You need more drink? You’s an “eccentrics” boy, aren’t you? Wanna drink “local sake” instead of Hoppy or second-class sake? There’s no bad person who likes alcohol, gambling, or animals…
Let’s get drunk for a bit, shall we?
Hi, it’s “Drunk Uncle”!
Today I went to “Kakuuchi Fukumotoya” in Hiroshima on my way home from work.
Hiroshima has many sake breweries, so if you walk around the city, you’ll see a huge traffic of “sake, sake, sake” – long-established bars, corner bars, and standing bars. My old partner, Mr. Liver, has developed a fatty liver and is no longer breathing… Well, to cheer up the listless Mr. Foie Gras, let’s go out to the city for some drinks as a “drunken remedy”…
head out to usual area around “Ekiminami”, the “Brick Street Shopping District in front of the station”…
“I feel like drinking sake today…💛” I was walking, and lo and behold, I came across “Kakuuchi Fukumotoya”. First, I checked the exterior as usual. Is “Fukumotoya” a branch of “Tachinomi Fukumotoya”? I knew I had to look at the “Drinks available” sign and go in… Oh, before that, let me introduce the text on the outside sign.
I drink when I have the chance, and sometimes even when I don’t.
It is a quote from Cervantes, the author of “Don Quixote”. It makes me think about whether it is deep or shallow. Thinking about difficult things makes me want to drink alcohol… Shall we go in?
I’m shown to the counter. My suspicions have turned to certainty. The sake menu matches that of “Tachinomi Fukumotoya,” and I confirm with the staff that it is indeed a branch of the same chain. So that means… it’s a “place where you can drink freely and deeply,” right…?
I check the adult beverage menu on the wall… As always, Fukumotoya chains have an incredible selection of “ponshu”. It’s exciting, isn’t it? I’m thirsty, so I want a “ready-to-drink drink” that I can drink immediately without any delay… In a situation like that, ordering something hot or lukewarm that takes time and effort is a no-no, “cold” is the only option, right? I especially like “Honshuichi” Namazume Junmai…
The adult drink has arrived… Thank you for the “smooth and full Mokkiri style”… My mouth goes to receive the glass. Gulp! Local sake is great, isn’t it?
Now that I’ve quenched my thirst, it’s time for Mami Tsu(Otsumami)… I order Doteyaki, Shuto on Cream Cheese, and pickled chili peppers?
They’re all so good! Gulp! They go really well with “HonshuIchi”…I’ve run out of drinks… The next drink is “Ugo no Tsuki”, right? I’ve also run out of crackers… Yoidre: Can I get some more? Shop: Yes, he said. I have no choice but to go, right?
The second adult beverage, “ready-to-ship product”, is delivered, Yoidore Express…. Gulp! Grateful…. The repetitive motion of munching on the “Shuto on the extra cracker” and washing it down with “Ugo no Tsuki”… isn’t it the best pint-stomping motion? If I drink one more glass, I’ll completely ascend, that is, go to heaven, so I gulp! I “lick” it down to the last drop, pay and leave the store.
“Well… We’re going to break up!” (by Wanibuchi from “Bukkomino Taku”).
That’s it for today…
