Wine pairing at Sushi Sakai in Fukuoka for 110,000 yen after tax and service charge.
I find myself going back pretty often more for the wine than sushi now a days.
Usually the rest of their private pairing is better but I think considering its price, they’ve had to accommodate the cost of the La Tache 2019. Spectacular, very floral with stems. Extremely well balanced aromatics with fruit, spiced cinnamon and cardamon. Good acidity and deep pure red fruit.
Pol Roger vinotheque 2002. Brioche, biscuit and short bread. Lots of acidity. Honestly a bit disappointing.
Jacquesson cuvee 742. Pretty good considering price of retail bottle.

Major shoutout to Kenzo Estate. I went there back in the fall and it was amazing.
was it 110k yen for the wine paring? or does that include the 44k yen for the meal itself?
This is fuckin insane! I want to see the bites too!!
