Di Punto — Restaurant in Yokosuka

My friends, let me tell you about a sangria so sublime, so utterly divine, it transcends the very boundaries of beverage and becomes an experience. This was no mere pitcher of wine and fruit; it was a liquid sonnet, a ruby-red epic composed by the gods of summer.

The moment the glass was in my hand, a perfume of pure enchantment rose to meet me. It was the scent of a sun-drenched strawberry patch after a gentle rain—earthy and sweet, tinged with the faintest whisper of citrus and the deep, mysterious soul of a Spanish field. Each sip was a story. The first taste was a bright, effervescent burst of pure strawberry, not the syrupy sweetness of a confection, but the clean, honest flavor of a perfectly ripe berry plucked directly from the vine.

As it danced across my tongue, the plot thickened. A smooth, dry rosé, a silent protagonist, wove its way through the narrative, offering a floral counterpoint that kept the strawberry from becoming a one-note melody. Then, the supporting cast of citrus arrived: a spritz of lemon for a jolt of brightness, and the deeper, more resonant note of orange, a low hum of warmth that grounded the entire symphony.

But the true genius was in the subtlety. Instead of the usual heavy-handed brandy, there was a quiet undercurrent of something else—a hint of elderflower liqueur, perhaps? It was like finding a secret garden within a forest, a flash of something unexpected and utterly beautiful.

And the texture! This was no watery disappointment. It was as if the liquid had captured the very essence of the strawberries themselves, a silken, full-bodied nectar that felt like drinking pure velvet. The fruit, plump and saturated, had absorbed the wine's character and released its own, a perfect exchange of flavor.

I didn't just drink this sangria; I communed with it. It was the taste of a long-lost summer afternoon, of laughter under a golden sun, of a fleeting moment of perfect joy. To call it the best sangria I've ever had would be an injustice. It was the greatest love affair I've ever had with a beverage, and I will forever chase the ghost of that perfect,...

Pizzas tasted great and they kept serving us warm, fresh bread our entire stay and made sure we always had water. We also bought a cheaper red wine (2018 Chile) which wasn't amazing but we got what we paid for! No complaints.

The atmosphere was very warm and cozy. There were surprisingly many people for a Tuesday night and it was rather lively but the servers still paid us great attention! The bathroom and restaurant were also very clean. Excellent...

Lovely ambience and a nice selection of wine. There selection of pairings is a bit limited. There was no meat and cheese board for example only one or the other. I gave it 3 stars simply because there was a table charge that wasn't communicated to my group. The charge came up as bread on all our receipts. We had initially thought the bread was part of the cheese board we ordered. I would still go again but that lapse in communication was not...
