No Wine Day
Apr. 8
I received Mr. Francois & Mrs. Claudia Brouard, who are the owner of Chateau Fongrave in Bordeaux.
We have a business relationship over 25 years.
I took them lunch.
We tasted fine Japanese cuisine and fine sake.
Because they were interested in sake, I took them the sake museum near my shop.
We watched the movie at first.
It taught us how to make sake.
Then we tried a sake tasting.
Francois very seriously tried it.
Surprise!
He explained perfect comments about the character of each sake.
I found the person who knows wine knows sake, too.
Francois gave me a French National Rugby Football Team Uniform.
Thank you very much for Francois & Claudia!
It was very nice meeting you!
In the evening, I organized some private wine dinner at Furutoshi Ginza.
The theme today was South France wine.
All of the dishes today were outstanding.
We enjoyed a lot!
The best wine today was this Sanit-Chinian red wine, which has been not imported to Japan yet.
Amazing!
It is made from 100% Carignan harvested from 117 years old grape vines.
The taste is very similar to tremendously great Burgundy wine.
It was a very nice wine party.
Very good job!
