I don't want your FREE-dom!
"Crap, has anybody seen my shoes? The silver flats?"
Girl, all I want right now is you-hoo, Doo doo doo-oo!
"Don't you have them on?"
"That's only the left one..."
This is Etsuko's fault. Then again, I should have known better. Last year, I attended her first BYOS party, a much smaller affair that nonetheless left us all with the burning question, "Did I pay?"
This time we sampled 13 bottles, three of which were mystery sake courtesy of Robert-Gilles. I arrived a bit late and foolishly tried to play catch-up without properly fortifying myself with food first. I can recall, albeit hazily, the 3 mysteries, the Kagatobi Muroka Namazake I brought, and Etsuko's Chioyomusubi...Tamami and Ai brought some really nice Honjozo and Junmai from Zuiyou. I'm not so sure about the rest.
One thing is clear - I have not outgrown my fondness for dancing on chairs. It's a karaoke thing, you wouldn't understand.
Etsuko, thank you for organizing such a fun event. I apologize for my shenanigans.
Robert-Gilles, thank you for the latest round of mystery sake mayhem. You really are a tricky one - how could you know about my soft spot for futsuu-shu? I promise to send you my comments soon.
Anyone who's curious should check out the Tokyo Sake Meetup Group. Don't be afraid, I promise to be on my best behavior next time.

What she said. 12:30 am, husband in a dull stupor brought on by too too much sake, as six women jump on the karaoke room couches singing "Like a Prayer." Oh, and the sake rocked.
So funny! On the way back, we were wondering where your next destination is.It was fun and lots of sake, all good ones!
Ladies!
If I were you I wouldn't care a bit about shenanigans!
Would you believe that in laid-back Shizuoka, it is the men we have to control!
Wonder why...
Tomorrow I have been invited by the Shizuoka toji totheir private "kampyokai"!
On Friday I visit Isojiman Brewery.
Next week I go to New Caledonia and Kyoto.
Plan to write about it although it is not Shizuoka!
Cheers again girls!

Oh yes, I understand perfectly!
Cheers, Mel!

Jocelyn,
Thank you for sticking with me that night. Your poor husband, though.
Etsuko,
Your parties are too much fun. Really. I have to write "slow down" on my right hand or something.
Robert-Gilles,
How was the kampyoukai? Love Isojiman, so will be looking forward to reading up on your visit. Have a great time on your vacation!!!
Jude, Jude, Jude,
How I miss you!
