Opened a bottle of Hiroshima souvenir.
The aroma is koji-like, which is typical of Junmai.
The palate has a moderate sweetness, umami, and acidity.
The sweetness fades into the aftertaste, which is quite refreshing with a touch of sourness and alcohol.
A versatile all-around food sake.
Saijo version.
Skimpy dry sake with a delicious flavor.
Sake to be drunk with no tension.
I like it.
I wish the time would come when this kind of sake would be accepted by the young people of today. LOL!
Memorandum of Remarks 🙏.
This is my 4th drink at Ishii. This is "Kamerei Ura Happichi" from Hiroshima.
It is said that the yeast used in the back version is different from the standard "Yappa", but the back version is also dry and easy to drink with a fruity aroma and sweetness to match 🙂.
Kamerei Junmai
Koha 92
When it is cold, it seems to be a modern sake with fruity acidity,
But as the temperature rises a little, the classic flavor comes out.
It is not unpleasant and can be matched with Japanese food.
Different 🐢 from the one I had on Wednesday.
Kamerei in Saijo, Higashi-Hiroshima City, is a sake brewery!
The liquor store where I bought this sake gives you a paper describing the taste as shown in the picture so you can predict the taste 😁.
I don't often buy sake from this brewery for drinking at home because of the image of dry sake, but I found a label that insisted on the polishing method 😳.
I was curious and looked at this paper carefully and they let me taste it 😋.
I guess it is still classified as dry, but the sweetness of the rice in the mouth is delicious 🥰.
After that, the taste quickly wears off with a light bitterness and spiciness 🥰🥰.
I bought it because I liked it so much at the tasting, and now I'm drinking it, and my impression is the same as the one at the tasting: a sake that can be enjoyed on its own or with food!
I have no idea how much of a difference the polishing makes, but this sake is delicious 🥰.
