Yesterday, I had my annual Noge drink with two high school classmates (is the interval too short these days? 😅)
First, we got in line at our favorite sushi izakaya at 12:00pm!
After drinking beer and other drinks, the first sake was
Bakuren
I feel like it's been a while since I've had it.
Dry and refreshing!
The alcohol content is high, but it goes down smoothly.
This place is really cheap and delicious!
It makes me want to drink more (excuse 🤣)
The second drink of the day was Sawaya Matsumoto and the third was Ki!
Yesterday, as expected, I drank too much 😵.
Usually I finish after 3 or 4 drinks, but I ended up going to 5 (and still finished by 7pm 🤣).
My memory is hazy on the last part of yesterday, but as usual, I went to bed and felt refreshed this morning.
But I think I'll take a rest day today 🥴.
Good evening, Takashi 😃.
It sure seems like the intervals are short 😄I went to 5 restaurants from noon to 7pm 😚I'm jealous that you still wake up refreshed 🤗I'd be dead if I were you 😅.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😊.
I've been going to Noge for a bit too much drinking lately😅.
I don't really remember the days I drink or fall asleep, but for some reason? When I go to bed, I feel refreshed the next morning😆 so I end up drinking again!

It's been a while since I've seen Bakuren.
I love "Kudokibe", so naturally I love "Bakuren" too!
Are there different kinds of bakuren? Bakuren is delicious!
It's a very dry sake, but it doesn't feel dry, but this time it feels a little dry!
But this time it feels slightly dry.
The representative of the sake that claims to be super dry but almost never feels dry was too good to be true this time, too 😀.
Delicious. This is also very tasty.
It is fruity and dry, but has a wonderful taste that reminds me of the Kudokutei I had a little while ago.
I also had a chance to compare it with Murasaki Bakuren for a little bit, but it is too good to be true.
The name "Bakuren" means "a woman who does not listen to her parents" or "a woman who does as she pleases" in Yamagata dialect. Also, the woman on the label is an Edo period figure with her skin bare, holding a crab in her left hand and drinking wine, and this image is the origin of the name "Bakuren".
