Scenes from 2019
The entrance area. Apparently, people lined up so much that entry had to be restricted～
The limited sake available for tasting looked like this～🍶
Lucky bag sales. The bags are monochrome and stylish! After enjoying the tasty contents, you could probably use the bag afterward～
The stage area also seemed to be really lively. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like there will be one this year…
Above all, just look at this turnout😆 No doubt this year will be lively too!
Preparations Are Coming Along
Sasako-san sent us photos from the venue on the night of 2/17!
This is the entrance～.
At Ozeki’s entrance, there are beautifully written characters for “kura biraki”!
Looks like there was a venue guide map～. There are proper restrooms too, so no worries. What will you eat tomorrow?
You can’t get started without trying this limited-edition sake!
It’s undiluted sake! Be careful not to drink too much!
Finally
With kitchen trucks serving food that goes perfectly with drinks, it looks like the sake will go down easy. It seems the cold will ease up a little tomorrow too, so why not go and enjoy a relaxed grown-up outing～😊
