そめぞう
Today was Powder Day. However, I could not ski well. My mentality is weak for the real thing, and I am in full throttle.
I couldn't go home feeling like this, so I went to Nmaya (a cafe run by a ryokan) and bought a coffee rouro (a cake roll made with coffee brewed in Echigo-yuzawa hot spring), and then went to a food stall village to enjoy a hot sake and motsu-ni (a kind of stewed beef tongue). The motsu-ni was very sinking in.
I was encouraged again today by a cup of Chojamori hot sake. It's hot and warms you up gradually.
Let's do our best tomorrow.
Tomorrow is Powder Day, and it seems it will be for some time to come.
Please come to Echigo-Yuzawa to enjoy sake, hot springs, and snow sports. Sake tastes even better on a cold day.
