@Hanawanya I didn't visit the brewery, but this is from Osawa Sake Brewery in Saku🍶. I was told that they also use low-pesticide rice produced in Ueda. The aroma on the nose is slightly sweet. The first sip has a slightly sweet aroma with a hint of acidity and a mild sweetness. We enjoyed it with Ueda's specialty, yakitori with delicious sauce (not pictured) 🍶✨️

@Yakitori bancho, Ueda Ekinaka Branch It's tsukiyoshino's hiyaoroshi🍶🌙 The top aroma is sweet with a full-bodied flavor. The top aroma is sweet with a full-bodied flavor, and in the mouth it has a slightly complex flavor. I had it cold, but it would have been better to warm it up as the label on the back says. It was delicious though 🍶😉. The third and fourth pictures are of the main factory of Hioki Electric, located about 2km north of Wakabayashi Brewery. They are famous for their HIOKI brand testers, but unless you work in the electrical field, you might wonder what that is lol. I don't have much to do with it either😅

@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.

Jinpachi Ueda Branch This is Kanaryu from Shinshu Meikozo. Shinshu Meikozo is a brewery where three breweries jointly make sake, so there are many brands, said the owner of a nearby izakaya that mainly serves Nagano sake. The first aroma is sweet with a hint of mirin (sweet sake). In the mouth, it has a mild sweetness and umami without any cloying taste. It is quite a good sake. It was delicious 🍶✨️ The third one is the Shinshu Meisho brewery, about a 15-minute walk from Oya Station on the Shinano Railway Line. It is located by the Yoda River, a tributary of the Chikuma River. The fourth picture is the grave of Itagaki Nobukata, who was killed in the Battle of Uedabara. It says "shrine," but it looks like a shrine in the middle of a field. I came here to pay my respects because I was impressed by Shinichi Chiba's cool performance in the NHK historical drama "Fu-Rin-Kazan" 18 years ago. ⛩️

@Nezu no Jinpachi, Ueda The second drink in Nagano was Wada Ryutosui. The top aroma is softly sugary and sweet. In the mouth, it has a slightly dark sweet flavor typical of Nagano sake, but the aftertaste is light. It was delicious 🍶✨️ The third picture is of the Wadaryu Sake Brewery, located along the old Hokkoku Kaido Road, north of Ueda Castle. It is about a 20 minute walk from Ueda station. The fourth picture is the site of the Uedabara old battlefield where Shingen Takeda was defeated by Yoshikiyo Murakami. It is located on the south side of the Chikuma River about 2 km from Ueda Station.

From Monday to Friday this week, I traveled from Ueda in Nagano to Chikuma, Nagano, Suzaka, Obuse, and Nakano to visit breweries. The first cup in Nagano was a tasting at the Wakabayashi Brewery 🍶. The new Tsukiyoshi-no-Murasaki sake was sold out, so unfortunately it was a 6BY sake, but the Tsukiyoshi-no-Aka 🌙 was very good. The first aroma is slightly sweet. The top aroma is slightly sweet, and in the mouth it is dry with a hint of sweetness and umami. The Tsukiyoshi sake I have had so far is an unfiltered, raw sake with a strong sweetness, but compared to that, it is much more refreshing as it is claimed to be dry. But it is not too dry and is quite good dryness. It was delicious 🍶✨️ The third picture is of the Wakabayashi Brewery, located about a 2-minute walk from Nakano Station on the Ueda Dentetsu Bessho Line. They were working on bottling and when I asked the store owner about it, he told me that they were bottling fruit juice that day🧃. The fourth picture is a matsutake mushroom for grilling at a matsutake mushroom hut in Ueda. They were so... big... 🍄‍🟫

The last one is a comparison of Kinjaku Daiginjo (the two on the left) and Junmai Daiginjo (the two on the right): 🐦️ The top aroma is soft and sweet in both cases. By this point, I was too drunk to understand the subtle differences. In the mouth, the Daiginjo has a mildly sweet flavor with a clean finish. The Junmai Daiginjo is extremely mildly sweet and delicious. It is indeed a 40% polished Junmai Daiginjo. The Daiginjyo had a clean aftertaste, perhaps due to the fact that it was alkalooseted. You have to look at the label on the back of the bottle to see that it is aluzoe, though. It was delicious 🍶✨️

