New Year's Day
I opened this one because the first drink I opened tasted so bad,
Usually I do my best to avoid using the word "tasteless" lol.
I think it's because someone or something told me that I shouldn't use it for alcohol, which is a luxury item.
But it really tasted bad.
And this hana-yang-bathing, which I thought for sure,
It tasted bad that day!
And I am sorry.
It wasn't that the alcohol tasted bad, it was my taste buds that were making me go crazy. I am so sorry.
Two days have passed since then, and today is 1/3.
Oh, oh,
This is it, this is it.
The sweetness spreads in the mouth with a pleasant taste, and a rich umami flavor.
And I feel a slight bitterness in the aftertaste.
I don't know what flavor it has, but I instinctively like it.
But on New Year's Day, it tasted completely different.
I learned another lesson.
I learned that what you eat and drink together can change the taste so much.
I could deeply feel that I am learning throughout my life.
I have learned that the sake that I had dismissed as "not my favorite" is now the cause of my own problems. I thought that this might have been the reason for the sake I had dismissed as "not my favorite!
It was the beginning of this year that made me want to try different kinds of alcohol in different situations.
