Went for a short camping trip at Riverside Camp Field Chichibu.

It was grey and drizzling yesterday when we arrived and set up, but we still had a nice campfire in the evening, and a pretty sunrise this morning.

Despite the light rain, it was warm (and humid), low of 18°C overnight, barely even needed a sleeping bag, and it was nearly 30°C this afternoon.

Ichiro’s signature flavor profile of rich, woodsy flavors complemented by a clear fruitiness owes in large part to the tempermental 'mizunara' Japanese oak.
