Regular price €169,00This package excellently demonstrates the diversity of Japanese wine. Two wines from Yamanashi represent elegant clarity; one is light and delicate, the other aromatic and complex. Added to this is a powerful red wine from Yamagata, which introduces a completely different style and shows the structure of the cool north. Together, they create a compact overview of Japan's special wine identity with filigree fruit, precise aromatics, and a unique balance.

Behind every wine lies a story - and a winemaker who works with passion and dedication. In this series, we introduce our favorite winemakers, share their philosophy, and share what makes their wines so special. A look behind the scenes at Weinkontor Sommer.
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.
Japanese wines are perfectly suited to the refined, balanced cuisine of Japan. White wines—such as those made from the Koshu grape variety—complement light dishes like tempura, grilled fish, or vegetable dishes with miso. Red wines from Japan, with their elegant structure, harmonize perfectly with teriyaki, yakiniku, or soy-based dishes. Those looking for wine to accompany Japanese food will find a stylish, authentic accompaniment here.
