Chapter 230 (2/2)
“My family imports food, alcohol, and many other things from other countries . That liquor is one of them, and I wanted to see people who were used to drink liquor of that level to taste it . And it doesn’t help anything by just listening to compliments and words, so I observed how everyone’s reaction .
And then, we decided to import it because it seemed to be well received… but it was very popular even in the country of origin, so it was hard to obtain, and it was only affordable at a high price . So, there’s only so much amount that can be imported…
Well, there are some from other makers that have almost the same quality, so if you’re good with a similar one, it’ll be convenient… it’s roughly comparable to that one” (Mitsuha)
Right, the 12 y/o single malt from Hakushu I brought that time is out of production .
Well, there’s no way the 12 y/o product would be [rapidly ma.s.s-produced due to favorable reception], after all… Even if they were to prepare a lot now, it wouldn’t make sense if the popularity subsided 12 years later .
Of course, I still could get some if I searched on the internet and pay tens of thousands yen for it, but there’s no need to do that far .
Indeed, I think even if I get it at a super high price, I still can sell it to n.o.bles, riches, or military officials at several times the price I paid .
But I don’t want to do that far, and I would feel bad towards all sake enthusiasts on Earth . So the other products from the same maker or the equivalent products from the other makers should do just fine .
“Please do!” (the commandant)
Immediate answer!? And I feel like I heard [kukuku…] from the foul face of his…
Aaah, he’s not only thinking to drink and enjoy it himself but also brags about it to others, absolutely…
Most senior officers in this country are n.o.bles, so no matter how expensive they are, the price wouldn’t be a problem . The problem is to get what others can’t get, no matter how much money they have…
However, j.a.panese sake is already in circulation among the n.o.bles and wealthy people of the royal capital…

Well, the number is still few, and indeed, the ones that equivalent to the Hakushu 12 y/o hasn’t been sold yet .
And, for this commandant, I’m just [a daughter of a naval favored n.o.ble family that he met at his favorite bar] and [a female friend of a young soldier who is working in the fleet] . Still, if the liquor I prepared were to spread through this person, it will be exposed sooner or later… the fact that I am the [Viscount Mitsuha von Yamano], who is now famous in the royal capital, I mean…
Be it n.o.ble or military official—if they’ve been working in this town of naval port and never got the chance to go to the royal capital, and that they haven’t attended a n.o.ble party, of course, they won’t get the opportunity to know me . And of course, about the alcohol that we’re handling, too .

But if they’ve attended a party I’ve been to, or if they’ve drunk the alcohol the Rephilia Trade handles…
