I am very happy when I find a dish that is good for my health, delicious, and makes me feel happy. This time, during shopping in Ginza, I visited "Enoteca" and enjoyed delicious champagne in the afternoon. I would love to visit again. See you next time!

While shopping at 2955 Ginza SIX, I took a break from the heat and prevented heatstroke by enjoying a "orange beer". As I moved a bit, I saw a sign for a "cooling wine bar" in front of a wine shop. I couldn't resist cooling down for a second time! This time, I opted for wine to prevent heatstroke. I had a 2021 Chardonnay Fermented en Barrica for 1100 yen (tax included) and my wife had a glass of Wistaflo Malbec Sanjoveze from Bodega Norton for 660 yen (tax included). We also enjoyed some cheese for 550 yen (tax included). We relaxed in a comfortable booth seating area and enjoyed the wine and cheese. It was a great way to take a break and cool down. The wine had a perfect balance of fruitiness and oakiness, complementing the cheese well. My wife was very happy with her sparkling wine choice. It was a satisfying and delicious break.

I used it for a meeting (first gathering?). It's always crowded on weekends no matter when you go. It's a wine bar located on the B2 floor of GINZA SIX. You can enjoy a glass of wine starting from 550 yen. Champagne is available from around 1,000 yen per glass. There is no seating fee.

It's Saturday night at Ginza Six. The otter who enjoyed Kingdom in Shinjuku. As expected, it's better not to go for Crayon Shin-chan. However, despite the strong male actors making a group appearance, in the end, it was Masami Nagasawa's tantalizing legs that stole the show, haha \(//∇//)\ Anyway, I took the subway to Ginza. The kaiseki dinner is at 8:30, so I made use of the gap time by savoring Masami's pure white legs and imagining tonight's course content while having a solo pre-dinner drink at Enoteca. As I checked the wine list, oh, I spotted IDDA. It was a Carricante from Etna that Angelo Gaja collaborated with local farmers on. I remember being impressed by the first release I purchased online a few years ago. The inviting words of the female staff at the restaurant, "Our appetizers are..." made my heart race \(//∇//)\ There's no way a man could resist being lured in by those eyes looking up at him! "Then, a mixed nuts platter, right?" "Our cheese assortment and prosciutto are also at their best right now..." Nah, you probably see me as a sea otter instead of a duck here, haha. "I can't eat that much right before dinner, sorry, haha." And so, I managed to decline the offer while being pulled back by my heartstrings, and sat back in my chair, sipping away. Is Carricante a native grape variety of Sicily? It's not that mainstream as a varietal blend, but it's the renowned Gaja after all! It was refreshing and well-rounded with a nice aroma. Well then, shall we take a stroll around Nana-chome and Hachi-chome, and walk to Nishi-Shimbashi? And that's how the meal ended.

This is a wine bar located on the B2 floor of GINZA SIX. You can enjoy a glass of wine starting from 550 yen. Champagne is available from around 1,000 yen per glass. There is no seating fee. I often use this place for meeting up rather than after shopping.

It's getting hot, so I'm going to enjoy this shaved ice! Adult shaved ice! Hmm, the price went up, how much was it last year? I started eating while chatting with my friends. It's really delicious! Even though my head feels a bit cold. This place is popular, so luckily we managed to get a seat after a short wait, so we could relax! I want to eat this a few more times this year.

After dining at Sushi Arai, head over here. It is located on the B2 floor of Ginzasix. Reserve your seat and then place your order at the counter. I ordered the Bellavista for 1,650 yen and the Cheese of the day, which was Cheddar Cheese for 660 yen. There were three types of cheese available, and I chose the regular one, which turned out to be Cheddar Cheese. It's nice that you can casually enjoy a variety of drinks here.

Today, I went to Margaux in the morning again. The flower group has become a quality that attracts customers as soon as Margaux is available. I arrived before the opening time, it's hopeless, haha. If you become a member of the Enoteca, you can use a 10% coupon multiple times during your birthday month, so it's a good deal. But if you go to events too often, it can be tough! When asked if I don't order wine snacks, I reply that on this day, I will drink Margaux with Latour and Mouton as snacks. Of course, Latour and Mouton are the main stars, so I think wine is the correct snack. They are from the 2012 series. Latour has a heavy and solid aroma, with a fruity first attack on the palate. The tannins leave a slight lingering sensation on the tongue. There is a hint of leather-like umami in the distance, but it's very mellow. It feels different from Pinot, but it's good in its own way. Mouton Rothschild has a berry aroma. It is overall mellow, with a rounder feel than Margaux. It's well-balanced, with no sharp edges. The acidity, subtle bitterness, and mellow tannins are enjoyable. The aroma is nice. Margaux, our idol, has an elegant aroma. It still has a youthful scent, with lively tannins. There's a tangy acidity and a subtle bitterness. The velvety tannins have a melting texture that is sensuous. After a while, you can enjoy a sweet aroma. Today's Margaux is on the sexy side, maybe? It would be nice if there was a bit more depth of umami, but it's lovely how it suddenly winks back at you when you least expect it. Ah, the delightful aromas! I was mesmerized by the scents for a while. 2012 was of high quality, but the weather conditions were a bit tough. Regarding Margaux, I might prefer 2019 after all. I want to surround myself with it.

