I visited the store when I went to Zenkoji Temple: ☀️
As one would expect from a store located in one of Japan's most famous tourist attractions, the hospitality and pressure were incredible. There were about 5 tasting booths, each with a staff member in charge.
There were about 15 kinds of sake? There were about 15 kinds of sake, and you could sample not only sake, but also koji products, miso, and pickles!
However, it seems that they only have the regular sake all year round, not the limited edition ones. I would have rather had the one sold at the Shinshu Kurado in Nagano Station.
After tasting too many things, I bought two bottles of sake, a lemon sour made with sake (which is delicious😋 ), and miso.
In the end, I ended up with "Zenkoji," which seems to be the standard.
The color is quite yellow. It is also thick.
It has an apple-like aroma, a cemedine-like alcohol aroma, and a slightly sweet aroma.
It has a good flavor, but the aftertaste is dry with apple and lactic acid-like acidity.
It was not my favorite type to drink as it is, but it went well with foo chanpuru as a snack 😋.

Good evening Yuki 😃 We also stopped by when we visited Zenkoji temple in Nagano.
We also stopped by when we went to Zenkoji temple on our trip to Nagano 🤗It's true that the pressure is high 😅We were in a car so we couldn't taste the sake, but we only bought amazake as a souvenir. I think it would be better to buy it at a liquor store.

It's fine to go there with the intention of buying something, but the pressure is too much to just wander in 🤪.
But you can sample as much as you want until you're satisfied👍
