People say that WINE is the product made from soil, climate, and human knowledge. It is also a gift from the sunlight. In order to introduce such wonderful products into Japan, we began our work with visiting many producers. Even if someone has good vineyards or the year is called "excellent year" for the wines, the quality of each wine always depends on the producer! We can see the differences among the producers very clearly! When we met producers who always search for better quality and make effort for it, we were convinced that the wines produced by such people were exactly what we had been looking for. In order to distribute wines with good quality in reasonable priceｓ, and also in order for more people to meet something genuine, we will continue selecting very seriously the wines we should import.
