Aug. 24
It was the third day of my summer holidays.
After the breakfast, I moved to Kaminoyama from Ginzan Onsen.
I visited to Takeda Winery with no appointment.
Unfortunately, we had a heavy rain.
Fortunately, Ms. Noriko Kishidaira, who is the owner & winemaker, came back to the cellar from the vineyard because of the heavy rain.
Accidently, there was Mr. Kusunoki, who is the owner & winemaker of Kusunoki Winery in Nagano.
He had a wine seminar in Kaminoyama yesterday.
We had a nice wine talking for a while.
Then I moved to Yamagata and had a very nice lunch at Il Blu.
Mr. & Mrs. Yamashita welcomed me.
They have been dealing Cave de Relax wine as their house wine since the restaurant opened 10 years ago.
I was on the wine list.
I enjoyed outstandingly fine dishes.
Thank you very much for Mr. & Mrs. Yamashita!
Then I drove to Sendai into the heavy rain and visited to Osaki Hachimagu Shrine.
Then I had Gyutan dinner, which is a popular local food.
Then I moved to Bouchon, which is a very popular wine bar in Sendai.
Mr. Hikichi, the manager of the winebar, welcomed me.
I enjoyed a very nice dish and glass of wines.
It was a very nice three days trip in Miyagi and Yamagata.
Thank you very much.
Finally, I kept drinking red wine on the Shinkansen train from Sendai to Tokyo.
By the way to my home, I lost my memory…
DOBON!!