In the past, there were not many special tastings at the drink corner, but recently, I see that Enoteca events are often held at Ginza Six. However, they only offer wines from Coravin, so some wines may not be available.

Enoteca, a wine shop located inside GINZA SIX, offers not only wine for sale but also seats where you can enjoy a glass of wine. It's a great place to relax and unwind in between shopping in Ginza. On busy days, it can be hard to find a seat, so it's best to visit during off-peak hours if you want to enjoy a drink. The selection of wines varies, but when I visited, they had Champagne available, which I opted for. I also ordered some prosciutto as a snack. The chilled Champagne was delicious and refreshing.

It's Monday night. I'm at Ginza Six. Tonight, I'm going to have sushi for dinner, but before that, I decided to visit the enoteca at Ginza Six. I remember visiting here at the beginning of the month, but I'm sure the wine list has been updated. As I approach the counter, I see GAJA's Borgari white wine. It's too expensive to buy a bottle, so I'll just try a glass. GAJA is the Italian wine that opened my eyes to the world of Italian wines over twenty years ago when I was treated to a single vineyard Barbaresco near Ivrea. I've enjoyed comparing wines like Sori San Lorenzo, Costa Russi, and Sori Tildin, along with seasonal Alba white truffles. The combination left me in awe, enjoying the fine wines and treasures of Alba. GAJA's reputation was already at its peak, but then they purchased vineyards in Bolgheri, known for Sassicaia, and created the Ca'Marcanda lineup. Now, I'm tasting the Ca'Marcanda white wine. I swirl the glass without checking the varietals, and I can smell citrus aromas. It reminds me of a California Chardonnay with intense fruitiness and a Loire Sauvignon Blanc with refreshing acidity. I take a sip and taste the mature flavors. The complex bouquet captivates my senses. After a quick search, I find out it's a blend of Vermentino, Viognier, and Fiano. The light blend typical of southern Italian bulk wines transforms into a superb Super Tuscan in GAJA's hands. It's truly GAJA magic. The wine's name, VISTAMARE, means "sea view" in Italian. It brings to mind the view of the Terroir-covered hills of Bolgheri overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea at sunset. It seems like I got carried away with describing the wine more than the restaurant, but only a place like this enoteca could offer such a fantastic wine by the glass. And with that, thank you for the wonderful experience.

Merry Christmas! I attended a Christmas limited event at an enoteca. There were a few seats available, but also standing room. The prices were reasonable and there was a wide variety of snacks available. You could also order water. The staff at the restaurant were excellent, and I felt very elegant while enjoying my drinks. At the event, I tried a tasting of three Louis Roederer champagnes! It cost around 4840 yen. Each tasting was 50ml. Here are my thoughts on each: - NV Louis Roederer Collection 243: Refreshing bubbly with a mineral touch, slightly sweet with almond aroma, and a nice dry finish. Very easy to drink. - 2014 Louis Roederer Brut Vintage: Sweet fruity aroma with a hint of bitterness and a salty finish. Very fine bubbles and a subtle honey sweetness. - 2014 Louis Roederer Cristal: Clear salt aroma, delicate bubbles, and a relaxing aroma when swirled. Found a Montrachet too! - 2020 Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru Blanc Gagnard: Elegant aroma, tannins, minerals, and a long, rich finish with a buttery texture, slight sweetness, and nutty flavor. Each wine had its own unique charm and tasting them was quite exciting. The event was full of tempting choices, making it a thrilling experience!

It's Friday evening in Ginza Rokuchome. Tonight, I have plans to have sushi in Shirokanetakanawa. I can't wait until 8 o'clock to celebrate the great victory of Poichi-maru sinking the invincible fleet. So, I decided to make a quick stop at Enoteca in Ginza SIX. I chose a red wine from Friuli-Venezia Giulia in northern Italy, a blend of Pinot Nero and local grape varieties. It's like a Burgundy Pinot Noir. The winemaker, Yellman, is truly skilled. I remember enjoying Yellman's Traminer Aromatico the last time I was here. Perhaps Enoteca is the importer. Anyway, I enjoyed a glass of wine with a nut assortment, read a paperback book for about an hour, and then it was time to say goodbye.

