Russian River Vineyards, Pinot Noir 2006


I had terrible headache after drinking the wine. I am very sensitive for chemicals and there must be chemical remaining the grapes. Good taste, but regrettable.

Rosso de Montartino 2007


It scented so good, not acidic, smooth but powerful in a way.
I met a guy, Mr. Tsunashige Nishiyama at the Magazine house publisher office.
He is a great guy.. Opened his shop in Nishiazabu.
We would love to dine at his place. It must be worth visiting for everyone.

Petrolo TORRIONE 2002


Regret!! Could not have it as the cork was so bad.
The wine was so powerful and the colour was strong deep reddish burgundy.

Sancerre



Those are from last year, when we enjoyed oysters.
I love the grape, Sauvignon blanc.

White ale by family


The beer was made in summer 2008. 1 and 1/2 years aged in the bottle.
Not bad at all!

Fujidaira 2008 and Gris de Koshu

When having Japanese rice, I stick with Japanese wine. Koshu grapes may be the best to go with Japanese food.

Ekiben, lunch boxes from all over Japan


At this time of the year, the Keio department store sells various Ekiben, which are lunch boxes sold in local train stations. My best 3 Obento (Ekiben) are,
1. Hokkamuri Sushi (sardine, or round herring) from Hokkaido
2. Masu Sushi (Trout fish) from Toyama
3. Kakino-ha sushi (sardine wrapped by Kaki, persimmon leaf) from Nara
