Nov 23
I went to Oyama-Fudou, a famous temple in Kanagawa taking one hour half from Tokyo by train.
I saw wonderful red leaves there.

I bought a famous Oyama-Tofu and made a Tounyu-Nabe for dinner.
1st
Chateau Mercian Koshu-Chardonnay
2005 1500 yen
This was a Japanese Nouveau. A lot of Japanese Nouveaus are made as sweet type but this was very elegant dry white wine. I prefer this real fruits taste very much. I felt this was very good balance of Koshu and Chardonnay.

2nd
Cave de Re-Lax Beaujolais Villages
Nouveau 2005 1950 yen
I was sure again the 2005 Beaujolais Nouveau was outstanding. I think we often find a little bitter and stimulus with the Nouveau, but there were no such kind of one with this wine. I enjoyed very much a beautiful fruits taste. It was like a Bourgogne fine red wine. I am usually satisfied by drinking Beaujolais Nouveau once a year but I want to drink 2005 Nouveau more and more. I am sorry we do not have enough stock.
It was also very good for the Tonyu-Nabe.
