Cup of sake 🍶.
Souvenir of my trip to Ueda, Nagano 😆.
Cold sake. Light, easy to drink. Easy to drink. Little umami. A little bitterness. Slightly bitter.
Purchased around Ueda station, I believe.
Since we are staying at Bessho Onsen, we had a sake from Ueda. It is super dry, or rather, it is as refreshing as water. It went well with the Nanbanzuke.
We compared three kinds of local sake at Ueda Bessho Onsen in Shinshu.
Among the three types of sake, it was the most light and dry, with a clean and refreshing taste.
28th brewery on a walking tour of temples, shrines, and sake breweries
The last brewery we visited today is Kutsukake Sake Brewery, which is well-known for its brand name "Mutou" 😀 It is about 4 km away from Wadaryu.
It is about 4 km away from Wadaryu, but the weather was nice and it was a nice walk 🚶.
It's fun to walk around in a completely new and unfamiliar place 😀.
I looked around at the store attached to the brewery, but all they had was the Fukumuyo brand, not Mutou at all 🤣.
When I asked the store owner, he told me that Mutou is a brand for distributors and the brewery only carries Fukumuryo 🤣‼️
I compared 4 types of Junmai Daiginjo, 2 types of Junmai Ginjo and Junmai, and I could tell that the other 3 tasted the same, but the Junmai Daiginjo tasted completely different and clear 😇.
I wondered what to take home, but I was told that one of the Junmai-Daiginjos is only available at the brewery, so I got that one 😀.
Hi Yasubeyesan 😃.
I'm so jealous of your sake brewery tour in Nagano, lots of walking and lots of tasting 🥰I'm looking forward to taking home a lot of things to open when I get home 🥂When you visit a brewery, you get familiar with their sake and it makes you feel special ❣️
Yasubeyesan, I was surprised that there are quite a few breweries in Ueda 😳and I'm very thankful for the road trip story as if I was there with you ☺️ ✨️ Please relieve your walking fatigue with a drink tonight 🤤💕💕!
Hi, HinaHanaMama 😀.
Yes, that's right 😇
I visited Ueda because I like Shinshu Kamerei in Ueda, but I like all the sake breweries in Ueda after visiting them 😀.
But some of the breweries don't have sales channels in Osaka, so it might be difficult to get them😅.
Hi Nao888!
Ueda is a fun town with 6 breweries, 4 of which have direct sales outlets, and a sake shop that only sells local sake from Shinshu 😇.
I can't tell you how good I am at writing 🤣.
I drank and requested Fukumuyo a long time ago. It was a gift from Nagano 😊.
Well, my impression of the drink was a bit different from what I imagined after reading the back of this one.
First, I drank it well chilled and made eye contact with my mom and said, "What is this? We both agreed that it tasted like the futon we got out of the closet at our grandma and grandpa's house at the beginning of the year. But we agreed. Mom said it tasted like shochu.
It was a little too sweet for our liking, and when we heated it up, the umami and sweetness increased and it became better. Sorry it's not the brewery's recommended way to drink 💦.
Each sip had a ning? Hmm? I was talking about my parents' house and laughing as I drank it and realized I had lost a lot 😌Thanks for the drink!
I opened the lid, took a sniff, and thought, "What's that? It smells good. ❗️ and the whole thing is clean with sweetness and umami with a spiciness in the second half 😊The closet feeling is gone. This is the taste of Nagano 😋 wonder😮.
Gold medal winner at the Delicious Sake in a Wineglass Awards 2023🍶.
No cloying taste and a moderate sweetness. Sake with a clean, slightly dry throat that leaves an elegant aftertaste ✨.
YOMOYAMA NAGANO in Osaka ㉗
59 brewing] booth.
This is a unit of five Nagano Prefecture sake brewery heirs who were born in 1984.
The person who greeted us was Yuya Muramatsu, the 6th generation toji of the Kakuguchi Shuzo Brewery of Hokko Masamune.
Hokko Masamune.
It has a modern taste with a light and refreshing mouthfeel. A little too light.
Sei Masamune
Another light and refreshing sake, with a slightly more robust umami and sweetness than Hokko Masamune.
Sekizen
This sake is made with apple flower yeast. It is fruity and sweet. I think I prefer it to the Sekizen apple flower yeast we drank today.
Honro no Matsu
Delicious sweet and sour. It is easy to drink, but the aftertaste is a little bitter.
FUKU MUGARI
It has a hard and refreshing taste.
I asked him, "Are you all close?" I asked him, "Yes. We are completely classmates, so we get along equally without hierarchy.
I didn't go to the booth of Fukumuyo, so I registered at Fukumuyo.
The next day in Ueda, I came across a brand I had never seen before at a local tavern 🙂.
According to the owner, it is a brand that has been drunk locally for a long time.
Now I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of sake it is😍!
It's a sweet and tasty sake with a hint of sweetness in the mouth followed by a hit of sourness.
I like the taste a lot ❕🥰.
I ordered it with horse sashimi, which also went well with the sake 😀.
I'm still looking forward to discovering new brands!
Of course I drank the Shinshu Kamerei next to it, but I bought it at Okazaki Sake Brewery, so I'll give you my impression later!
I'll be careful not to break it this time so that I can take it home with me 🤣.
★★★☆☆☆☆
Good evening, Morito Kuri 😃.
I've never heard of izakaya in Ueda 🏮! I've never heard of it before 😅I'm sure the Shinshu sake 🍶 level is high ‼️ and the horse sashimi to go with it makes it even better 😍I wish I could be there to drink and eat it!
Jay & Nobby Good evening 🌙😃❗❗
Basically, most of the bars in Ueda serve Nagano sake, but you'll find many brands you've never tried before, and the food is good too, so I recommend it 😀
Purchased at Hankyu Umeda Honten, 9th Traveling SAKE.
Kutsunokake Shuzo
Date of production 21.04
Shipment date 24.03
Rice polishing ratio 35
Alcohol content 17
We liked its firm umami without any impurities.
The apple-like sweetness is smooth and smooth on the tongue, and it is a beautifully sharp sake that does not feel like it has been soaked in alcohol.
It went well with bonito tataki.
I was glad to be able to compare the "Mutual" sakes that I had been curious about. All of them tasted like green apples and were delicious. The light nigorigo was delicious, but I preferred the hidden ball of Nagano R yeast 😋.
Good evening Rutemi 😃
I was so drunk that I forgot to tell the brewer that I was going to buy 300ml of this sake later because I couldn't fit 4 gos of it in the fridge 🤣 I didn't realize that it was a very matured sake 😳.
Hi Lutertemi 😀
I was at the Hankyu too, but unfortunately I couldn't taste or buy any sake as I attended a tasting and talk session by a Kyoto proprietress at the event 😅.
Good evening, Mr. Yasube.
I am so proud of you, Yasube, for having studied so much at the same event. I am interested in tasting and talking with the proprietress of Kyoto.
