I'm taking it easy at the end of the year.
On the 27th, my father, who had been in the hospital since November, was discharged from the hospital in the middle of this month, and he seems to be much better.
It was nice to see my parents' happy faces while drinking lots of shochu.
And on the 28th, I abstained from drinking alcohol, thinking about the future!
And today, the third day of the vacation, I had a takoyaki party with my wife for the last time this year!
It was a fun party with delicious takoyaki!
I'm going to preface this long story by saying that the sake we were drinking at the takoyaki party was Hanaizumi sake from the Hanaizumi Shuzo brewery.
This time it was an active nigori sake!
I've been looking forward to drinking this sake since I learned about it at Sake-no-Wa!
Let's have it right away!
Sumi-zake
First, the aroma. It has a refreshing aroma.
When poured into a glass, the bubbles are beautiful.
The sweetness and fruity taste in the mouth is gorgeous.
The lingering aftertaste is a gentle bitterness.
It is a well balanced and energetic sake!
Nigori
It is silky and full of flavor.
The fruity sweetness is still there, and it's also delicious.
Like the clear sake, it is not too sweet, but has a refreshing sweetness and umami.
My wife also said that the nigori was delicious!
It was the last time this year for us to enjoy Tako-Par & Active Nigori sake!

I had already decided on the end of the year for drinking at home, so I paired the takoyaki with Hanaizumi's nigori sake as planned 🎵.
The soy sauce based takoyaki with plenty of broth and the sweet and tasty nigori sake was perfect 😋!

Good evening, ma-ki🌛.
Congratulations on your father's release from the hospital 🎉.
The end of the year and the beginning of the new year is a period when we tend to drink a lot, so taking a "day off" is a wise decision 🥰.
The takoyaki looks delicious as always 🐙.
