May 17
It was a heavy rainy day in Kobe in the morning.
I would have a vineyard work at Kobe Wine today.
I was wondering if I can did it.
However, I visited to the winery.
It was the second event of the Hakutsuru sake brewery and Kobe Wine joint project.
I saw the big cellar at first.
Then I joined to the vineyard work at the estate farm with the project members of Hakutsuru.
The members are selected from various sections, sales, marketing, D&R, accounting, PR, etc.
All of us were at the first time to work at the vineyard.
It was not so easy but interesting.
We might do a good job.
Then we moved Inji vineyards and checked our Chardonnay vines.
All of the vine were very fine now.
Then we went back to the winery and had a wine tasting.
We tasted five sparkling wines made by Kobe Wine.
I was so impressed in all of the wines quality.
They were very nice.
Especially, Fuwari white and red made by the traditional method were great.
I thought they are one of the top class sparkling wines in Japan.
I think we did a good job.
Then I went back to Tokyo.
I tasted sushi and Kobe wine on the Shinkansen train as usual.
They were nice!
Thank you!
