Nara, Ikoma City. Ueda Brewery Co.
Ureshicho Yamato Shinshu Shiboritate Nama-shu
I went to the brewery and bought this one after hesitating between it and the unfiltered junmai namaeshu.
It is easy to drink because it is sweetened with sugar and other ingredients, but the alcohol content is 20%, so it is a sake that will give you a strong taste later.
I had it cold.
The color is clear and almost colorless.
The top aroma is sour, with a hint of grain vinegar and a slight sweetness at the back.
As soon as it is put out of the refrigerator, it has a thick, thick sweetness and a deep richness, and it is easy to drink. As the temperature rises, the sweetness and richness is complemented by a grain-like acidity, and the sake has a strong taste later on.
It is my favorite type of sake because of its robust flavor and richness, but this is the type of sake that will knock you over if you drink it all at once!
Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic), brewer's alcohol, sugar
Alcohol content: 20
It has a fruity aroma like lychee, and when you put it in your mouth, it is surprisingly very refreshing, with a subtle umami taste that comes afterwards.

Ueda Sake Brewery
Bodhi Hashiwase Junmai Ureshicho
I had tasted this one before and had the same impression. It has a slightly acidic Bodhi yeast flavor and a clear umami taste.
Bodai Hashiwase Junmai Ureshicho 5 years old sake limited edition.
It is a 5 years old sake and has a well matured aroma. It has a clear acidity of Bodai Hashiro and a thicker caramel-like flavor.
Ureshicho Junmai-shu, dewy leaf style, made with Yamanokami yeast.
The most refreshing and, in my opinion, a little loose and lacking. It has a slight sweetness.
Ureshicho Sake Brewery's Amazake
Made with only rice and rice malt, it contains no alcohol. It tastes like rice cake with a creamy texture.
Nigori (nigori) Harazake
It also has a ricey and creamy taste, but the aftertaste is dry and spicy.
There were many regular customers, and I thought this brewery had many repeat customers.
The nigori sake was priced in the 1200-1500 yen range for a 4-goupe bottle, and the junmai daiginjo was priced at around 3500 yen, which made me wonder how it could be so inexpensive. I wondered how it could be so cheap.
Good evening, Ponchan 🌛I would like to visit different breweries, but I will try my best to take the train & walk to sample the sake 😁The service and taste here was great👍.

Ueda Sake Brewery (1)
The nearest station is Ichibu Station, one stop away from Kikuji Brewery, but it takes about 25 minutes to get there, so we took a walk. Ueda Shuzo brewery brews "Uresho" and "Ikucho" brands. We were allowed to taste the sake at the Hankyu Brewery Festival.
The entrance to the brewery is a bit confusing.
When you go inside on your own, you will find a spacious sales area, and a storekeeper who is a brewery employee will be in charge of tasting and selling the sake one-on-one.
Ikoma-Hozan Junmai Daiginjo
The first one they let me try was the Junmai Daiginjo, which was beautiful, rich, and delicious. It was beautiful, full-bodied, and delicious. It is made with 40% polished Yamadanishiki and is priced at 3,500 yen, which is very reasonable.
Ureshicho Unfiltered Junmai Nama-zake
I had tasted it before, and it is still slightly sweet and delicious.
Yamato's new sake, Shiboritate Nama-zake.
Thick, rich, sweet and delicious. Slightly gassy and acidic. A delicious sake with a lot of gravity.
Ureshicho Nigori Sake
It is quite creamy, thick and umami. I like it even though it seems to have sugar added.
I tasted too much here, so I will continue.

Ueda Sake Brewery in Ikoma-Hozan.
It's a sake brewery located in Ikoma, Nara Prefecture.
Ureshicho may be my first time to drink it.
It is a rather dry sake with a refreshing taste.
Perhaps it is because it is unfiltered raw sake at 17%, but I got the impression that it was clean but without a strong flavor.
