They use Hot Springs well water and locally grown rice, and the sake is delicious. They served it chilled like wine &#8211; I\u2019ve only had the warm cheaper stuff for the most part, so this was mind-boggling to me. I\u2019ll definitely be buying some to drink when I go back to visit. I\u2019m in yoga with the adorable Japanese wife of one of the guys running it and enjoyed getting to chat with her this week (I love the folks in my yoga classes &#8211; they\u2019re all so very nice).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" src=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_2863.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7209\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_2863.jpeg 320w, http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_2863-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><figcaption>A Thousand Cranes and White Lotus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A couple of hummingbirds were still around on my last day in Hot Springs, even though the weather broke and fall arrived with chilly mornings and perfect days.
