Japanischer Wein vs. Sake – Zwei Welten, ein Genuss

Sake and Japanese wine are two traditional Japanese beverages that are fundamentally different: Sake is brewed from rice, while Japanese wine - like the elegant Koshu - is made from grapes. Sake impresses with its smooth flavor, mild umami, and cultural depth, but is low in acidity and is usually consumed young. Japanese wine scores points with its fresh acidity, diverse aromas, and growing international recognition. White wines made from the Koshu grape and red wines from wineries such as Lumière, Marufuji, and Takahata in particular demonstrate the potential of this emerging wine region. Those who love fine, terroir-influenced wines will find an exciting addition to their classic wine portfolio in Japan - subtle, stylish, and high-quality.
