I received queen crabs from my friend in Kinosaki.
They were still alive.
I steamed and cooked them.
It became a gorgeous dinner.

Very good!
1st Okuizumo Wine Chardonnay 2021 3200 yen
It is made from 100% Chardonnay grown in the estate vineyard in Shimane.
The winery is located in the same area with Kinosaki, West Japan Sea area.
I tasted this Chardonnay at the first time in these four years.
I was sure again that it is one of the top class Chardonnay in Japan.
I felt very rich fruits and pure citrus.
Especially, I was so impressed in the beautiful minerals.
It showed me a great marriage with the queen crab today.
2nd Furano Wine Zweigeltrebe Asir Furanui 2021 2750 yen
It is made from 100% Zweigeltrebe grown in the estate vineyard in Furano Hokkaido.
It is the small private products.
The grapes were fermented by wild yeast and matured in the cask.
Zweigelt made in Hokkaido sometimes become too much solid wine.
However, the style of this one is mild and elegant.
I felt charming red berries, moderate acidity, soft tannin and comfortable mouthfeel.
It was very good for the queen crab today, too.
