Iki na hakarai," which even "Yokoyama" fans may not be familiar with.
This is a Junmai Ginjo from Shigeya Shuzo, the brewer of "Yokoyama".
The name "Yokoyama" is right on the bottle.
It is a locally distributed brand sold only in supermarkets called Elena in Nagasaki Prefecture (part of Saga Prefecture).
The aroma is mild. There is a peculiar petitiveness characteristic of nama-shu. From there, it has a rounded, mango-y sweetness! It is rich, juicy and delicious.
When you come to Nagasaki, please stop by not only Huistenbosch, sake shops and breweries, but also Elena. Rare sake "Ikinahakarai" is available.
Now, the fourth photo is of Saga's balloon that came to Nagasaki.
"Daddy, I want to ride in a balloon!" Leave it to me! I'll take care of it, girls! So, from 5:30 in the morning, Dad stood alone in line to buy tickets for the balloon ride! He got the tickets safely, clutched them, and waited for his family to arrive as he watched the balloon grow bigger and bigger... The balloon was flapping wildly in the wind...
The attendant said, "Choo-shoo!"
Abort? Eh!
The wind was so strong that the balloon ride was cancelled.
At night, iki nakara nodded me off.

Good evening, Hachibei!
It's a sake with a good taste and a good name! Still, I'm sorry about the balloon 😭.
