A Japanese wine seminar was held in the Ambassador’s residence on 24 November. Mr. Yamaguchi, director of the Mercian Corporation Europe Office, explained the allure of Japanese wine in form of a wine tasting event to approximately 30 guests, including wine specialists, import traders, journalists and other professionals. The participants tasted six varieties of both red and white Japanese wine and listened to Mr. Yamaguchi’s explanation with keen interest. On the same day, a second seminar was held at Cercle Gaulois, where Ambassador Ishii joined with about 60 wine lovers and a lively question and answer session was held.
