I was shown to the counter tonight.
Cold storage behind me too!
I was curious about the sky blue label 🟦 here.
Akita sake!
Wow, this is so good!
I'll have to remember that!
I wonder how much I could drink this day in an hour!

Kikuhime, which is not usually drunk very often.
This also has a high price on the sticker on the back.
Then let's drink some!
When I drank Kikuhime with Betsan a while ago, we had it hot.
But it's hard to drink hot sake here.
Let's drink it cold as it is 🍶.
As expected
The color wasn't yellow, but I'm not a fan of this kind.
I would have preferred it heated.
Dumplings 🥟 and Lamb Tataki 🐑.

Toichi, which I don't usually drink very often.
It's light nigori.
Not too much sweetness...

Hey, I found Mitsuo Yamakawa💡.
I met this brand at the Saizuru bar in Tsuruoka a long time ago.
I haven't had it for a while.
I looked it up on Sake-no-Wawa, and it's been since 2022 Fuyu.
But this is my 4th time.
I seem to remember drinking a lot more than I thought.
It's a bit vague.
2025 is Mitsuo Yamakawa's 10th anniversary year.
It tastes like muscat ⁈
More impressive than the first two 🎯.
Tuna sashimi came 🍣.
Last time I asked for red meat, but it was pretty much medium fatty tuna.
This time it was a beautiful red meat!
They cut it thick!
I thanked the chef with my eyes 👀!

My favorite brand "Kangiku
Aizan 50 -Red Diamon- which we had at Momorin last month.
The Houou Mita we had earlier was a bit off, so how about this one?
Deliciously sweet and fruity!
I was so relieved!
The snow has melted completely!
The temperature is still below freezing in the mornings and evenings, but the cherry blossoms are expected to arrive between the 23rd and 28th.
I heard that the university entrance ceremony at my alma mater was held on April 1!
I wonder when is the entrance ceremony for Hokkaido University next to this store? I bet the store will be thriving again 😃.

Since my last visit during the heavy snowfall
I made a reservation before visiting.
It was the first day of the new year, and the place was crowded!
The manager remembered us from the last time we were here when it was snowing heavily.
He told us to take our time and let's make it an hour tonight.
First of all, I found my favorite Heki-ban!
I had a drink at Obihiro last time!
Let's start with this: ▶️
Maybe it's because there wasn't much left.
No pineapple taste as usual.
A little bit of bitterness at the end.
But that's okay.
Fried food for starters!
There are many things to enjoy today, so let's keep drinking 🍶🍶🍶🍶🍶🍶.
