A memorable dinner. Fine food.
And yes, Rieslings are a fantastic match for Japanese cuisine
Wine scribe, author and wine judge, Huon Hooke, provided his tasting notes which I will post later today when I have the time
Amazing Ray, all looks very tasty and the wines would have capped the food off very well. Plenty of humidity about too by the looks of the bottles.
No shortage of good Japanese restaurants in Sydney these days.
Azuma has been around for a long time, but has kept up with the times.
It is still my favourite.
Riesling is my absolute favourite white wine.
I wanted to showcase its versatility with Japanese food.
Yes, the humidity would have been 100%
Almost 2 days of non-stop rain.
A very enjoyable night, if a trifle excessive.
So many wonderful wines.
I can organise the same dinner again with the wines that had to be left out.
I was feeling a tad delicate the next day

Japanese food can do that to you.
Wine tasting notes by noted wine judge, critic and author, Huon Hooke
The wine looks good. Most of the fish looks underdone.
My (Irish-Scots) wife absolutely would starve at this dinnerThe wine looks good. Most of the fish looks underdone.
The wine is a who’s who of some of the best Riesling producers on the planet at the moment
More than happy to oblige.
Although I find myself frequenting a smaller number of restaurants allowing BYO (bring-your-own)
