We will have this one tonight. We purchased this sake during our recent tour of the five Suwa breweries plus two other breweries (Mikotsuru and Takaten). It is a refreshing sake with the freshness and fruity taste of freshly pressed sake.

Hello, take-san @ Shizoka-san 🐦.
It looks like you are enjoying Hanami with sake and 🌸 😊I wonder if they are in full bloom, very beautiful 🌸.
I feel like drinking Doukan for the first time in a long time🎶.
Hello, Pon-chan, here are the Atami cherry blossoms on February 20. The peak of full bloom had passed. This year, the Kawazu-zakura bloomed late, so there were more people than last year. I can't wait for the weather to warm up so we can enjoy Hanami sake🍶🌸.
Tonight we will have this one, which we had at the end of last year. It tastes fresh.
