Thank you for reading!
I’m “Yamaguchi,” and this is my third time writing an employee introduction post.
Since it’s been a while since my last “Employee Introduction” blog, I was wondering what to write about, but this time. I’ve decided to write about something I love: “alcohol.”
I’ve always liked umeshu (plum wine).
My parents, siblings, and even relatives love umeshu, so maybe it’s a family thing! (lol)
One of my fond memories of umeshu is visiting the CHOYA bar in Tokyo, where I got to try different types of umeshu.
I ordered a tasting set and enjoyed comparing the different flavors (even though they were all umeshu), each one tasted so unique, which was really fun.
Unfortunately, the bar is only in Tokyo, but I highly recommend it!

One of the best discoveries I’ve made in the past few years is a parfait bar.
There’s one in Nagoya that serves both parfaits and accompanying alcohol that pairs perfectly with them.
At first, I thought, “Parfaits and alcohol?” but they actually pair really well together.
Enjoying a tasty parfait and drink in a stylish space really takes the edge off.

Recently, I’ve also started drinking wine more often.
I enjoy sparkling wine, and I like white wine as well.
I love drinking it with cheese or liver pâté.
My family recently bought a wine that was so easy to drink, I ended up drinking a lot and got pretty tipsy! (lol)

I often go out for drinks with the members of Dande as well.
Recently, we held a “Wine Party” and a “Sake Party.”
At the wine party, since there were a lot of people, we got to try a variety of wines.
We drank sparkling, then red, then white, then red, then white… It was a lot of fun!
Everyone shared their thoughts as we drank, and we enjoyed feeling like grown-ups while having a great time.

I was surprised by how many people showed up for the sake party.
It was memorable that even members who usually don’t drink said, “If it’s sake, I want to join.”
There were many different types of sake, but honestly, I got so drunk that I don’t remember much! (lol)

The next gathering might be a “Beer” or “Umeshu” party!
Stay tuned for the next blog post as well!
