6/25 I went to Abientot, a cool restaurant at Ikebukuro east, with Guy-san, my old friend- wine agent. When I worked at Ikebukuro long time ago, I often came to this very nice restaurant.

I did not see Mr. Honda for 7 years around. Oh ! I really enjoyed wonderful cuisines today. I thought Mr. Honda has improved his skill of cooking more.

Especially, Lobster pasta was outstanding. I lost myself by this pasta. Wine, BYO by Guy-san 1st Chateau La Grande Metairie Entre-Deux-Mers Blanc 2003 2nd Chateau Le Raz Montravel blanc Cuvee Grand Chene 2002 3rd Chateau Fongrave Rose 2003 4th Chateau Le Raz, the top cuvee rouge ; I forgot the name & vintage

I was very impressed by the quality of Chateau Le Raz. It was really nice wine. I appreciated Mr.Honda & Guy-san to invite me such a nice dinner. Thank you very much.
