Sake Brewery Walk, Ikoma City, Nara Prefecture
Ueda Sake Brewery (1)
The nearest station is Ichibu Station, one stop away from Kikuji Brewery, but it takes about 25 minutes to get there, so we took a walk. Ueda Shuzo brewery brews "Uresho" and "Ikucho" brands. We were allowed to taste the sake at the Hankyu Brewery Festival.
The entrance to the brewery is a bit confusing.
When you go inside on your own, you will find a spacious sales area, and a storekeeper who is a brewery employee will be in charge of tasting and selling the sake one-on-one.
Ikoma-Hozan Junmai Daiginjo
The first one they let me try was the Junmai Daiginjo, which was beautiful, rich, and delicious. It was beautiful, full-bodied, and delicious. It is made with 40% polished Yamadanishiki and is priced at 3,500 yen, which is very reasonable.
Ureshicho Unfiltered Junmai Nama-zake
I had tasted it before, and it is still slightly sweet and delicious.
Yamato's new sake, Shiboritate Nama-zake.
Thick, rich, sweet and delicious. Slightly gassy and acidic. A delicious sake with a lot of gravity.
Ureshicho Nigori Sake
It is quite creamy, thick and umami. I like it even though it seems to have sugar added.
I tasted too much here, so I will continue.
