We ate out a lot during our stay back in Japan, but we also had some dinners at home.
On the final evening, we had the smoked duck and duck hamburg steaks...they were screaming for Burgundy red. We also made Niigata Koshihikari (from Uonuma, Niigata) rice with Tomoko's donabe (double-lid rice cooker, Kamado-san)!
Here are some of the wines we had at home in the last few dinners.
