A classmate of mine started brewing craft beer and made his first appearance at a local Tanabata festival. (4th picture)
On my way home from cheering him on, I visited a friend of mine who is a sake sommelier and is running the store by herself as a stay-at-home mom and pop for a while while the owner is away.
Normally, he serves a Japanese course, but while he is away, he serves a Japanese style of cooking, using obanzai to go with the sake.
It was also a hot day, so I first quenched my thirst with a saké that was served to me without saying a word.
Toyama Prefecture, Imperial Fine Sake Brewery
◉Gen no Taki Junmai Sparkling Cloudy Sour
This low-alcohol, carbonated drink is made from rice, but it has a very apple juice-like taste. It has a good balance of sweet and sour, but not dry. It is limited to 30 bottles per month as it is completely hand-fermented in the bottle and cannot be mass-produced.
On the day I came to the restaurant, a female sake sommelier is so cool, and there was a customer who had come to the restaurant before, got hooked on the pairing, and made an appointment to come back.
Moreover, that person was the owner of an obanzai restaurant in Ashiya that is only open for lunch and only takes reservations 3 months in advance.

Hi, Nemuchi-san. Your classmate who started making craft beer is amazing! I'd love to drink it if I can meet you somewhere 🍺 Shoko's place I'm going there next week too. It's a phantom waterfall, just like Touka 😊.
