All the food was very good, and extremely fresh. I was told by our wedding coordinator
at Nikko that the chef only allows food to be 3 days old, then it is tossed! Which means he doesn't
freeze anything! XD

We also tried some house wine. Some Champagne and some Red wine. It was
generally mellow and nothing too dry or too strong.
