［Returning to the "Home of the Heart" (5)
［After returning to the hotel for a short rest after a paid tasting at Sake no Takahashi, we started to move on to our main destination this time, Kikki.
I strolled along the shopping street in Onomichi, which I hadn't walked in two years, feeling like I was looking for a mistake to see where things had changed and where they hadn't. I arrived at "Kikki" after enjoying the small changes, such as this store moving to the opposite side of the street!
After saying hello to the owner, I decided to have a drink here ✨.
Kamotsuru Tokusyu.
Rather than a detailed review of the sake's taste, I'll just say that it makes me happy to be drinking at Kikki 🍶.
After a while, a regular who is the same age as me and whom I drank with 7 or 8 years ago came to join us, and the three of us had a great time chatting about the old days.
When we met before, neither of us was married, but now we have a family and admire each other's hard work 🥰.
And the food the owner makes is really delicious 😋!
He told us that he had a good supply of octopus today, so we had octopus tempura, octopus kobutsu, beef tataki, and other excellent dishes made with good ingredients and cooked very well!
［I am always impressed by the depth of the broth used in the deep-fried eggplant!
［The night in Onomichi is drawing to a close.

Hi Jive 😊.
Onomichi sounds nice 🥳I stopped by last year on my way from Izumo, where my daughter is, to Shimanami Kaido, where my second son is, for a walk and some ramen, but the night (and the memories) sounds fun too 🍶.

Hi Jive!
What a great party ✨!
It's great that the regulars you drank with back then came to the party and the three of you had a chat with the owner 😁✨✨✨.
It's a great thing that you and the owner are chatting together 🤗
The food is all good with sake too 🤤!

Hi, Takashi!
I'm actually looking forward to seeing your posts about the Shimanami Sea Route 🤣.
If you ever get a chance to visit Onomichi again, please try Kikki ✨.

Hi, ma-ki-chan!
Since the first time I met the owner, I felt like we were on the same wavelength 🥰.
We also talk with other regulars of the same age about our wives' temperaments 🤣.

Good evening, Gyve 😃.
I didn't know that Onomichi is the home of your heart 😊 I have worked there and I love it too 😊.
Kikki, I wish I knew about it back then 😌.
Well, it's a small town and I might have actually been there 😅.
I can't stand the people and stores that you know so well 🍶.

Good evening, Aladdin 🌛.
［I think the restaurant itself has been open for almost 20 years now, so maybe you've been there 🥰.
I would love to have a drink with the owner forever✨
