Thank you for your kind comment! Honestly, that’s exactly what I want to do. While I don’t focus solely on niche areas and mostly enjoy Western and U.S. culture (I used to live in LA) and wines, at the same time, I also want to contribute to my own country in whatever way I can.
Thank you for your comment! I completely agree with you. Very unique fruit expression, maybe because of the difference of the terroir and grape vareities.
After reading various discussions about natural wine on Substack and in Japanese articles, I’ve been thinking about how to articulate wines that fall in the gray area as a writer.
Wine is a luxury, so you should drink what you love. I also agree that a hint of VA or Brett can add complexity, but too much turns into a flaw. I’m still working on how best to define that fine line. The second orange wine, for me, definitely leans on the clean side! 😆
I definitely prefer a wine to taste "clean", although I realise that's a very problematic term these days. It's also tricky that so many people have come to expect a kind of faultiness from natural wine. So managing expectations (on both sides of the divide) is difficult.
Once again, fascinating stuff---thanks for a glimpse into a category not found in the US (to my knowledge).

That second orange wine sounds right up my street! And the rosé interests me as well... I'm gonna hit you up for a Japanese tasting when I get home!
