Argo Sake 5.0
On the way home, I bought some Argo the day before and chilled it on the izakaya shinkansen 🚄😁.
I thought it was kind of interesting to have sake in a can.
(By the way, I took Izakaya Shinkansen with Kamo Nishiki which I bought at Hasegawa Sake Shop in Tokyo Station on the way there 😆)
Good evening, Ponchan. ♪
It's very tasty!
But if you see a woman eating this 🦀🍶, you might be a bit nervous 😆.
Please try it at home! You're right, this kind of sake goes well with it 😍.
