Sep 8 The big typhoon passed away. It was fine today. I went to Kirigamine highland and ate a mushroom soup was very nice.

Then I went down to Suwa Sinto Shrine, very well known shrine in Japan.

Then I went to Nagasaki-wineshop without an appointment. The shop is well known wineshop in our business people.

I have known Ms. Nagasaki for a long time. She was one of the first clients for me since I started the whole sale business 4 yeas ago. Even though I had no appointment, she welcomed me very much. So I was very happy. We could see the beautiful lake view from the bar counter of the shop.

I drank a non alcohol beer instead of a tea.

It was very nice. I was very pleased that I found my imported wines in the big wine seller of the shop.

I admired that Ms.Nagasaki was really looks young, cheerful and energetic. Thank you very much for Nagasaki-san.

1st Masumi Junmai-shu I bought this at the Sake Brewery yesterday. It was very beautiful Sake. Very good. 2nd Marquis de Bolland Chardonnay 2003 725 yen It was always difficult to drink wine after drinking Sake. But this was no problem. Really nice ! Especially, the vintage 2003 had a very good acidity, I thought. 3rd Domaine Robert 2003 1000 yen This was a new arrival. I drank this at the second time. I heard this red was made by woman owner & winemaker very carefully. Look! Such a long cork.

It was a really nice Languedoc red. I recommend this for all. Extra Suntory Pure Malt Hakushu I bought this whisky at the distillery. It was a only tasting.... Well... Very good balance, sweet flavor and well smoky flavor. It might be a just bit similar with The Macallan.