It's Wednesday night in Ginza. Tonight, I have plans to have sushi in the basement of Nana-chome. I'm looking forward to it! It's the season for fragrant sushi like kohada and matsubara, as well as fresh ingredients like kawahagi and aji. But before that, I need to calm down my cute stomach, or I might end up doing something reckless. Since I have some time before the sushi, I'll go to this place in Ginza Six. Oh no, they don't have Italian white wine. They do have a red wine like Tinello or Barbaresco, but those are too strong without any snacks. Hmm? They have a white wine from Yoichi. When I asked a very handsome guy about the grape variety, he said it's a secret that hasn't been revealed yet. "Oh, so you mean I should undress it first and imagine it?" I immediately placed an order. I sat back in a chair against the wall and swirled the wine slowly. I tasted it and thought, "I can't tell. This acidity is like Pinot Gris, but the silky smoothness reminds me of Kerner, and the aroma is similar to Sauvignon Blanc." I diagnosed it myself. Well, I guess I win, right? But what am I winning? Anyway, I enjoyed the high-quality white wine from Yoichi and now it's time to head to the sushi restaurant. And that's a wrap!

It's Saturday night at Ginza Six. Tonight, I have a reservation for a kaiseki meal at Ginza Ichome starting at 8 o'clock. I'll probably be enjoying some sake, so I better cleanse my picky stomach beforehand. Relaxing on the sofa at Ginza Six, I wonder where to go next. Ah, there's an enoteca on the basement floor. It's always crowded, so I never had the chance to visit before. But as I arrive, it's past 7 o'clock and there are fewer people. I secure a seat and carefully select today's glass of wine. Ah, there's Yerman's Traminer Aromatico. I believe it's from Veneto, known for covering a U2 song. I swirl it lightly and take a sip. Ah, indeed, it's aromatic. Yerman never disappoints. A premium white wine like this truly soothes the mind and body. Now, shall we take a stroll beyond Showa Street to the edge of Ichome? And that's a wrap for tonight's feast.

I stopped by while shopping in Ginza...lol lol First, Louis Roederer Collection 242 for 1,650 yen/glass I intended to have just one glass, but ended up having a second glass of Valentin Leflaive Extra Brut Blanc for 2,200 yen/glass Drink and compare without feeling pressured by the reasonable prices A true holy place for wine lovers.

I received an email from Enoteca-san (a normal email sent to members) saying that I attended a producer event by "Louis Roederer" because I wanted to try the "Cristal" ©︎ Yasuo?. I had a total of 6 glasses, including NV to Vintage (Millésime) and the two glasses of "Cristal" I was looking for. Some say that "Cristal" is consumed like a paperweight in some places, but my partner and I were really impressed by how amazing it is. Even if it is chosen as a paperweight by certain circles, it must have been a necessary consequence of this greatness. The event cost was 12,100 yen x 2. As a bonus (related to Cristal), when Yasuo was governor, Nagano Appellation Controlle (N.A.C.) was established with the cooperation of Shinya Tasaki and others in Nagano Prefecture. I used to think he was just pretending with wine in hand at the governor's office, but it turns out it was different. What's amazing about N.A.C. is that initially it was designed to cover not only wine but also agricultural products and their processed products, and it has been introduced to sake and rice in Japan. I heard that in France, there is AOC for bell peppers too, but is that true?

I was strolling around Ginza with a friend and got thirsty, so we came here. Since we were already full, it was great to find a place where we could just have some wine. It was hot, so I had a glass of white wine, which was refreshing and delicious. The prices were reasonable, and we were able to relax and take our time unexpectedly.

I wanted to try the adult shaved ice so bad! I missed out on it last year. A friend recommended this place to me. You can casually enjoy a little wine here. It's always packed, but I was able to get a seat today! It quickly filled up again. I had the adult shaved ice, Glass Pire, and my friend had white wine. Since it seems to be a one-person operation, it might be a good idea to order some snacks to share. It's always busy, but the atmosphere is nice.

It's Friday night. Today, I have a kaiseki dinner planned in Uchisaiwai-cho from 8:30, but I decided to make the most of my free time by having a solo drink at Ginza SIX from 7:30. I hurriedly walked over, hoping to find a seat, but oh no, surprisingly, it seems to be full. Luckily, there was one standing table available, so I quickly secured it and ordered... oh, I spotted Antinori's Cervaro. I think it's from Umbria, a white wine mainly made from Chardonnay. As I sat at the table reading a paperback book, my glass arrived. It was clearly chilled as the surroundings were overcast. Swirling and bringing it close to my nose, I could smell typical citrus notes. Grapefruit, lime, pineapple were all there! It may lack the fruitiness of California wines, but it makes up for it with a refreshing acidity. After about half an hour of leisurely sipping, I decided to head to Uchisaiwai-cho. And that's it for the meal.
