Wine seminar in Koriyama, Year-end party in Utsunomiya

Nov. 17

Liver rest day

 

 

Nov. 18

Today, I went to Koriyama.

 

 

At the York Benimaru headquarters, I held a regular monthly wine seminar.

 

 

Today’s theme is “New World and Japan Wine”.

 

 

Since it was a wide-ranging story, I ran through it in the limited time of 3 hours at once.

 

 

The tasting is a comparative tasting of Chardonnay from South Africa, Australia, Chile, and Japan.

 

 

 

This is also the sixth seminar. The tasting of the participants went well.

 

 

Everyone and I did our best.

 

 

On the day after tomorrow, when Beaujolais Nouveau is lifted.

We have entered the peak of wine sales. Let’s do our best.

 

 

After the course, I got off at Utsunomiya today.

It’s a year-end party with an old friend.

 

 

The venue was “Sakemori Kanbei”, which was a hit in a Tabelog search for “izakaya in front of the station where you can bring wine”.

 

 

This resturant is a big hit.

All the dishes were very delicious.

 

 

Raw oysters are served as a starter.

 

 

The sashimi platter is extremely fresh.

 

 

 

The tempura and crispy texture are the best.

 

 

 

 

It was a number of dishes that exceed the level of izakayas.

 

 

From the restaurant’s wine list, I chose Aruga Blanca Clareza.

 

 

The wine I brought in was Chase the Grape.

The carry-on fee of 1,500 yen is reasonable.

I’m also happy with a nice burgundy glass.

 

 

Chase the Grape’s chill red was a perfect match for tempura.

 

The delicious foods and delicious wine greatly exceeded our expectations, and we had a great time.

 

 

Thank you very much for a wonderful time.

 

 

 

So, I did it again at the end.

On the way back, it seems that he was sleeping while standing on the Odakyu Line express from Shinjuku.

When I woke up at Noborito Station and jumped out of the closing door to change to local train, and realized, “Hey, I don’t have a bag!”

The door closed, and my bag, which had lost its owner, left with the express train.

I was at a loss, and the bag had an important my computer.

I asked the station staff to search for my bag, but near the last train, there was no staff at any station who could handle forgotten items.

 

 

I waited for 30 minutes for the express train to arrive at the final station, Karakida, at the station on the way.

I received information from the office at Karakida Station that a kind passenger was delivering my bag.

 

 

Oh, that’s good. It was really good.

I made it in time for the last train to Karakida, and reunited with my bag with tears at the station.

The return train was over, so I took a taxi home.

 

 

It was a long, long day. But I’m really glad that my bag is back.
