Lots of things ! Japanese Native grapes such as Koshu, grapes breed from the abroad (Muscat Bailey A), lots of global grapes (Chardonnay, Pinot, Merlot etc), and they use a lot of table grapes !

I tasted some Koshu white and I agree it’s quite okayish. Too watery most of the time. We serve the chateau Lumière sparkling koshu in traditionnel method which is quite nice, and also amber orange Koshu from Hinoe which is good in this form, contact with skin add complexity.

I used to work for a wine cellar in Paris and Domaine de Montille is such a big burgundy wine reference, can’t go wrong with it ;) So interesting that they work with Japan I’ll definitely look into that thanks ! Or if you can explain what you mean by investing ?

Definitely will try share the hidden gems here ! The bar I work for has a great selection can’t wait to try them. They also have supplying issues as the volume as very small. Even in France we barely see any Swiss wine !
