The scene is set at a Japanese hanami party, a festive gathering to enjoy the beauty of cherry blossoms. This springtime celebration, accompanied by the consumption of alcohol, creates a perfect environment for the practice of bureiko jikan, a term referring to the liberating period of time when social norms are relaxed.
The party is in full swing, and the participants are gradually succumbing to the effects of intoxication, evident in the blurred lettering on the label swirling within a glass of the robust Strong Golden Ale.
