Mariage - Fukushima

Probably a nice place with company and you're drinking wine.. personally it's not good. I've been to better wine bars were I both know the sommelier personally and to some were I hate the place and the master is awful and that's was even better than this.. slow service, no communication to guests. Probably a well informed sommelier but not a place to go to. No by yourself or date..maybe for an overpriced business dinner perhaps.. Not recommended.

５大シャトーをはじめ、本格に堪能できます。オーナーはソムリエであり、ソムリエ協会の福島支部長でもあります。

If I were earnestly pursuing intimacy with a date, this might be a good place to take her for drinks and nibbles. But andropausal academicians like me are inclined to favor cost-performance over performance anxiety. This is a cozy below-ground venue directly below Kurenai no Ushi. The fact that both establishments serve wine and Carlsberg Beer led me to wonder if they share ownership or management, but no, Mariage and Kurenai no Ushi are separate businesses. Price per calorie? High, but the nibbles I had were delicious: an otōshi that included a bite of tomato, a piece of soft cheese, and some greens; a dish of semi-dry marinated tomato, said to be imported from Italy; and a cup of minestrone soup. I enjoyed these first with a glass of pinot noir that was not on the menu, and, toward the end, with a novel cocktail called Hikarigaoka, credited to a former employee of a university that occupies a part of Fukushima City with that place name. Total cost ¥3153, or a little under US$30 at current rates. Unlike Wine and Gyouza Bar Terui (also reviewed), which keeps good red wine on ice, Mariage serves theirs at room temperature. Both of these places are above my everyday tastes in dining out, but might earn occasional visits in the future.

There are several kinds of foods, but there are several menus. It’s not enough for wine at all, but it’s like something at first. However, if you talk, please tell the owner sommelier who is passionate about wine. It is a nice atmosphere store that can be used for dating.

Very nice bar with cute touches and decorations on the cocktail glasses
