Okazaki Shuzo is a sake brewery located in Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture, just a 15-minute walk from JR Ueda Station.
 The store exudes a quiet atmosphere and warmly welcomes visitors.
 Its operating hours are from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and it's advisable to check in advance for any potential changes to the holiday schedule or hours.
At this brewery, sake under the brand name "Kamei" is brewed, and its quality and flavor have garnered a devoted following.
 In particular, varieties such as "Kamei (Yamada Nishiki)" and "Kamei (Hitogokochi Namazake)" are available, each with its distinct charm.
 Moreover, "Shinshu Kamei" has recently gained popularity and is sometimes difficult to obtain.
 Due to this background, many customers purchase bottles as souvenirs and enjoy their exquisite taste.
This brewery is notable for having a female toji (master brewer) overseeing the sake production.
 Mitsu Okazaki, known as a rare female toji nationwide, is dedicated to merging traditional techniques with modern sensibilities.
 The result is a range of sake that is easy to drink and loved by many.
 Additionally, the shop offers tastings, allowing visitors to discover a sake that suits their preferences.
Okazaki Shuzo not only produces sake but also offers amazake, which is praised for its refreshing sweetness.
 The warm service typical of a family-run business is evident, with consideration shown for each and every customer.
 The sake brewed in such an environment embodies the spirit of "Wajo Ryoshu" (harmony of brewing and good sake).
Visitors can enjoy the sake and amazake purchased here at home, often experimenting with pairings alongside meals.
 For instance, dishes paired with salmon purchased from "Kakujo Suisan" complement the sake splendidly, providing an enriching culinary experience even at home.
 In this way, Okazaki Shuzo plays an important role as a crossroads of Japanese culture and culinary traditions, and I encourage you to visit and personally experience its charm.
