We were greeted with a glass of bubbly sparkling – Waipara Hills Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough Cuvée NV, a fresh appetizing bubbly to boost our appetite before the courses started. Special occasion?! Well, it’s the once a while wine gathering that a friend of mine from Evergrape Wine Community planned, where we paid an amount of money to enjoy the wine and Japanese food pairing in Senjyu Japanese Restaurant.

Starter – Aigamo
Japanese smoked duck with wasabi yuzu sauce
A refreshing and appetizing starter we loved. The smoked duck slices alone were good; they went even better with the thin slices of lemon!

We had this paired with Vignerons de Caractere Vacqueyras Blanc Seigneur de Fontimple; love its creamy full body and it compatible well with our seafood. The unagi was a little oily to my liking, thanks to have the special strawberry sauce that washed down the greasiness of the tempura.

First main course – Kinoko To Kobe Beef
Sliced Kobe beef roll with Enoki and Shimeji mushroom; the Kobe beef slices were done right, rolling up the crunchy earthy mushrooms. Love the art pieces decorated all over the plate. They were all edible.

Second main course – Foie Gras Wagyu Beef Steak
Wagyu beef steak with goose liver; the foie gras was a letdown as it was not as succulent and juicy one as we expected.

Or the Lamb which I forgot to take down the name.

The shochu was steamed and then flamed up to release the alcohol content in the shochu.

Dessert – Homemade Japanese Oreo Ice Cream and paired with Vignerons de Caratere Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise Bouquet des Dentelles; a very fragrant dessert wine with a mix of peach and fruit and ended with a fresh hint of honey. Ahhh, lovely scented desserts wine but not the sweet ending as the ice cream was tad sweet to my liking. The ice cream was nothing very impressive.
