Sake and sushi

We had a Groupon last night for a sushi restaurant. It was $40 off the tab. The tab itself, because it was a BYOB place, turned out to be just under $42 before the deal was applied. The check was a buck and a half. Cas insisted on paying the whole thing. Whatta guy.

When we got to the place and saw the sign on the door that said BYOB, we asked where the closest store was that we could buy a bottle of wine. I had come to Cas' place with a bottle of red. He had bought a bottle of prosecco for us to enjoy after dinner. Both of these bottles were at his place, and we were too far to turn around. A third bottle was in order, and Sake seemed like the thing to do. 

We found ourselves standing in front of a big shelf at the beer and wine store with many varieties of Sake. He has an app on his phone that has you take a photo of a wine label.  The app reads it, then finds you reviews for that wine. Turns out, it worked. We made an informed decision and had a very tasty bottle of Sake. We're it not for that app, I may have talked him into a bottle that caught my eye for its funny name alone. I mean, who doesn't want to try Fu-Ki Sake? 
Alas, we went with a tasty, well reviewed bottle instead. How very grown up of us...  How do you say "oh well" in Japanese?
