@Shinshu Nagaya Bar It's Shigaizumi's regular sake 🍶. Slightly sweet aroma on the nose. Good sweetness and slight acidity in the mouth. Delicious with pickled red turnip 😊. The third and fourth pictures show the Shigaizumi brewery, about a 10-minute walk from Nakano Matsukawa Station on the Nagano Electric Railway Nagano Line. At the factory in the back, they were bringing in sake rice.

@Shinshu Nagaya Bar Katsura Masamune from Sake Sen Kurano, famous for Kawanakajima Genmai. We had it at room temperature 🍶. Sweet aroma with a hint of acidity. The palate has a light sweetness with a hint of acidity. As usual, there are no photos of the food, but we enjoyed it with Kiso's famous pickles, "Sunki". ✨️ It was like a refreshing version of the same lactobacillus fermented takana pickles. Nice pickles👍️✨️ The third one is the old storehouse of Sake Senkurano, located about 5 minutes walk from Imai station of JR Shinonoi line. This is Mr. Chino's parents' house. The fourth picture is the new brewery directly across the street from the old one. According to the master of the restaurant where we usually go, the previous generation built it quite over-spec. The face does not look like a storehouse.

@Shinshu Nagaya Bar Shinshu Nagaya Sake Shop has changed. The sake was Wakaroku Honjozo from Imai Sake Brewery. It was served at room temperature. The aroma is soft and sweet. The palate has a classic mouthfeel with a slight acidity and a slightly sweet taste. It has a clean aftertaste, as is typical of aluzoe. It was delicious. ✨️ The third picture is the sake menu of Shinshu Nagaya Sake Bar 🍶. Except for the new breweries (Yamazan and Iraka) that their suppliers don't carry, they have some kind of Shinshu sake on the menu. It was the perfect place for the otaku who likes to tour breweries and drink their sake 🤓. The fourth picture is of the Imai Sake Brewery, about a 7-minute walk from the Nagano Dentetsu Nagano Line Fukutsu Chugakubu Mae station.

@Tempura and Sushi 18 tsubo On our last night in Nagano, we first had a little drink at Tempura and Sushi 18tsubo in front of Nagano Station. Nama-zushi in the Hokushin style 🍶. The first aroma is slightly sweet. When you put it in your mouth, it has a slight acidity and a refreshing sweetness. It has a mouthfeel like the pure water of Shinshu. It was quite delicious 🍶✨️ The third picture is of Matsubaya's main brewery. It is about a 5 minute walk from Obuse station on the Nagano Electric Railway Nagano line. The fourth one is Assoivni Kiichi aka Kobayashi Kiichi Shoten, which is also about a 5 minute walk from Obuse Station and has been a great help in many ways. There was an Obuse Winery chabutai and a lot of Merlot on display 🍷.

@kaku.uchi kaku.uchi's last sake is Seki. It is made by Osawa Sake Brewery in Saku. The energetic ladies who came after us bought this one for everyone. Hot sake because it is a sake yeast yeast yeast. The aroma is fragrant with a hint of acidity. It has a nice sweetness with a hint of acidity in the mouth. I tasted some at room temperature, but the warming made it even more crisp and refreshing. It was delicious 🍶✨️ The third picture is the Keinosuke Miyairi Memorial Museum near the site of the old battlefield of Kawanakajima. As you may know if you are a fanatic who goes to the Meguro Parasite Museum, he is famous for discovering the mussel, the intermediate host of the Japanese blood sucking parasite. It says that you have to call to enter the museum, which is a bit troublesome 😅 I didn't go through it. For more information, please see the Wikipedia page on "Local Diseases". Wikipedia It is a blockbuster work that has been described as one of the three great works of literature lol.

@kaku.uchi It's a new sake arabashiri from Kamito 🍶. The aroma is fresh and slightly sweet. Fresh and refreshing sweetness with a hint of umami in the mouth. It was very easy to drink with almost no roughness. It was delicious 🍶✨️ By the way, the store owner behind the sake is the part-time lady who asked Ane-san, "Are you in Nagano for a drink?" I asked her 😉. The third picture is the ruins of Matsudai Castle in Matsudai-cho, Nagano. Originally called "Kaizu Castle", Shingen Takeda had Kansuke Yamamoto build this castle to prepare for Kenshin Uesugi. The fourth picture is the snow-capped Hakuba mountain range seen from the bank of the Chikuma River. 🏔️

When you put it in your mouth, it has a clear sweetness with a hint of acidity and umami. It is very drinkable. It was delicious 🍶✨️ The third and fourth pictures are of the Matsudai Seismological Observatory of the Japan Meteorological Agency.

@kaku.uchi I didn't order Shinshu Kamerei because it was either sold out at the bar in Ueda or they only had it with a minimum of 2,000 yen per sake. In Ueda, only stores serve only 1 gou or less, so I had a hard time because I want to drink various kinds of sake but I'm not a strong drinker😅. I was glad to know that most of the bars in Nagano City served from half a gou or more 😅. I guess it's a matter of quality control when you see the number of customers on a weekday in Ueda... I had it cold 🍶. The first aroma is enchanting and sweet. When you put it in your mouth, there is a hint of acidity and elegant sweetness. It tastes like a daiginjo. It was delicious 🐢✨️ The third picture is the brewery of Shinshu Kamerei located in Yanagi-cho on the old Hokkoku Kaido Road. The brewery currently produces about 500 koku of sake. The fourth picture is a limited new sake light nigori from the brewery 🐢. We stayed two nights in Ueda, so we were able to buy three bottles 😏.

