I've found some really Sh*ty wine stores here in Tokyo (especially during the summer time, where they leave the cases of wine in the window store front basking in the heat) and I've found some interesting stores where wine geeks frequent; however what I haven't found is an English website/blog dedicated to "the ordinary tokyo wine drinker." So here I am hoping to fill that void.
Working and living in Japan where the Beaujolais Nouveau and Yellow Tail wines are often the highlights of many nomikai's; I hope this blog will help you find some alternatives.
