Scoring: ☆☆☆☆
A-Sakura's store exclusive, special pure unfiltered raw sake: ❣️
Saturday was my partner's milestone birthday 🎂🎶.
Since it was a milestone, he wanted to splurge a little 😅, so we had a lunchtime drink and a cake with lots of round strawberries (lol).
The party started at 15:00 ❗️
My daughter joined us and the three of us went to the front of the station ‼️
The first restaurant was a good fish restaurant, but we didn't drink sake.
The price was a little high 💦.
The second restaurant was a cheap meat (yakitori) restaurant ❣️
I didn't take pictures of the labels of the drinks, I'll just show you what's on the menu. I'm too lazy 🤣.
See the menu for a review 🤣.
The cake 🎂 was so good 😋!
The cake had almost no sweetness and made good use of the tartness of the strawberries🍓🎶.
To be continued...
Good evening, T.KISO😄
Happy Birthday to your wife 🎂🎁Requested lunchtime drink and 🍓full cake🍰, it was a happy family celebration 🥂.
But a cake with almost no sweetness is rare 🤣🍓 for the win👍.
Good evening, T.KISO!
Happy birthday to your wife 🎉!
I'm sure it was a fun celebration with your daughter joining in the fun 🎵.
I'm curious about the lovely aroma 😲.
I can't get enough of the 🍓 on the cake 🎂
Hello T.KISO ^_^
Happy milestone birthday to your wife🎉!
The cake looks delicious with lots of strawberries🍓🍰✨!
I feel that drinking out is too expensive, so I drink good sake at home 😊.
Thank you, Manachie 😊.
My mental age has decreased over the years, I might really be 20 years old lol 🤣.
As for my appearance 😅...my partner says I'm surprisingly young ❣️I wore braids when I was in my 30's and when I was dealing with a visitor, she said "Do you have parents?" lol.
Thank you ma-ki-😊.
My daughter was initially absent, but suddenly decided to attend after plans were cancelled 💦 resulting in expenses... 😰😰 lol
Yes, it was a dainty fragrance 🎶🤣 I wonder what it was like 🤔 lol.

We received a bottle of A-Sakura Junmai Ginjo Yukinofu.
At first glance, the name may sound like it is made from Yukinofu rice, but it is not. The name is derived from the name of the designer who designed this lovely label.
I had purchased this sake in March, but since I drink dozens of bottles in the order of purchase, there is inevitably a time lag. That is the reason for the unseasonal rush of spring sake. I would like to reduce my stock more so that I can enjoy these seasonal drinks on time, but there are so many I want to drink that I can't reduce it at all.
As the label's image of a pretty, fragile girl suggests, this sake has a sweet and sour taste with a freshness that is typical of nama-zake. I had imagined it to have a gentler flavor, but it had a surprisingly strong sake-like and alcohol-like taste.
I heard that there are several patterns of Yukinofu labels, so I will try to buy it again when I see it.
