Sunday 14th May 2006
A day spent rediscovering my tastebuds - a decent espresso in the afternoon, then later on dinner back at home using the really excellent cheese George brought with him from the UK, and afterwards a bit of a review of my new whisky collection.

In the afternoon, whilst out shopping in Shinjuku, we popped into a branch of Segafredo for a quick espresso.
|
16:05:00
Make mine a double! It's been a while since I've had anything resembling a decent espresso, and whilst no doubt Segafredo wouldn't quite meet Lorenzo's high standards, it was certainly far better than what I've become used to recently (i.e. -shudder- Starbucks)!

For tonight's dinner I made two dishes, first a sort of mediterranean stew...

...which I served with a side order of pasta in cheese sauce, using the rather excellent Islay cheddar which George had brought with him from the UK.

Another shot of my dinner!

When George came to stay this weekend he brought two very good malts with him, and suddenly my drinks cupboard has been transformed from a few odd bottles, to an interesting and diverse collection.

Moving from left to right, we have a 12 Year Old Glenlivet, a 15 Year Old Dalwhinnie, and a 15 Year Old Bladnoch...
|
20:28:42
...further on still a 12 Year Old Caol Ila (from independent bottlers Whisky Galore), and an 18 Year Old Talisker...
|
20:28:56
...and finally over here on the right, two special edition Japanese malts we won in a competition a while back. The first is a Hakushu, and the second a Yamazaki.

Here's the current state of the collection again. A lot more diverse than my previous collection was back in the UK - only one Islay in sight, and a pretty good representative from most of the other major regions.
