Our Approach
Our portfolio will be published after contracts are confirmed. Until then, we make clear how we choose wines and how we bring them to Japan.
Selection criteria
Expression of place
We look for wines that speak of land, climate, and variety — honest expressions of origin over fashion-driven styles.
Producer relationships
We prefer direct dialogue over multi-layered intermediaries. We partner only where price, volume, and quality policy can be discussed transparently.
Consistent quality
Not one-off novelty — producers we can trust across vintages. We combine tasting with background research.
Fit for Japan
We consider Japanese food culture, climate, and price bands so wines can be enjoyed for the long term.

About the Japanese market
Importing and selling alcohol in Japan requires licenses and notifications. We hold a liquor retail license and a mail-order liquor notification.
Sales to anyone under 20 are prohibited by law; we enforce age verification at purchase.
We publish Specified Commercial Transactions disclosures, terms, and a privacy policy so trading conditions are clear.
Even as a small company, being a legitimate seller is the minimum we owe producers and consumers.
