Domaine D'aupilhac

Authentique, this wine was made for the cereberation of his daughter's birthday.

cigarette to cigar

Recently, I change to smoking mini cigars. I don't feel like inhaling since I've got a hyperventilation by autonomic nerve imbalance. but I like the smell of my favorite cigarette. it is similar nuance to cigars. Therefore, I've changed mini cigars. noone inhale cigars, you know, just puff. I'm looking for my favorite mini cigar now.

This is what I puff now, Monteros Cazadores. it's nice. I also like Partagaz club, cohiba cigarillo and montecristo cigarillo. Ofcourse I like cigar, but I can't afford to buy them frequently.


It was my favorite cigarette, Gitanes. I will puff it like cigar when I have no time to enjoy mini cigars.

weekend meals

I cooked those meals last weekend. Chirashizushi, Pasta, and Curry.






This wine was divine! it's very rich. what a splendid wine!

Absinthe

Absinthe, It was a barred liqueur. It said that many people died for this, Because there were an element making people addict. But recently, it's rereleased. the element is pitted. There are many taste Absinthe. some are sweet, some are dry. I prefer dry taste. I like this absinthe and another one made in Czech.

Clos Bagatelle

Clos Bagatelle, Saint Chinian. It's made with Carignan mainly. It't a Languedoc wine. Ofcourse, it's nice in room temperature, but You can chill it a little too.

chicken masala curry

Since I've read a special topic about south Indian masala curry in a magazine, I sometimes make masara curry this summer. Today's curry is chicken masala curry. I've added some cutted Japanese burdock root. Usually, We use the burdock root for Japanese cuisine, kinpira gobo, miso soup, boiled salada etc..

月下美人(selenicereus) 2006!

It's flowered this summer. In addition, There are 4 flowers in full bloom tonight! Very strong smelling. Selenicereus(Gekka Bijin in Japanese) is a cactus family.

tonight and last weekend.

Just a note.

Last weekend, I brought this wine and pizza. It's easy to swallow and go together with pizza at the time. sorry, I didn't take a photo of pizza. It was so yummy that I can't do that. and I was starving.


Tonight, I've opened this beer. I like drinking beer in the hot summer!

Yannick Amirault

This wine taste rich. Sometimes, I feel Cabernet Flanc as if it's not ripen grape yet like greeny. But this is not. it's strong, but it's also easy to swallow somehow. So that I've drunk more than usual. got little drunk on it. like the label.

lou mazet

lou mazet, Languedoc, Domain D'aupilhac. this is the wine I've opened last Sunday. It's very nice balanced, I think. It's tasty, nice smell, and juicy, but not too thick. I just enjoy drinking it with mind in neutral. it's easy to swallow. I think it's suitable for a meal with close pals. you can enjoy it casually.

dégustasion juillet

We've enjoyed the wine tasting after a while.

First of all, We've opened a petillant. It's nice as beginning. little sweet.




Ah! Just what I wanna drink! I've sipped his wine after a while. Marc Pesnot, he has made AOC muscadet, but recently, He's decided not to make wine according to AOC. Wow.. He describes the reason on the back label.very smart description!

Philippe Jambon. It's the first time to drink his wine. I've got a feeling it's spicy. I couldn't believe it's gamay. I'm happy to experience another gamay wine! I like that!



This wine is made by Jean David. Why doesn't it has the label? well, it hasn't commoditized yet. My favorite wine shop owner has brought us this wine directly to hear customers opinion. He's visited many winaries recently, kind a souvenir. it's no SO2! Wow.. I've tasted his wine before. I don't know what varieties are in this wine though, my opinion, this wine is easier to swallow. I've noticed that this wine got empty firstly, you know what I mean? I think it would be nice if it's possible to import to Japan.

Domaine de la combe. I don't know the detail, very nice. it's nice balanced. I've tasted a Beaune wine after a while.



I like the wine like this. I should've noted when I tasted. At least, I've got a feeling that I wanna taste it once.

a nice hot day for a chilled wine

I've opened a wine after a while. Pacal Simonutti. I liked his red wines, and this is the first time to taste his white wine. very nice.

a morning

I caught his/her eyes at a morning this week when I'd opened the shutter of my room. He was grooming then like washing face at morning.

a thief sneaking!

17th, June, around 2pm, There was a thief sneaking into a house somewhere in Yokohama. He remains at large since we've found him... All we know now is that he is small, fast, wear black clothing, and he has a tail. Call us when you find him or the suspicious guy like him!

China tea

Ludens in June. We took a china tea lesson at this time. There were 3 kinds of tea, 2 kinds of Fujian and one Jasmin tea. We tasted 3 times at each tea leaves.

umegae mochi

It's a baked rice cake in Fukuoka, located in Kyushu, the south of Japan. Our neighbor has brought it as a souvenir. She is from Fukuoka, and so is my mother. So that, she brings this rice cake when she goes home. umegae mochi is famous to be sold in Dazaifu Tenmangu shrine. it has bean paste in it as an usual rice cake. it said that the mochi, "ume-ga-e mochi" derives from an old women baked the mochi sticked with ume-branch to solace the death of a person in the shrine in the old days. it will be tasty if you can bite the mochi just baked. it's the kinda cake you will say "one more!".

fusilli con salsa fegato

Tonight, I made a fusilli pasta with liver sauce(fusilli con salsa fegato?). It's little hot and rich sauce.

rose d'un jour

I've sipped this wine with the film, tokyo story yestarday. The title is unique. Rose d'un jour, "a rose in a day". very simple title. Usually, it's supposed to be writen "rose d'anjou". but this wine is a vin de table, table. it can't afford to be named as rose d'anjou. amusing word game. The wine maker challenge to make a good wine. as if it doesn't matter the specification. it tastes like apple jam, honey fristly. little sweet. I think it needs to be chilled for a while before drink.

tokyo story

Tokyo story, filmed in 1953. This is a family drama which an elderly couple visited his son and daughter who live in tokyo.

Laramon

Domaine des marquises, Laramon, vin de table. I don't know the detail, but it's a natural wine, I think. I will enjoy it for a couple of day.
