OCT 19
I went to Tamanegiya in Kagurazaka, a traditional Japanese restaurant that has a lot of super rare Sake stocks, with Mr. Ogawa and Mr. Saisho who were owner and manager of the restaurant I had worked in my student day, 25 years ago.
Mr. Kinosita, owner of the restaurant, is a very good client of mine for over 10 years. We talked about our old stories a lot. It was so pleasant.

Tamanegiya serves outstanding Sashimi that Mr. Kinoshita buys at Tsukiji market every morning.
Today, especially Maguro was fabulous ! Roast side-head of Maguro was the best one in my life.

We drank a lot of unusual super great rarity Sakes. It was really so wonderful ! They were all perfect condition had been kept a cold temperature.
Then we tried two bottles of fine red wine Mr. Ogawa brought here.

Jasper Hill Shiraz 2003
This was a Australian "Cult Wine". The wine made in Victoria by very small winery. I thought this was the style of like a Chateu Latour if the winery makes Syrah in Bordeaux.

hateau Talbot 1985
I didn't drink this 1985 for a long time. This showed me a very good perfect mature.

Then Mr. Kinoshita gave us his house wine.

Calyla Vines Cabernet Sauvignon 1998
This was a typical Australian big volume red wine.
I really enjoyed the party tonight. Thank you so much for all.
