TOKYO WINE SOCIETY TASTING
Japanese Wine Study
July 7, 2017
|
|
We had an extraordinary research session of Japanese wines, not as regular TWS wine tasting event. We tasted some notable Japanese wines (white and red) in order to check whether Japanese wines have really improved amid media hypes about the new wave of excellent Japanese wines. After we tasted, we just counted the bests for White/Red, and the result is as shown below. And thank you Dr. Okuyama for host this event at your meeting room.
