After having reported on the lunch boxes served at the 2nd Mt. Fuji Network Forum held in Granship in Shizuoka City I came back in the evening as the same doctors were enjoying a feast of cheese, wines and sake organized by Ms. Keiko Kubota of Gentil restaurant and her friends!
I wonder if the doctors realized they were sampling some of the finest and rarest sake in Japan made in Shizuoka Prefecture!
Ms. Keiko Kubota is the only Grand Chevalier de Taste Fromage in Japan!
Japanese wines brought by Nagashima Saketen Co.!
Mr. Denbei Kawamura, the Godfather of Shizuoka sake in great company!
The staff of the day, including some famous Shizuoka Gastronomes!
Almost ready…
I love blue cheese!
“Sakura”, elected the best cheese made in Japan, Tokachi, Hokkaido!
Charming bamboo cheese sticks!
Epoisses from my home, Bourgogne!
Fourme d’Ambert!
Italian cheese wrapped in Japanese cherry tree leaves!
Tempting, aren’t they?
Ms. Kubota serving some very lucky doctors!
About time I visit Gentil Restaurant!
