It was a long time since my last visit. On this day, there was a wine tasting and exam for the Sommelier Association's Bronze Class. After the exam, everyone felt like drinking wine. All the participants passed the exam! Congratulations. - La Capitale de Baronnerc Baron Philippe de Rothschild: A wine from the South of France, owned by Baron Philippe de Rothschild, the Chateau Mouton Rothschild. It is made with the same method and barrels as Mouton Rothschild, with a concentration of flavors, rich tannins, long finish, elegance, and complexity. A top-notch wine from the South of France with black fruit, pepper, chocolate, cocoa, and cigar notes. - Becker Chardonnay: Known for the fox logo, Friedrich Becker, the top producer from Germany! Made from Chardonnay grown in the best area of limestone sandstone soil in the village of Schweigen in the Palatinate. It has aromas of lemon, grapefruit, and minerals, with sharp acidity, fruitiness, sweetness, and saltiness. A refined wine with elegant aroma and mineral notes. - Barley soda mix. - Salt and pepper grilled chicken wings. Simple and delicious, crispy on the outside. - Tomato and avocado salad. A simple salad with tomato and avocado, topped with bonito flakes. - Oden with daikon radish, fish cake, and white konjac. The broth is flavorful, and the soup is finished to the last drop. - Cheese fries. Deep-fried camembert, a perfect snack with wine. - Homemade curry. A blend of two types of curry roux cooked and frozen to intensify the flavor. Served with freshly cooked Yayoihime rice. The Keyma curry vibe is also present. I intended to stay for a short time, but ended up lingering. The addition of karaoke has made the place even more enjoyable.

A small restaurant in Susukino that just started serving lunch from August. I ordered the charcoal-grilled motsu (offal) parent and child bowl and karaage, which caught my eye on the menu, but the curry and onigiri that appeared on TV (Kenkoba Curry Club) are also recommended. The large karaage was well marinated and piping hot, perfect with rice or beer. The parent and child bowl seemed to be made by removing the motsu skewers, with various parts like kinkan (tripe) included, providing a satisfying chewiness. I forgot to take a picture, but the miso soup was made with red miso (Haccho miso). Lunch menu and more are still under consideration, so be sure to check their Facebook page for updates.

The owner of the bright and energetic restaurant exudes a cheerful aura and seems to have good communication skills. If you go when it's not crowded, you can enjoy the restaurant even if you go alone. I visited this place with a fellow reviewer after having an eel course and being curious about it. The small dishes restaurant "Shion" has a unique charm that sets it apart from others, with the ability to diagnose people based on statistical data and birthdates, which I found quite accurate and interesting. The white and purple world inside the restaurant is bright and cozy. The mama's talk made the experience enjoyable. The appetizer of simmered carrots, daikon, chicken, and lotus root had a gentle and delicious taste. I wanted to try more dishes, but I was too full. The highball and red wine I drank were standard in taste. The red wine, Château Toinet Fombrauge Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, was elegant with a smooth taste and a full-bodied structure. I researched the wine online and found varying prices with little information on Japanese sites. I enjoyed the combination of cheese and wine.

I heard that this place offers delivery, so this time I tried their fried chicken for takeout. Just as I had heard, it was delicious even when cold, with juicy meat that went well with rice.
