Cold sake first.
Straight and gentle. Early morning water meadow
Drink. It starts out hard and dry, but only for a moment. I soon relaxed. Summer vacation at grandma's house. The morning flowing slowly. It is pale, sweet, and slightly bitter. When I swallowed, I felt a hydrangea-colored yukata
Next, 35 degrees Celsius
Rice. Sweet rice
Drink. A moment too loose. Even if it is a salon pass, it is impossible to loosen up this much. Float in the warm Dead Sea and drift in a doze. The alcohol feeling is strong. Is it really 15.5 degrees? It's 17 degrees in my body.
Next, 45 degrees Celsius.
I can't wait for the fireworks display to start at 7:30 p.m. I've been here since 4 p.m. and I can't wait!
Drink. Trinity! I abandoned the idea of thinking. My neighbors have set up lanterns on their front porches, and for the first time in a year, the dusty lanterns are lit. The lanterns are lit while it is still light. I love the time of day when the summer festival is about to begin.
Finally, 55 degrees Celsius.
The scent of candles from the lanterns fills the air. It looks like the festival has begun!
I drink. I hurriedly put on my happi after taking a bath. The night breeze feels good on my sweaty back. Now the special night begins. I pedal my bike to the meeting place with my friends. This excitement!

Midorikawa is good raw sake. It is loose, light, and nostalgic. It reminded me of the most important time that I had almost forgotten. Summer is coming to an end. Before that, I want to drink this sake slowly. I want to warm up those precious memories with a heated bottle.
