Returning home to my parents' house
Since I've come all this way, I'll have a glass of Saga sake.
You can feel the depth of rice in this sake.
The accompaniment was octopus dumplings from Yachan-do!
Memorandum of February 10.
I went to Kashima City on this day for personal business.
I went to Tara town to buy oysters 😁.
I think oysters in Tara are the best in Japan when it comes to steamed oysters ✨.

The sake to go with it was from Baba Sake Brewery in Kashima City,
Nokomi Junmai Ginjo Araubashiri 🍶.
I look forward to drinking Nokomi Arabashiri every year!

I will open the bottle immediately.

I'm actually buying another bottle.
I'm excited to see when I'll open the bottle!
I'm excited to wait and see when the bottle will be opened!
Thanks for the treat 😋.

For intermediate level sake drinkers and up.
