I went to Yokohama to watch Hakone-Ekiden, a long distance relay race by college students, as usual in every new years. Unfortunately my university did not get a good ranking but I have got a big power by watching big efforts of every students.
After watching the race, I went to Cinquante et un in Chigasaki, very nice French restaurant.
I have a long relationship with Mr. Yamazaki, owner of the restaurant.
The cuisine is classic French but there are a lot of unique idea on the dishes. They were really wonderful.
I also enjoyed professional service by Mr. Yamazaki.

I was surprised at the wine list that have a lot of excellent wines with very reasonable price.

It was the first time I had drunk the Champagne. It was a really good Champagne. I was very impressed by the second Burgundy red. How wonderful it was ! I thought the taste was Grand Cru ! It was really good for "agneau"! It was really really nice lunch.

I had lunch too much with my capacity of stomach. Then I skipped dinner tonight.
