Shimanami - Kurashiki Travel Sake Activities (3)
This is a gorgeous sake that has recently been released 😘I personally found it to be the best!
I asked for a glass of Waragamizu and it was served in a Suntory mug😅!
Hi Maa-san, good evening 🌛.
Shimanami drunk 🥰I used to go every year before Corona✨.
If you have time, please go to izakaya [kikki] in Onomichi, the owner is a lot of fun 🤣.
Good morning, Jive ☀☀☀.
I've been Shimanami-drunk 😊.
I was staying in Fukuyama because I was going to Fukuyama castle the next day😅I will definitely visit again if I have a chance to go to Onomichi 🥰The sake in the manju set drink was good 🤣.
Shimanami - Kurashiki Travel Sake Activity (2)
It was a restaurant run by two young women. The classification of sake was
modern classic light rich
It was refreshing to see that they classify their sake as "modern classic
There were other sake I wanted to try, but I held back for the next one 😅.
Shimanami - Kurashiki Travel Sake Activities (1)
After Hiroshima-yaki and 🍺, we started our first sake session at Yokalu, a stand in front of Fukuyama Station 😀.
After a long hesitation, we decided to compare Tenpouichi and Kamerei. Tenpoichi was the second one 😁 Happo Iri Happo Seishu Irigon Yama?
I found it to be delicious in this order 😊.
Good evening, Maa-san!
I see your Shimanami - Kurashiki trip has started 🍶.
Good to compare Hiroshima's 🐢sansan drinking 😊.
It will be fun to compare different sake brews 😋.
I hope you enjoy your travel sake life 😁✨✨.
Good morning, ma-ki-!
I'm not a strong drinker, so I'm glad to be able to drink a little bit of sake and compare the different kinds 😋 I have a stupid tongue, so I always end up wondering which one is the best 😅.
I'm enjoying my travel and drinking life 😋.
I received this bottle from friends and it is a limited edition from the brewery.
It has a fruity and delicate aroma,
It has a deep, mellow flavor and a soft mouthfeel.
I like the sharp aftertaste.

The first "Kamerei".
It is a gem that is very drinkable.
It is made from 100% linear core white rice,
It is made from 100% linear core white rice and polished up to 50%,
It is a pure sake with an alcohol content of 17%,
And yet it is priced at 1,500 yen!
I want to drink it again.
The name "Kamerei" is derived from the fact that people live as long as turtles by drinking sake, the "best of all medicines" 🍶.
In Hiroshima, Kamerei is a dry sake 😁.
The aroma is subtle, but when you drink it, it has a refreshing flavor and a clean, light taste, especially good with sashimi!
At noon, we went to see the GW Flower Festival, which started today in Hiroshima. The weather was beautiful, the parade was spectacular, and the place was bustling with people 😄.
Following on from yesterday's Oibai MACHO... here's another low-polished one 😏.
This one is from a brewery in Saijo, Hiroshima... the Kamerei Shuzo🐢, which I've had my eye on for a while now: ‼️
Kamerei brews basically umakuchi type dry sake, which is more like the traditional sake... but this one has a sake degree of minus 18 ❗️
The brewing process is usually done in three stages, but this sake is brewed in five stages, and the sweetness is definitely concentrated 🤤.
But let's put the preamble aside... here we go! Open the bottle 🍶.
I poured it into a wine glass rather than a bottle and smelled it... oh my goodness, it has a delicious fruity aroma 🍎😋.
One sip and the gentle, fluffy taste of Junmai🌾 spreads across the palate...how to describe the umami, like eating rice🍚...it's delicious ✨!
The aftertaste has a pungent taste peculiar to Kamerei that makes the cup go further 🤣(probably almost imperceptible level).
It's just my personal opinion, but I prefer it to Shinshu Kamerei 🤔.
Day 2 report: 🗒️
A little bit more bitterness and more alcohol than the first day 🤔...
However, it is delicious with more umami ⤴️ 😋.
