kuemmerling
先月、ドイツから友人が遊びに来ていた。お土産でもらったのがクンメルリングというお酒。内容量20mlの小瓶で昔っぽいデザインがいい感じ。最近この手のボトルはプラスチック製になってきてるけど、コレはちゃんとガラス製。友人の勧め通り、飲んだ後は花瓶にしてみた。聞いた話だとドイツのバーなどでコレを友人と飲む場合、ボトルの底に書いてある数字が小さいと負けになり、勝った人に次のクンメルリングをおごらないといけないらしい。勝っても負けても最低2瓶は飲むってこと。ちなみにこの酒、35度で結構強い。
Last month a friend from Germany stayed with us and brought some Kuemmerling for us. It's a tiny 20ml size bottle, the design is classic and cool, and of course the bottle is made of glass (I don't like the miniature bottles that are made of plastic these days). As our friend suggested, I used the bottle as a vase after drinking it. He also told us about the numbers on the bottom of each bottle: when people drink Kuemmerling at a bar, whoever has the lowest number has to buy the next round. It means that everyone has to drink at least two of these 35% alcohol bottles.

Schnaps! Hello J., .. I noticed, one of the bottles is empty!! :) Kuemmerling - I remember it vaguely. Quite strong stuff, is it not? My dad used to drink it sometimes when in company. They'd have a few beers, and then, almost like a treat, a Kuemmerling or an Underberg. One of these, cannot remember which, came in a close/tight brown paper wrapping, and you tore of the top of it by twisting the bottle top and paper all together.

It was C that opened the first one :-) I'm imagining this is like Jägermeister (it is quite well known in Japan). I'm a little bit scared to try this, but maybe I will have a go after a big meal on Christmas party or something. The brown paper on Underberg looks so cool! I like it!

links_77さん、お久しぶりです。これは薬草系のお酒で、食べ過ぎた時なんかに消化を助けるために最後に飲んだりするみたいですヨ。そういう蒸留酒をシュナップスと呼ぶんですけど、イエーガーマイスターもシュナップスなので、たぶん味も似てるんだろうと思います。links_77さんはシュナップスを飲んだ事あるかしらん。
