But what's that on the left?

That's Kakunko from Gifu. Vintage 1996.
Some serious aged sake, there... Serious sticker shock too.

¥262,500? I think I'll stick to Ch.Lafitte after all :-)

As spotted in Seibu Ikebukuro dept. store.

Just one more Ryugin pic Just one more Ryugin pic that never made it into print... Too pretty to hold back! The finest oyaki I've ever had -- creamed chestnut as the filling. This came with the final cup of green tea.
