I had a wonderful experience enjoying the wines of KENZO ESTATE. You can enjoy a glass of "Asatsuyu" and "Rindo." The sommelier shared fascinating stories about the winemaker's journey and the rich natural beauty of Napa Valley, leaving me deeply impressed. "Asatsuyu" is characterized by its floral and mellow aroma, and when you take a sip, a refreshing coolness spreads gracefully across your palate. "Rindo" boasts a vibrant dark red hue that hints at the concentrated fruit flavors. Upon tasting, you'll experience a rich flavor profile followed by a long, pleasant finish. I was truly moved by the fact that these award-winning, highly acclaimed wines are crafted by Japanese producers.

My absolute favorite winery, "Kenzo Estate." Their wines are elegant and highly acclaimed worldwide. I had fallen in love with their wines during a previous visit to their Roppongi location, so I decided to revisit at their Ginza branch to enjoy them again. ▽---------------------▽ ○Name: Kenzo Estate Winery Ginza ○Tabelog Rating: 3.51 (as of February 16, 2024) ○5-minute walk from Ginza Station ○Budget: ¥10,000 per person ○Address: GINZA A5 1F・B1F, 5-9-16 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo ○Instagram: Unknown ○Business Hours: 12:00 PM - 1:00 AM ※Closed on Sundays ※Credit cards accepted ※Non-smoking △---------------------△ 【Reservation】 Reservations available 【Crowdedness】 50% full at 11:00 PM on Friday.

The flavors are simply divine. I was particularly moved by the red wine, "Shirin (Rindou) 2020." Its elegant taste with minimal tannins is truly remarkable. I declare it the most impressive red wine I've ever tasted! The Noto Beef Beef Jerky, which reflects their commitment to supporting the disaster-stricken Ishikawa Prefecture, is also exceptional. The rich sweetness of the high-quality fat is perfectly extracted, resulting in a concentrated flavor. Finally, I enjoyed the famous KENZO Curry. This curry, simmered in cola, boasts a rich and savory flavor with a unique, well-balanced touch of cola acidity. It was a truly blissful experience. Kenzo's wines are truly top-notch. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Kenzo is my favorite. I usually go to the Roppongi location, but this time I visited the Ginza branch for the first time. The straight, elegant counter is beautiful. The wine is, of course, excellent. Food orders are taken until 10 pm, after which only light snacks are available. I arrived after 10 pm on this occasion, so I enjoyed beef jerky, olives, and a curry for my final course. Definitely recommend it for a date!

Behind the heavy doors lies a luxuriously grand space, exuding an air of sophistication. It feels like a hidden haven for adults, with its chic color scheme and refined ambiance. The restaurant, which is attached to a wine shop, offers exquisite cuisine perfectly paired with wine. While I only had a glass of wine this time, the restaurant's menu is truly tempting. Kenzo Estate wines are a personal favorite, and I was delighted to be able to enjoy a glass here. The dessert wine, Yumeku, was a dream come true with its exquisite aroma and elegant sweetness. Every staff member was incredibly kind, attentive, and thoughtful. It was a truly blissful experience.
