Shinshu Kamerei/Inakura Tanada Hitogokochi: Junmai Ginjo/Unfiltered unpasteurized sake
5.0
This is the first purchase in the same Nagano sake shop expedition. Shinshu Kamerei was the first sake purchased during the same Nagano sake shop trip.
We also visited a terraced rice field that we happened to pass by. We enjoyed the Okazaki Sake Brewery, the pride of Ueda, and the terraced rice paddies of Tanagura as much as we could. We also stayed at the Route Inn (originated in Ueda) and contributed to the economy of Ueda City in both food and sightseeing (laugh).
A brand that develops only locally? Terroir" is really important to value locally in this way. Ueda City is a really nice place.
Minerality as always, with a strong sense of gas as it was freshly made in March 2023. It also has a great lingering rice flavor. It is simply delicious at room temperature. It is a perfect food sake.
It does not have the impact to make you roar, but it is really well-balanced. If you remove the useless things from sake like a sculpture, you will end up with this sake.
The bottle design is also cool. I was able to use the bottle as a light bulb at the brewery's store. Happy to buy it.
