Sep. 2
I had lunch with Mr. Naoyuki Maro, the owner and winemaker of Hokkaido MARO Wines at “Tavern on S” in Shinjuku.
I have a strange relationship with Mr. Mako and we have a long-time relationship.
At first, we forgot to order food, the wine discussion starts as soon as we meet, and we exchange various meaningful information.
Before I knew it, we had been talking about wine for more than two hours.
Thank you for your continued support.
I’ll go back to my house and cook quickly.
Edamame
Goya and Tuna Salad
Mizuna, Broccoli, and Shirasu Dressing
Maguro Carpaccio
Taracco Spaghetti
Salt-grilled Saury
It seems that the Saury is a good catch this year.
It is unusually large for this time of year and has a lot of fat.
Moreover, 298 yen per fish is very helpful in this high price.
The first saury is very delicious.
I think I can eat a lot of Saury this year.
Today’s Wine
Belles du Sud Chardonnay 2022 1,080 yen
It’s the usual Languedoc Chardonnay, but today’s bottle is a 2022 back vintage.
Compared to the 2024 sample I drank the other day, it has a thick and mellow taste like nectar.
The fresh and pure fruit flavor is still alive and well.
It’s delicious.
It also goes well with saury. It also took well the bitterness of the saury’s organ.
