ばなちんShinsei, which I hadn't come across even though the liquor store I often go to carries it, has a corner, but there's none there.
Since my day off is Monday-Thursday and I mainly go to buy on Mondays, I decided to go on Thursday, hypothesizing that they would be sold out on Saturday and Sunday.
There was a huge line of drinks, from ecru to lapis, cosmos to flax cat, and I could choose as many as I wanted. I asked the clerk if my hypothesis was correct, but he brushed it off as "not true".
At this time, a relative brought us a large quantity of matsutake mushrooms, a completely unexpected gift (a great harvest in the mountains we manage).
We had matsutake mushrooms with rice, baked in foil and served with an all-star dish of autumn - naratake mushroom (we call it "bori" here) and sweet potato soup.
Surrounded by pleasant sourness and flavor, it goes perfectly with the autumnal flavors. As expected of the No. 1 salmon river, it was a wonderful experience.
