Nara Pref. Ikoma City. Ueda Brewery Co.
Ureshicho Nigori Sake Limited Edition
We opened a bottle of nigori that we bought last year because we tasted it at the brewery and liked it, and also because it was a limited edition.
We enjoyed it cold.
About half of the bottle was already on the lees, so I shook it a lot without drinking the supernatant.
Even so, it didn't spew when I opened the bottle.
The color is cloudy, almost like drinking yogurt.
The top aroma is surprisingly mild, although I thought there might be a hint of koji (malted rice).
It has a smooth, fine, milky mouthfeel.
The hint of koji aroma softly escapes into the nose, and the taste is slightly robust with a sweet umami flavor.
After swallowing, there is a yogurt-like lactic acidity and a koji-derived riceiness, making it slightly sweet and easy to drink.
The aftertaste is a bit sharp.
With the addition of sugar and brewer's alcohol, it is well-prepared and has some amazake-like nuances.
When I went to the brewery to buy it, Ueda Sake Brewery registered me as a customer through a questionnaire, so when they made new sake or something, they called me and I refused to do that because of my fridge situation. Sorry 🙏.
Ingredients:Rice(domestic),Rice Koji(domestic),Brewing alcohol,Sugar

After beer at a farewell party at an izakaya (Japanese-style bar).
I did not expect much, but the fruity flavor and the delicious taste of rice can be felt gradually as you drink. It is not too sweet, so it goes well with food. I finished two 300ml bottles with conversation and chicken dishes.

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.
