Japanese wine is often drunk at home these days.
I had an image of Japanese wine as sweet, juicy, and thin, and I wanted to drink French or Italian wine. I used to think that I wanted to drink French or Italian wine, but now I have come to think of it as a different genre, and I really like it. For example, I think that major beer and craft beer are different even if they are the same beer, and I wondered why I was looking for and comparing Japanese wines with Bordeaux or Burgundy. Japanese wine has a delicious taste that can be drunk on its own, and you don't get tired of drinking it. It makes you want to drink it naturally.
I don't like the sticky sweetness of Japanese wine with a candy-like aroma, so I consult with the store staff about this, try the recommended wine, and then tell them my impressions and preferences again and move on to the next one.... This is the same when buying sake and when drinking it at a restaurant. It is natural to have likes and dislikes, and as you drink and eat more and more, your taste buds and preferences will expand.
I can drink many things now, but it was terrible in the beginning.
This is good, this is not good, and so on,
I can drink this, this is good, this is good, this is good, this is good, this is good, this is good, this is good, this is good, this is good, this is good...! I am still grateful to him for expanding my taste buds and I am still grateful to the many people who have taught me how to enjoy delicious sake and food.
May sake and Japanese wine spread more widely. End.
