Michisakari local sake, Izumiya Restaurant, Gifu, Japan

ONE BEAUTIFUL STILL-LIFE......impossible to be still after a few drinks of sake..........oh, yes, I have drank sake. I still have some of the huge bottles I brought back from Yokohama. All empty, of course.............I added this to my Japanese gallery and to my BLOGABOUTJAPAN. Thanks for your many excellent photos that permit to revisit Japan, time and again. Someday, hopefully, I shall return. Rob
