Great purity and acidity, and a touch of reserved tropical fruit. Who says you have to pair salmon roe with champagne? Works nicely with this — 5 months ago
Sakana dinner second time with Wilson Mabel 6/15/22 and again as with Altenberg last time basically matched perfectly with almost all the wonderful dishes. Outshone the Grand Cru Riesling Schlossberg easily. Perfect combo of fruits stones earthiness liveliness that complemented all the varieties. Only big exception was the complex Uni bowl of shiso leaf overlaid with mixture of uni wagu scallop salmon roe scallop yuzu jelly. Riesling was worse on that wonderful dish. — 19 days ago

Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They'd wish me one more day to stay
But since it fell into my lot
That I should go and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
Fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate'er befalls
Then gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
Week, months, years will pass. But I will miss you every single day 💙 — 25 days ago
