Aug. 8
It was the third day in Sado Island.
The weather forecast said a big typhoon was approaching to Tokyo but here was a so fine day.
I heard some French person was preparing the wine making in Sado.
Then I went to his Café Restaurant but unfortunately it was a regular holiday.
Then I went to Hokusetsu Shuzo, which is a very popular sake brewery in the island.
I was guided to the cellar by a young sake-maker.
It was a very well-organized sake brewery.
Then I moved to Ryotsu Port and had a nice sushi lunch.
The local fishes were outstanding.
Super delicious!
Then I took an express boat to Niigata.
I had a nice dinner at Recolte a Cave d’Occi, a popular wine bar owned & operated by Cave d’Occi Winery in Niigata.
I enjoyed nice dishes with Cave d’Occi Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
After the dinner, I took a Shikansen train to Tokyo.
I was concerned if the train service would be canceled by the typhoon.
However, I could fortunately come back to home in midnight.
It was a very nice trip.
Thank you very much!
