Event Overview

Japan may be better known for its sake or whisky, but a wine called Koshu is getting popular among wine lovers brimming with curiosity.

What is Koshu?

Koshu is the best known type of grape in Japan and has been grown for more than 1000 years. Wine made from Koshu is known for crisp acidity, strong minerality and restrained flavors of white peach and citrus. It’s on the road to becoming the first Asian wine to gain international recognition. As a result, one of the bottles has been winning the Gold Award for a consecutive six years in the Decanter World Wine Awards.

Koshu is a must-try for fans of delicate wines such as Sancerre and Saumur Blanc, but unlike the others, Koshu is very much its own grape. In addition, if you’re searching for the perfect partner for raw-fish dishes such as Sushi, join this event and explore all the possibilities!

Attendees will learn the history of Koshu as well as taste the wine made by two Japanese wineries, Chateau Mercian and Kisvin Winery.

**Please note that this event is for industry only guests and serious business attendees.**
