Zeka Vineyards

Yummy chirashi for dinner paired with our 2019 Zeka Pinot. The structure, balance and earthiness in the Pinot works so well with Japanese and other Asian foods! Keeps up so well with the asian spices.

Thanks to our partners Clarence and Quan who carries our Pinot Noir and Rosé de Pinot Noir.

On the last leg of our Japan trip, flying from Tokyo to Sapporo, the airline lounge had all sorts of drinks. Alcoholic and non non-alcoholic but they had no food. This is what I managed to buy at their convenience store at the airport, the same place you'd get snacks, books or souvenirs. Just amazing.

For my beer experience in Japan, so far I have tried Kirin NA, Sapporo Classic (only available in Japan), Love Beer (Hokaido local brewery) and I like the Hokaiddo Love Beer the best. Very mild but flavorful. Kirin NA was amazing in that because I don't read Japanese I didn't even realize it was NA until I finished the Beer. Sapporo very much in the same Beer flavor of Tsing Tao. Bit of hop but as the result not as clean to me.

I would even drink the Kirin NA if it is available in US if it weren't for all the carbs. 🍺👍😊
