Nov. 1
I was invited to the regular meeting of the ICU Wine Committee of International Christian University.
Members of the Wine Committee gathered at the Alumni House on the Mitaka campus.
Nestled in the depths of ICU’s woods, the Alumni House is truly a Studio Ghibli universe.
I’m sure Totoro is hiding somewhere.
For 20 years, Relax Wine has been in charge of importing the ICU Alumni Association wine “Musashino Cross”.
Today, Mr. Hans, the Big Boss of Stark Conde Wines, the manufacturer of “Musashino Cross”, is joining us as a special guest from South Africa.
Hans and his wife, Midori, are graduates of ICU, and “Musashino Cross” was born, which continues to this day.
When I looked it up, I found that the total number of units sold so far exceeded 85,000 bottles.
Amazing right.
I had a great conversation with the faculty and staff of ICU, who love wine.
Wine was brought by the participants.
A variety of wines were gathered.
The buffet is handmade by the faculty and staff.
Take a commemorative photo with the owner of Yamamoto Sake Store in Mitaka, Yoshihisa Yamamoto.
Mr. Yamamoto, who has been a taster for a real wine guide for many years, is famous as an Italian wine professional.
In fact, from today, November 1st, Yamamoto Sake Store has become a distributor of the ICU Alumni Association wine “Musashino Cross”.
It is now possible to purchase not only at the store but also at the online shop.
Anyone can purchase it, even if they are not related to the ICU.
The “phantom wine” that the some princess also loved is now easily available for purchase on the Internet.
Thank you very much for inviting us to this wonderful event this year.
Thank you for your continued support.
