Thank you so much for this post! Maybe just to add that some Japanese wines, such as Hokkaido are protected in the EU as geographical indications through the EU-Japan FTA
Thank you for pointing it out! GI is also important concept that I should've included. For wine, four GI (Hokkaido, Yamagata, Yamanashi. Nagano) are accepted. We have more for sake. You're right. I didn't know the website. This is interesting it includes not only wine and sake, but also fruits!! Thank you for sharing!!!!
Thank you for your kind words. My idea is to share and explain things about Japan or Asia with friends living around me here in Europe. That’s the concept I had in mind when I started:)
I also knew nothing about Japanese wines! Thanks for enlightening us, Kazumi 😊
I'm happy to share about it to you! Hopefully, I want to share the Japanese wine (with food) with you sometime:)
I would love that!
If you’re curious about learning more about Japanese wines, I have written a book on it, covering every winery across the country. 🙂

There’s also GI Osaka, although with so few producers, it’s a bit of an outlier.
Fascinating post on a subject many Westerners know little about---thank you! I'm going to check out the winery websites.
