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 ⤴️ 😋.
A memorandum of remembrance 🙏.
A high school classmate came to see me from Tokyo for the first time in 37 years. We have both changed in appearance, but we had a great time talking about the old days after a long absence.
Since I hadn't been back for a long time, "Ishii" served us mainly sake from Hiroshima.
The first drink was this 🍶.
