To Hiroshima to visit an old friend
On the way back to Hiroshima, we took a side trip and visited a sake brewery street in Saijo. However, because it was the Bon Festival, nearly half of the breweries were closed. Kamerei, which I was looking for, was also closed. As we were about to leave, a local sake shop was opening on the outskirts of Saijo Sake Brewery Street. When I entered the store, I found that it was full of locally brewed sake. I immediately asked the shopkeeper if he had any recommendations for Kamerei sake, and he recommended this sake. I was told that this sake is not sold outside of the city and is only brewed for sale at local liquor stores, so I immediately purchased it.
The aroma was strong and nutty, with a hint of pear, and the color was crystal with a slight yellow tinge. The first sip reveals a refreshing acidity and sweetness. The robust flavor is impressive. It was a good decision to buy it. It would go well with dried horse mackerel.
