200?. Saizaria House Wine. Saizaria. 1060 yen

Can't remember out of 5 stars.

Served exclusively at the Plas-talian family restaurant Saizaria, this 1500ml artillery shell is pure Bacchic trouble.

Its deservedly wild reputation comes more from the geography of the restaurant (and the price) than the taste of the wine itself. Besides being the Mos Isly Cantina of foreigners, the Nishicho Saizaria lies between a Shidax kareoke joint, the Ajito noise dome, a tattoo parlor, James's crash pad, the hostess district of Sakuragichu, and the crosswalk where Daiji kicked that stranger in the face. So basically after drinking a few cheap salvos of wine, you're flush with cash and already where trouble starts.

As for the taste, it tastes like red wine.

  1. By "James' crash pad", which do you mean?

  2. don't be fooled by the CIC saizeriya's 10PM closing time--if you get started right after you get off work, there's plenty of time to frighten earnest students just trying to get in some extra study time at the international center.
