I cooked dinner, Temaki-Sushi.
Good job!!
1st Katsunuma Jyozo Winery Arugano Koshu 2020 1800 yen + tax
It is a “Japan Nouveau” made from 100% Koshu grown in Yamanashi.
I felt very clean fruits and very nice acidity.
It is made by a very natural maceration with no sugar and acid addition.
I felt a very good body even though the low alcohol, only 8.5%.
It was a very difficult vintage in Yamanashi because of the bad weather.
However, this Koshu Nouveau has very high quality.
It is one of my best Koshu Nouveau wines I have tasted ever.
2nd Chateraise Belle Foret Winery Prologue 2019 2800 yen + tax
It is made from 100% Pinot Noir grown in the estate vineyard in Hokuto, Yamanashi.
It is the second vintage of the winery produced only 300 bottles.
At first, I felt a charming Pinot Noir aroma and very light flavor.
Gradually, complex a fruits taste was coming up.
The style is very delicate and elegant.
I think it is a typical Japan Pinot Noir.
I like this one very much.
