Tastings of Japan's rarest indigenous grapes — Koshu, Muscat Bailey A, and bottles poured nowhere else — guided one glass at a time, in a room built for twelve.

The Collection

Three grapes. A whole country in a glass.

We pour Japan's indigenous varietals the way a curator hangs a show — deliberately, with the story behind every bottle. Here is how an evening unfolds.

The Grapes

The three grapes

Koshu, Muscat Bailey A and Delaware — indigenous to Japan, rotated by the season.

Specimen 01 / 03
Koshu
Yamanashi · White · 18.5° Brix

Citrus rind, white peach, a saline finish.

Specimen 02 / 03
Muscat Bailey A
Yamanashi · Red · 20.0° Brix

Wild strawberry, clove, a soft tannic hush.

Specimen 03 / 03
Delaware
Yamagata · Off-dry · 17.0° Brix

Lychee, honeysuckle, a bright lifted acidity.

The Flight

Guided, glass by glass

A sommelier walks you through each pour — what it is, where it's from, why it matters.

The Manifesto

Most lists chase Bordeaux and Burgundy — the names you already trust.

We chase the grapes Japan kept to itself.

The Method

Three movements to an evening.

01 / 03The Method

Arrive

Step into a room set for twelve. The first glass is poured before your coat is off.

02 / 03The Method

Taste

A flight of indigenous varietals — each one introduced: origin, maker, the why behind the pour.

03 / 03The Method

Linger

Stay with what you found. Tasting notes, a map of the regions, and bottles to take the night home.
