I had carefully cherished this bottle because it was my favorite Shinshu Kamerei and especially my favorite Hitogokochi Junmai, but I had cherished it too much. This is one that I let sit for 3 years. LOL!
When poured, it has a slightly yellowish color and looks matured.
The aroma is my favorite, with a hint of malic acid, but I like it because it is milder than other Okazaki brews.
And when you drink it... it is surprisingly fresh! Perhaps "fresh" is an overstatement, but it is so refreshing that it does not feel as if it has been three years in the making.
It has been three years since the last Shinshu Kamerei Hitogokochi Junmai, but it is also true that other breweries have rapidly evolved in the meantime. But there is still something special about it.
It's this, after all. It's not a new sensation. It's a song by Spitz or the Beatles. I've listened to them many times and will continue to listen to them, and they will always be there for me.
It was probably the best choice to end the first half of 2025.

Good morning, flos_lingua_est. I think you are right, the feeling of being in a turtle's nest is wonderful. It's a pity that we don't get to see each other often.
I see you are Beatles. It's the royal road 😃.
