海自カレーをBセットでいただきました セット内容はカレー・コーンスープ・サラダ・コーヒーor紅茶です カレーはとても野菜が溶け込んでいてとても濃厚でマイルドなからさがとてもよかったです。 どこか家庭的な感じの味もしてスプーンが止まらずあっという間にいただきました 薬味・付け合わせとして温泉卵、らっきょう、福神漬、レーズンがついてきますので味編も楽しめますよ 食後のコーヒーはちょい薄めかな?と感じたのとスープとサラダもなくてもいいかなー

広島県呉駅前の呉阪急ホテルの1階にあるレストランです。海上自衛隊監修のカレーが置いてます。 艦これコラボの時にはカレーを頂きました。いい思い出になりました。

呉阪急ホテル内にある、レストラン「イルマーレ」とカフェ「カスカード」。両店の海自カレーを食べ比べしました。結果、両方美味しいです! イルマーレのカレーはスパイシーでお野菜ゴロゴロしていて、相方曰く「食べ応えがある」と。カスカードのカレーはキャベツがたっぷり無水カレーで甘味があります。子どもでも食べやすいと思います。食べ比べすることで満足感が増し増しです(^^) 食べる順序は甘口のカスカード→辛口のイルマーレがおすすめかなぁ。

2022.2.20 観光案内で教えてもらった海事カレーを食べに行きました。家族は海事カレーで、私はランチにしました。海事カレー美味しい ランチのオードブルはキレイでどれから食べようかなやむいろんな味でそれぞれ美味しいスープはキノコのスープ。私の好きな味でした メインの豚肉がヤバいほどやわらくて、今まで食べた豚肉で一番美味しかった ケーキのテイクアウトしました。タルトも美味しい イルマーレ最高しあわせな時間をありがとう 1つだけ、となりの席のおばさま方がマスクもせず大きい声でずっと喋ってたの注意してほしかった。それか離れた席を案内してほしかったです。
