Sommelier Masahiko Mori (R) pours a bottle of 2009 Beaujolais Nouveau wine into the wine spa at the Hakone Yunessun spa resort facilities in Hakone town, Kanagawa prefecture, some 100-kilometre west of Tokyo, on Thursday. As the Beaujolais Nouveau embargo passed and the new vintage is officially uncorked, Hakone Yunessun started the annual 12-day-long Beaujolais Nouveau spa to attract visitors.
