Oct 11
I went to Yamagata, northern Japan 3 hours from Tokyo by Shinkansen Train, to visit to Takeda Winery which is one of the best "Domaine" winery in Japan.
It was harvest time, the winery have been very busy.
Ms.Noriko Kishidaira, an owner & winemaker of the winery, friend of mine was working very hard.
She made time for me for wine tasting even though she was very busy.
All wines were wonderful, fabulous, outstanding in Japanese wines.
After the tasting, she showed me the vineyards. It was so beautiful.
She said she had decided the harvest for red wines would be on 18th October.
She told me Moon is into Cancer on the day !

Then I went to Ryokan, Japanese traditional style hotel, and had a gorgeous dinner with Takeda wines.
It was one of the happiest dinner for me.
