Turtle Sea's treasured sake If someone told me it was a secret sake only available here, I would 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 🤔.

Nice to meet you! Nice! I would love to visit there someday as I am a history buff too. I loved FURIN KAZAN! Personally, I liked Tatsuya Nakadai's performance! I loved it! I'm jealous of your precious sake✨

The third night of the Nagano trip was spent at Ane-san's favorite standing bar, kaku.uchi. It is a bar run by Hattoya Sake Shop 🕊️ 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.

Hi 😁 I see you went there! It must be a standing bar with good drinks. I also recommend Hatoya even though it is very far from the station. Toyooka is the best sake!

@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!

@Hayato This is also a regular sake Kikumori. We had it at room temperature 🍶. The top aroma is slightly sweet. When you put it in your mouth, it has a light and clear sweetness. It is also slightly sweet and tastes like delicious water. It was delicious. ✨️ The third picture is a signboard of "Kuruma Tengu", a car loan program of Nagano Rokin Maruko branch, which is located on the opposite side of the road from the brewery of Shinshu Meisou.

@Hayato We didn't go to the brewery either, but there was a regular Nanasho sake that we had never had before, so we ordered it. I had it at room temperature 🍶. The top aroma was slightly sweet. When you put it in your mouth, you can taste a slight, light sweetness. 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 😊. I guess you could say it's like slightly sweet and tasty water. It was quite tasty. ✨️

@Hayato 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) 🍶✨️

It is hiyaoroshi from Tsukiyoshino 🌙. The top aroma is sweet with a full-bodied flavor. It has a slightly robust sweet flavor with a hint of complexity on the palate. I had it cold, but it would have been better heated 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😅

This is Sekizen's Cosmos Hiyoroshi🌸. Sake made with cosmos flower yeast 🍶. It seems to be 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 smell that good lol. 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 5km 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.

Good evening, Mr. Matsuchiyo 🌙 I am learning a lot about the river situation! I'm sure the breweries in this water system have good quality water 🙌Maybe the toji-san in Iraka loves the taste(?) of this river 🤔. I think the master brewer of Iraka may like the taste(?) of this river 🤔.

This is Kanaryu from Shinshu Meizou. The owner of a nearby izakaya that specializes in Nagano sake told me that Shinshu Meikozo is a joint brewery of three breweries, so there are many brands available. 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 Nobukata Itagaki, 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. ⛩️

The second drink in Nagano was Wada Ryutosui. The first aroma was softly sugary and sweet. In the mouth, it has a slightly dark sweet flavor typical of Nagano sake, but the aftertaste is light and refreshing. 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 more delicious. If you have ever had Kinjaku, you would know that it has a light taste with a good response, so even though it is an Aki-agari, you don't feel it's too heavy. 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

With this, 90% polished rice is also welcome 😊. It was delicious 🍶✨️
