JWINE = 100% Japanese Grapes
Guidelines for the previously ambiguous distinction between "Japanese wine" and "domestic wine" were established in 2018, clarifying the differences between the two.
All "Japanese wines" referred to as "JWINE" are made exclusively from 100% Japanese-grown grapes.
This is a special feature on pairing JWINE with Japanese food and side dishes .
We'll be introducing items from "Magokoro wo Shokutaku ni Zen" for Japanese food and side dishes!
You can buy a set and easily try pairing them, or you can use the pairing process as a reference to find your favorite JWINE.
Enjoy the pairing of JWINE with Japanese food and side dishes.
