    Overview


    Kutsukake Sake Brewery is a direct sales store located in Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture.
     It is conveniently situated about a 5-minute walk from Nishi-Ueda Station on the Shinano Railway and a 15-minute drive from Ueda Station on the Nagano Shinkansen line.
     The store operates from Tuesday to Sunday, with business hours from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but it is closed on Mondays and has irregular holidays, so it is recommended to check before visiting.
    At this store, a diverse selection of sake, centered around the traditional Japanese sake "Fukumyoryo," is available.
     Notably, it is known for its high-quality offerings, including Daiginjo and Junmai Ginjo sake.
     Tasting is also available, but please note that some brands may require a fee for sampling.
    Kutsukake Sake Brewery provides an environment where you can fully enjoy the allure of Japanese sake.
     "Fukumyoryo Daiginjo Genshu Kanzaku Sonchun Raku" is particularly popular, boasting a higher alcohol content of 17 degrees, yet allowing you to savor its profound flavor and aroma.
     Other options include "Tokubetsu Junmai Sake Kono Mai," each with its own distinct characteristics.
     For instance, the Daiginjo's fruity aroma and rich flavor make it ideal with light dishes or Japanese cuisine.
    Additionally, in the brewery, there is a symbolic "Sugitama" which indicates the completion of a new batch of sake.
     Seeing this Sugitama heightens the anticipation for the year's sake.
     Kutsukake Sake Brewery not only embraces traditional brewing methods but is also actively expanding into international markets, reflecting a passion and pride for sake production as part of Japanese culture.