@kaku.uchi This is Mizuo Hiyoroshi from Iiyama city. We had it cold 🍶. The first aroma is softly fruity and sweet. It has a light sweetness and a mild umami with a hint of richness in the mouth. Although it is a hiyaoroshi, it is quite delicious with a refreshing aftertaste 🍶✨️ The third and fourth pictures show the grave site of Nobuyuki Sanada, located across the Chikuma River from the site of the old battlefield of Kawanakajima. In the 2016 NHK Taiga Drama Sanadamaru, Hiroshi Oizumi played him aloof. It is located in Daibononji Temple, which was built on the site of the mansion where Nobuyuki Sanada lived after his retirement, but there is also a mausoleum at Sanadasan Chokokuji Temple, a family temple of the Sanada family near Matsudai Castle, so the official grave is believed to be there.

@kaku.uchi Kame-no-umi's secret sake 🍶. If someone told me it was a secret sake only available here, I'd drink it, wouldn't I? The first aroma is mildly fruity and sweet. It has a mildly fruity sweet aroma on the nose and a mildly fruity sweet flavor in the mouth that is typical of ice-aged sake. It was quite delicious 🐢✨️ The second and third pictures show the grave of Kansuke Yamamoto, a military commander of Shingen Takeda, located on the opposite bank of the Chikuma River from the site of the old battlefield of Kawanakajima. In the NHK historical drama "Fu-Rin-Kazan," Seiyo Uchino played the role of a muddy warrior. I liked that drama, but since the role of Shingen Takeda is played by Ennosuke, I doubt it will be replayed for a while 🤔.

@kaku.uchi On the third night of our trip to Nagano, we went to kaku.uchi, Ane-san's favorite standing bar. It's a bar run by Hatoya Brewery 🕊️ in Nagano city. First up was Toyoka from Okaya City near Suwa Lake. I had it with cold sake 🍶. The first aroma was mild and sweet, as if it had been aged in ice temperature. The first sip has a mild sweet aroma that is typical of ice-aged sake. This sake was delicious. ✨️ I need to visit sake breweries in Suwa and Kiso 🤔. The third and fourth pictures are in shadow and hard to see, but they are the famous statue of Shingen Kenshin and his head mound at the site of the old battlefield of Kawanakajima.

@Hayato Masamune hunters go today🍶 (roundup) This is Obaste Masamune Junmai sake. I had it cold sake. The first aroma is softly sweet. In the mouth, it has a subtle sweetness with no cloying taste. It is a junmai sake, but it is a delicious regular sake that can be drunk smoothly. Nice Masamune 👍️ The third picture is a view of Zenkojidaira taken from the platform of the JR Shinonoi Line's Yabasute Station, which is located at 551 meters above sea level and is famous for its switchbacks for those who ride trains. The fourth photo is of Nagano Meijo along the Zenkoji Highway. The brewery is all junmai (pure rice) and currently produces about 200 koku of sake. To tell the truth, Nagano Meijo is located far away from other breweries in the area, so I was thinking of going there on the last day if I had time 😅. According to Google Maps, I took a rental bike from the JR Shinonoi Line's Yasuyasute Station (elevation 550m), rode up the mountain a bit (highest point 595m), down the mountain road that runs behind the Nagano Expressway to Nagano Meihin brewery (elevation 465m), and went down like a roller coaster to the Shinano Railway's Yashiro Station (elevation 361m) and came back! I was so happy to be back!

One of the students in the same grade who was standing in line at the counter told me that this sake is the evening drink of this area 😊.

@Nezu no Jinpachi, Ueda Branch This is Sekizen's Cosmos Hiyoroshi🌸. Sake made with cosmos flower yeast 🍶. It looks like it's from a brewery or agricultural university🫜. The top aroma is sweet with a hint of banana. I was relieved because I had the impression that cosmos doesn't have such a nice aroma. When you put it in your mouth, it has a slight sweetness and mild umami. It was refreshing for a hiyaoroshi. It was delicious 🌸🍶✨️ The third picture is of the Nishi-Iida Sake Brewery, located about 5 minutes by cab from Kawanakajima Station on the JR Shinonoi Line. They currently make about 400 koku of sake. Even from Nagano station it was only about 5 km away, so I took a rental bike (electric assist) at the station and made the round trip in a little over an hour, light. The fourth picture shows the flow of the Saigawa River that runs by the brewery. Upstream of the Saigawa River are the Azusa River flowing from Kamikochi and the Takase River flowing through Azekino. It means that the water is the same with Oshinshu and Iraka (Japanese tile roof) 🙄. Incidentally, the Saigawa River merges with the Chikuma River, and when it enters Niigata Prefecture, it changes its name to the Shinano River and empties into the Sea of Japan.
