I won again in a lottery at a liquor store near my commute to work!
I had always wanted a bottle of Shinshu Kamerei.
I had a chance to drink it, and it is still delicious!
It was a little sweeter than the last time I drank it, and had a nice sharpness to it.
I would like to drink it again and again, so I am looking forward to the lottery again!
