Daytime drinks in Sakuragicho and a close game at Hamasta

Haruru stopped for daytime drinks in Sakuragicho before watching baseball at Hamasta. The tension lasted until the end, making the eventual win feel all the more rewarding.

From haruru.1002’s past accounts.

An izakaya stop before the game

Before the game, she went for daytime drinks in Sakuragicho. She described the izakaya as newly opened at the time and liked its atmosphere, friendly staff and food.

Views of the meal

The meal photographs include plates of sliced food, two skewers and several smaller dishes. Alongside her brief note about enjoying the food, they preserve views of the table before the game.

A five-run lead narrowed to one

She had felt reassured by a five-run lead, only for the gap to narrow to one. She remembered watching anxiously right up to the end.

That uncertainty made the victory especially moving. A game that had seemed comfortable became a memorable visit to the stadium.

Mandarin ice that melted quickly

She wrote that the day was so humid that her mandarin ice melted quickly. The heat became another memory alongside the meal, the close game and the pleasure of the win.
