Next month there's a retirement celebration for a teacher who helped me, but I'm lost on what to give.

I see. It's best to decide based on the teacher's taste, but do you know anything?

I recall that I think they liked Japanese sake.

In that case, giving a famous sake might make them happy.

True. Then how about adding some sweets along with the bouquet?

Sweets, huh. If it's something that keeps well, it seems they could enjoy it slowly.
