Okazaki Sake Brewery Shinshu Kirei, a representative sake brewery in Ueda

When people from other prefectures think of Ueda City, they probably think of delicious autumn matsutake mushrooms, fruits, Shinshu soba noodles, walnuts, and sake! This time, I visited Okazaki Sake Brewery and got my hands on my favorite sake, Shinshu Kirei! It has a deep flavor, a strong umami of the sake rice, and a clean finish. I love the feeling of tasting a high-quality sake. Also, personally, I love the unique and delicious oidare sauce (pronounced "oidare") that is served with yakitori in Ueda City, which pairs perfectly with sake! If you're planning a trip to Ueda City, be sure to enjoy it as a journey to discover your favorite foods and drinks. 😊
