Yet again, at the end of October, we made the short train trip over to the Hana-no-mai sake brewery for its new sake, which they freely pour for six hours. We saw Christine there with some friends that she brought along:
And we brought a few people along with us from Four Seasons and Aichi University including Mike:
Sian with friends Sachiko and Miho:
Eric & Rachel with Ayako:
Me with a friendly obasan:
Ayako with Carrie and Sachiko:
Sian was given some oranges and an empty box of chocolates from a stranger:
We enjoyed doing karaoke with a cloth on some chopsticks:
We met up with our sake buddies who we see once a year at this event:
We enjoyed watching some taiko drumming:
One great guy I met was Kenji, who cooks at a restaurant and made lots of the food we ate on that day:
He was very good at getting rounds of sake for us at regular intervals:
He also had a funny T-shirt on. You can see him here giving care to two of the guys who had passed out:
I did one of yearly traditions of taking a photo with someone who had passed out:
And finally, at the end of the event, Ayako spotted our local representative for the national government who was recently voted in, so I can say that I met somebody semi-famous that day:
Again, another fun day at the sake festival
