Margie's selection for her monthly wine dinner for November is Mitsuyoshi Japanese Restaurant. This is the third time we have been here. www.mitsuyoshi-restaurant.com. After last years issue with the group being separated into 5 tables she opted to limit the attendees and have our dinner is a small private room.
A large varied menu but again I opted for the Bento box. It has a bit of everything and I do like variety. This is a large dinner so leftovers did go home with me. It seemed like everyone had a different dish they ordered. No complaints from anyone on the food. Everyone seemed to be happy with their selections.
Big variety of wines including at least six bubblies. A few of the wines I thought did not blend themselves to Japanese food but to each their own. I only tasted about half of what was brought.
A few of the standouts were the Williams Selyem, Dusky Goose and the Clos Pepe. But then I am partial to Pinots.
