In addition to wine, there were also rare Japanese sake and shochu.When the 1987 Château Mouton Rothschild, one of the five great châteaux of Bordeaux, was served, I couldn't help but smile.It’s surprising that pairings include wines worth JPY 100,000 to 200,000.There was also a 1988 Chablis served.The cost-performance ratio might exceed the 5-point scale and reach 10 points.
