No Wine Day
May. 16
After attending the meeting in Yokohama, I visited the Japan Wine Museum, which Yokohama Kimijimaya opened in April last year.
Today is my first visit.
I’ve been thinking for a long time that I want to go, but I haven’t been able to create an opportunity, and my long-cherished wish has finally come true.
There is an assortment of more than 300 kinds of precious Japan wines.
Starting with rare wines that are difficult to obtain, Kimishimaya is lined up with only wines from really selected high-quality wineries.
At the counter bar, several wines can be tasted at any time for a fee.
All the wines we tasted were delicious.
It was the first time I drank Kirinoka wine from Nagano.
I tasted a glass of sparkling wine and Pinot Noir.
Both were excellent wines that lived up to the rumors.
It was really a reunion with the store manager, Mr. Kaneko, for the first time in a long time.
Thank you, Mr. Kaneko.
Let’s continue to do our best for the development of Japan wine.
After leaving Yokohama, tonight I had dinner in my hometown.
First visit to Tsurukawa Kagoyamaen’s restaurant “Obaitoki” that opened in January this year.
This restaurant is a renovated 120-year-old private house in the Japan garden of the former owner’s house.
I feel a strange feeling that there is such a wonderful space within a 10-minute walk from my home.
I wasn’t expecting much from the food, but all the plates were first-class.
It was very tasty.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find my favorite wine on the drink list, so I drank cold sake today.
Shall I go and sell my wine next time?
Today is a day full of events.
Thank you very much.
