmed up again.
We bought this sake at the Omachi drinking event on 9/6. This sake seems to have sold well. Delicious.
By the way, we were also able to taste Iyari, which is also a pure rice sake, but it is said to be made by changing something (ambiguous). They are totally different in taste and both were delicious.

Hokuan Okuni Autumn Sake Junmai Ginjo-shu 720ml
Rice variety/production area Hitogokochi/Nagano
Rice polishing ratio 55
Alcohol content 15
It has become cooler at once.
We bought some autumn fish, which means it's time for autumn sake.
It has matured quite well. The color is a little amber, and the savory taste is also very autumnal.
By the way, I suddenly decided to go to Oku-Nikko this weekend. It is a bit far, so I think I will stay overnight in Ueda. I am wondering whether I should stop by at the Kitayasu Okuni brewery in Omachi or at the Tamamura Honten store in Shibu Onsen (hot spring).
Hokian Okuni Autumn Sake Junmai Ginjo
Rating 4.4-4.5
Rice: Hitogokochi/Nagano, Polishing ratio 55%, Yeast: Association No. 701, Alcohol 15%, Sake degree/Acidity -5/-1.8, Amino acidity 0.9
This is an autumn sake that has gained roundness and flavor with aging. While it is very drinkable, the moderate astringency and acidity give it a nice crispness. It does not feel heavy. Mild aroma.
Sake from Omachi City, Nagano Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio: 55

We are always thinking about how we can help make people happy.
🍶It is good at room temperature 🍁.

Sake from Omachi City, Nagano Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio: 55

Sake specially brewed to be easy to drink during the hot summer months, with an acidity reminiscent of lemon.
🍶Served in a refreshing 🍋.

［Beian Daigoku Special_2/5]
Sake from Omachi City, Nagano Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio: 55
Alcohol content: 14%.
Sake degree: -13
Acidity: 3.2
This sake is brewed with Nagano R yeast, which produces a lot of refreshing malic acid. Enjoy the harmony of sweetness like freshly picked green apples and refreshing acidity."
🍶While the Sake level is not aggressive enough for daily drinking, it is different from what I expected in a good way, probably due to the acidity. Light. I guess you can't tell until you actually try it. The label seems to call for happiness, and naturally makes you feel happy 🌸.

Hokuyasu Okuni Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Unrefined Genshu Next Batter
Rating 4.4
Rice polishing ratio 55%, alcohol 15%.
A perfect balance of sweetness and acidity with a tropical aroma and a square flavor. A soft touch of lemonade-like flavor from the maturation in the snow storage tank. Juicy. Sake store project!
Purchased at a liquor store in Shinano-Omachi after a traverse of the Goratateyama mountain range.
It is rich, sweet and delicious, but the 19% alcohol content is destructive. I needed a chaser.
Clean, sweet taste. Aroma: fragrant and sweet, with a hint of sourness. A little sourness. Delicious with a refined taste. Even though I have been drinking it for a long time, I still love the rich, sweet, and easy-to-understand taste of Kitayasu Brewery.
The 15th North Alps Yumi-Walk 9/6 13:00-18:00
By 5:00 p.m., customers are ready and the place is fun.
Beian Daigoku Autumn Sake Junmai Ginjo
Rating 4.4
Rice type/production area: Hitogokochi/Nagano, Rice polishing ratio 55%, Yeast: A.K.A. 701, Alcohol 15%, Sake degree -5/-1.8, Amino acid 0.9
This is an autumn sake that has gained roundness and umami with aging. While it is very drinkable, the moderate astringency and acidity give it a crispness that does not make it heavy. The mild aroma does not interfere with food, and it can be served at a wide range of temperatures, chilled when the lingering summer heat is still intense, or heated as autumn deepens. The aroma is slightly mellow and pear-like.
At a bar I was curious about.
I told them what kind of sake I liked.
and they brought some selections for me,
You can decide after tasting them.
This is the one I ordered fruity and they brought it.
I had R yeast the other day with another sake from Nagano.
It is quite sour, fresh, and delicious.
Beian Daikoku has a lot of sweet drinks.
I used to avoid them, but recently I often pick them up.
But recently, however, I often pick up a bottle.
I guess I've learned that they make sweet but tasty sake.
I often see sake stored in the snow, but this one looks delicious. I was drawn in by the words "sold by a distributor," and bought it.
It was sweet, but delicious. It is very good for the body after a long day's play.
I was soaked to the skin after a long day's play.
