The main purpose of my trip to Nagano during the holidays was to buy Shinshu Kamerei.
I heard that it is not so easy to buy it anymore, but I went to Ueda because I was sure I could buy some if I went to the brewery!
The only choices that day were this and Kinmonnishiki Junmai Daiginjo, both of which were limited to one bottle per person, so we bought one of each for the time being.
An acquaintance of mine who often goes to the area for work told me that even if you go there every other week, the items on sale are always changing.
Hmmm, I guess I'll have to keep coming back 🥹.
Now, what do you think of the taste?
It was recommended by an acquaintance of mine who likes sweet-juicy food, so I kind of had an idea of what it would taste like, but...
Sweet vanilla-like aroma and just a hint of banana.
Oooh, sweeter than I imagined! Strong! A little piquancy even though it's fire-roasted.
There is a slight sourness and a strong bitterness in the aftertaste.
It packs quite a punch! 👊
A little bit of sweetness, a little bit of umami, and a strong bitterness.
Good, but could use a little sweetness to blend in.
After 5 days, the sweetness rounds out, but the bitterness becomes more pronounced.
Definitely has a strong impact among the mostly dry Nagano sakes ✨.

Hi Yuki 😃
Okazaki-san is indispensable along the Nagano line 😆 and definitely delicious Shinshu Kamerei 🤩.
Nagano has a lot of good liquor stores, so I hope to make a regular expedition 🤗.

According to a friend of mine who goes to Nagano for work, Shinshu Kamerei is getting harder to find even at restaurants in Nagano city 😢Maybe you should go to the brewery while you still can?
