Tasting notes - Feb 24.
A clutch of blinded wines that recently made me pause, and an unrelated Tonkatsu picture from Tokyo in November. I had very low expectations for the meal, I'd just landed and the restaurant, name forgotten, was within a department store. . . How amazingly wrong I was. Next level crunch and meaty juiciness. Simple, but superb.
The wines.
J.B Becker Kabinett Trocken Riesling 2005. My last bottle. I've forgotten where I got this from, but I've been holding back on this, trying not to open it prematurely. I figure this, a dry German riesling, is a blind tasting ace, I just need to mask the green glass. . . Vinolok sealed. Clear and bright, it behaves like a 5-10 year old. A sulphurous nose - which I discern as a woolly jumper.