The fifth drink (two on the left) and sixth drink (two on the right) are a comparison of Kinjaku's autumn rise 2024 and 2025: 🐦️ The top aroma is sweet with a hint of acidity in both. Maybe it's because I'm drunk, but I don't notice much difference in the aroma. In the mouth, both have a mildly sweet flavor, but the 2024 has more depth and is tastier. If you have ever had Kinjaku, you would know that it has a light flavor while still having a good drinking experience, so even though it is an Aki-agari, you don't feel it is too heavy. It was delicious 🍶✨️

The fourth cup was Kinjaku's Lore Yamahai Zozo. The top aroma is slightly sweet. In the mouth, it has a mild sweetness with a hint of acidity. Compared to the other Kinjaku, this one had a richer flavor and the sweetness was the best. This Yamahai was highly rated among the participants at the drinking comparison event. It was delicious. ✨️🐦️

The third cup is Kinjaku's Secret Hidden Nama Hashiro. The first aroma is sweet with a hint of pineapple candy. In the mouth, there is a soft acidity from the sake yeast and sweetness from the pineapple candy. It has a rich and mellow taste as well as the Yamahai which we will drink next among the Kinjaku. It was delicious 🍶✨️

I know this is back to back, but the weekend before last, I participated in a Kinjaku 8-sake drinking contest 😊. We started with Kinjaku's only raw sake. The first aroma is slightly sweet. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel a slight gasiness. It has a slight sweetness and sourness like light pineapple candy. The balance between the refreshing sweetness and sourness is exquisite. I could understand why it is so popular. After drinking all 8 kinds of sake, I checked this one last time to make sure it was the best one 🍶✨️😊.

Yesterday I attended another Raku no sei meeting 😊. The sake at the meeting was the usual one so I will introduce the new Raku no se Yamahai Sake Mother Pressing lol I asked President Murase a lot about this sake and he told me that they decided to commercialize it because they were wondering what to do with the surplus sake mother 😂. He said that the sake mother used in the brewing process is only 10% alcohol when the yeast is at its most vigorous, and the sake sold here is fermented up to 15% alcohol. I had it cold 🍶. The aroma on the nose is of koji and acidity. Sharp lactic acidity on the palate. It comes with a sharp lactic acidity on the palate. It has a sweet and sour taste that is refreshing for a Raku no sei. The sake mother is supposed to be quite low in sake degree, but the sourness prevails and (for me) I don't feel any heaviness at all 😊. This time they only bottled the leftover mother of sake, so the sales quantity is small, but I heard the response was pretty good, so they will increase the amount next year 😊. I forgot to try it when I heated it up, but it would be fun to drink it on the rocks on a hot summer day. I also wonder what happens when it ages🤔. It was delicious 🍶✨️ The third picture is the sake of the meeting. The 4th picture is a drunken President Murase lol

90YELLOW💛 of Koshinohomare This is 90% polished new rice new sake. We got the bottom of the bottle🍶. It has a sweet aroma with a hint of acidity. The palate has a mild juicy sweetness with a hint of acidity. I often find the taste of low polished rice to be cloudy, but I have never had such a beautiful sake with 90% polished rice. With this, 90% polished rice is also welcome 😊. It was delicious 🍶✨️

It's shimofuri romance 🍶🥩. The first aroma is sweet with a slight freshness of new sake. In the mouth, it has a mildly mellow nigori flavor and sweetness with a slight tingling sensation. I wonder if the roughness of new sake remained six months ago, but on the contrary, it is not too heavy, which is my favorite 🥰. It was quite delicious 🍶✨️

This is Sake Mirai from Hanyo Otokoyama. It is our first time to visit this brewery. The initial aroma is softly sweet with a full-bodied flavor. In the mouth, it is moderately spicy with a hint of sweetness. It is very drinkable, and it would be interesting to warm it up. It was delicious 🍶✨️

It's Jyushiyo Jun Dai Banshu Yamadanishiki 🍶. The owner of my favorite restaurant has finally been approved by a famous liquor store in Yotsuya to buy it 🎉. The aroma is soft and sweet on the nose. It has a soft sweet aroma on the top and a mildly rich, sweet flavor in the mouth. Do you think Jyushiyo is mellower and tastier when it's unpasteurized than when it's freshly brewed? Maybe it depends on the grade 🤔. It was delicious 🍶✨️
