Today I left home early in the morning and climbed the outer rim of Mt. Asama, one of Japan's 100 most famous mountains, from Takamine Plateau on the border of Nagano and Gunma prefectures (Mt. Asama itself is off limits to visitors due to climbing regulations).
After descending the mountain, we took a hot spring bath at Nunobiki Onsen in Komoro City while viewing Mt. Asama, and then checked into a hotel in Saku-daira.
Well, as usual, the preamble is long, but for dinner in Sakuhira, we went to "Soba Dining Uenakaya" at the north exit of Sakuhira Station.
The restaurant was quite crowded due to the Bon holidays. Despite my Type O temperament, which does not like to wait in line, I did my best to wait 20 minutes to enter the restaurant, since I had come so far and did not know when I would be able to come back next.
First, I quenched my thirst with a draft beer, and then moved on to sake. I wanted to drink Asamatake in honor of the Mt. Asama trip, but they only had a bottle of No. 4, and it was too hard for me to drink alone.
Speaking of Izutsunaga, I was personally impressed by this sake when I first drank it at a buckwheat noodle shop in the town in front of the temple when I visited Zenkoji Temple in Nagano.
The appearance is slightly brownish.
The aroma is subdued, but when you take a sip, the mildly sweet, spicy, and well-balanced mellow flavor spreads in your mouth and is pleasantly pleasant.
It went well with duck nanban soba noodles and dashimaki tamago (rolled egg).

Hello, Kaikoma 😃.
After sweating 💦 by climbing up the mountain, we went to a hot spring ♨️ and had a beer 🍺 at a soba noodle restaurant and finished with sake 🍶.
A great way to spend the day early in the morning 🤗.
