Timeline
まつちよ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... 🍄🟫 chikaIt's matsutake mushroom season. 🍄🟫✨✨ まつちよIt was crunchy and delicious. 🍄🟫✨️ ＠水橋Hello, Matsuchiyo 😃.
So this is where you started your journey 🍶.
I like to take my time and visit historical sites and breweries 😃.
I hope to stop by the brewery store before the end of the year too 🥹. まつちよGood evening @Mizuhashi🍶.
We arrived in Ueda before noon and started with a course of grilled matsutake mushrooms at a matsutake mushroom hut called Ichisaka Sanso😊. ヤスベェ26th brewery tour of temples, shrines and sake breweries on foot
We arrived safely in Ueda a little after 6:00 this morning 😀.
We started our trip by first paying a visit to the Kitamukai Kannon-sama 😀.
The first brewery we visited was Wakabayashi Brewery, located between Kitamukai-sama and Ueda 😀.
My preliminary research said they open at 9am, but we arrived at 8:30am 🤣.
We waited in the cold until 9:00 to enter the store, and when we entered the store, they were looking at us from inside to see what we were doing when the store was already open 😅.
But they offered us a free paid tasting because we waited in the cold 😇.
After all, it's a very rare occurrence as Pon-chan told us 🤣.
The tasting was of Tokujun and Dry Junmai brewed with Hitogokochi, and I was surprised to see the completely different expression of the same rice. ‼️
We decided to take home the Tokujun because we like sweet and tasty sake, but the Dry Junmai was also a delicious sake with a delicious umami taste and a crisp, dry finish 😇.
When we paid the bill at the end of our trip, we were presented with sake kasu (sake lees) for making us wait 😀 It was a great start to our trip! ma-ki-Good morning, Yasbay!
It's finally started 🎵
I'm sure it's going to be a fun and interesting tour of the brewery 😁✨.
I haven't tried Tsukiyoshino yet, but I have a fruity image of it 😋. ジェイ&ノビィHi Yasbay 😃
6am start 😳You have a different spirit 😁Noby also says 'really great ‼️'👍
Early bird gets the worm 🤗. ヤスベェHi, ma-ki-chan 😀
All of the breweries in Ueda were very personable people 😀.
The brewer of Wadaryu told me that the breweries in Ueda are all very close and they all make an effort not to lose out😇. ヤスベェHi Jay & Nobby 😀
Before we went on the brewery tour, we really wanted to visit the Kitamukai Kannon (Goddess of Mercy), so we started to act as soon as the bus arrived 🤣.
Thanks to that, we arrived at Wakabayashi Brewery early and they were so happy to see us that they even gave us sakekasu as a gift😇. ポンちゃんHi Yasbay 🐦.
I knew it was a rare trip 🤣I'm great that you waited properly in the cold 😭I would say call out to them, but I'm glad they made it free 😁I'll look forward to seeing more after this 😊. ヤスベェPon, thank you here too 🙏.
But I love Ueda more and more because of all the nice people at the stores in Ueda 😇. つぶちゃんHi Yasubeyesan😄 I enjoyed reading about your trip to Nagano.
I enjoyed reading about your trip to Nagano 😊I heard that you went to the Kannon temple in Kitamukai ❣️ "Zenkoji temple alone is not enough", I wanted to visit there when I went to Nagano 2 years ago but it didn't happen, I hope to visit there someday. ヤスベェHi, Tsubu-chan 😀
I can't go to Nagano many times, so I did a lot of preliminary research and even decided how to get around after simulating the location of the Kitamukai Kannon-sama, sake brewery and liquor store 🤣.
I envy you that you can go there so often with your energy 😇 おっof the moon
Apple aroma. Quite sour when rolled around in the mouth. The soft and refreshing taste is typical of Tsukiyoshino. It enhances meals.
Purchased at a sake brewery. It is a new sake. The cedar beads are green.
Thank goodness they are open on the 3rd Saturday of the month in addition to weekdays. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
