It has been a long time since I have posted.
Today is the day of the Snake Month Snake Day🐍 in the Year of the Snake, which comes once every 12 years.
So I opened the zodiac bottle Otsumi.
It has been a long time since I have had a very mellow, sweet, and dark colored sake, so I was very happy.
The moment I had it, I felt like I had purged myself of all impurities and felt very refreshed.
Today is the day of the snake🐍, so we had a long dish for lunch.
I heard that there were a few last of the rare sake that Sakura-san gave us at the end of the year, so we had some!
It's a calm sake that doesn't assert itself too much!
The tempura and sashimi of the day were seasonal, so sometimes it's better to keep the sake out of the foreground!

Overnight in Nakatsu after traveling from Omuta City to Fukuoka City.
Purchased at SunLive in front of the hotel.
Tired, so we drank in the room.
I picked it up because of its very cute label.
It is a very sweet and mellow sake!
Izakaya Shinkansen (not Izakaya Shinkansen, but Izakaya Aircraft)
I had a meal during the waiting time, so I couldn't eat any food, just sake.
It's too good to be true!
Oita is the best!
Good evening, Shinjo-san.
Are you traveling to Oita? I am envious.
Ryukyu is delicious, isn't it?
Is it the soy sauce or the fish that makes it so good?
Good evening.
There are many delicious foods in Kyushu, but I don't pay attention to others and only eat Ryukyu.
I guess you have to use sweet soy sauce.
I'm going to have to go back to Oita for more Ryukyu, though my wallet is going to be cold for a while!
Sparkling wine container and cork stopper with a firm fizzy feel. Sweet, with malic acidity and a slight bitterness, like a cidre. The aroma is subdued and the sense of rice powder in the back reminds me that it was a sake.
It smells sweet. Cherry or peach.
Flavor of apricot and rice in the bottle.
A refreshing mouthfeel.
Nice contrast with the spicy miso sauce.
A good food sake.
Taste level ☆3/5
