Feb. 6
I cooked dinner, Temaki-Sushi.
Under the state emergency, Temaki-Sushi is one of the few entertainments for me.
Delicious!
1st Kisvin Chardonnay 2018 3700 yen + tax
It is made from 100% Chardonnay grown in the estate vineyard in Enzan Yamanashi.
Mr. Ogiwara, who is the owner of the winery, is one of the top grape growers in Japan.
I felt rich fruits, fine acidity and nice minerals.
I could find very ripe grapes in the glass.
I was sure again it was a very fine Chardonnay in Japan.
2nd Fujicco Winery Fujiclair Merlot 2019 2020 yen + tax
It is made from 100% Merlot grown in Katsunuma and Makigaoka Yamanashi.
Ms. Hiroko Takano, who is the winemaker, is the wife of Mr. Eiichi Takano, who is the winemaker of Shinshu-Takayama Winery.
Well, it is a very excellent Japan Merlot.
I felt fine aroma, elegant fruits, mild tannin and comfortable after taste.
Because the fruits is very dense, I felt a seamless mouthfeel.
Also, I felt the fine essence of the ripe grape.
It is a wonderful Japan Merlot.
I think the price is too much cheap.
It is produced only 782 bottles.
I bought three bottles at the online shop of the winery.
