/ How did an ordinary wine-loving young man come to be called the great 」 of the Japanese wine world in 「? Half a century ago, the author went to 「 for the first time as a person in charge of alcoholic drinks at Ogawaken 」 in front of Shinbashi Station. There were hardly any wine books or restaurant guides in Japan. Nevertheless, the author read as many related books as he could get, and under the guidance of a knowledgeable person, he opened the door of a Parisian restaurant as if he were a 「 wine expert 」. It was cold when I ordered a high-quality red wine. He was taught that red wines should be chambray (heated at room temperature), so he warned the waiter (there was no sommelier in the small restaurant). The waiter smiled and started warming the wine with a stove! These experiences were repeated. The wine knowledge he read and listened to in Japan broke down with a sound. Thus, the author's full-scale training in wine began. From the alleys of Paris half a century ago to the latest wine situation, this truly luxurious hansei-ki filled with failure and discovery, beautifully captured with a brush of weakness!
