"Kicchom" is one of a famous Japanese "Shohchu" which is Japanese original hard
liquor. Especially in the southern Japan, people prefer it much more than "Sake".
Kind of Japanese vodka?? But it's made by several kind of materials, sweet potato, wheat, buckwheat, rice, sesame and so on. Depends on a material. every "Shohchu" has something different flavor & different fragrance.
Let's warm up together in the dead of winter.

The long night in autumun. Reading my favorit books, and having a little bit of brandy or wine.

Autumnal Long Night

Southern France, there is a great dreamy old small villege near from Nice.
This villege has been keeping for long time from foreign enemy like pitrates because of the location which is the top of the cliff directly from Mediterranean.
And very narrow roads of inside of villege have guarded from foreign enamies, too.
Silently, isolatedly. But also very beautifully they have been keeping their own world.
Breathtaking small town, Southern France, Eze, .
