## We Want to Make Everyone in Japan 'Health Geeks' for Long-term Wine Enjoyment
Our company supports 'April Dream,' a project dedicated to sharing dreams on April 1st. This press release outlines the dream of 'Kira Ka Budo-shu Jozo.'
'Kira Ka Budo-shu Jozo,' a small urban winery in Kobe using Kobe grapes, aims to provide opportunities to color people's lives through the mysterious charm of wine.
### ■ Wine is Not Just Alcohol; It is a 'Magic Tool to Enrich Life'
Our dream is to provide a spark for a 'colorful life' where everyone in Japan wishes to continue enjoying delicious wine for as long as possible, resulting in becoming physically and mentally healthy ('health geeks').
Representative Karaki previously worked in IT, including projects related to the world's fastest supercomputers. While stationed in Belgium, he was captivated by the depth of wine, leading him to spend all his paid leave on manual labor (apprenticeship) at wineries, falling deep into the 'wine hole.'
During this process, he noticed an interesting 'paradox.'
When you think, 'I'm going to have the best wine tonight!', you start worrying about health check-up results. You exercise hard and pay attention to your diet. Furthermore, because wine tastes bad when you are stressed, you strive to make work and human relationships smoother.
Pursuing physical and mental health and well-being to maximize the enjoyment of wine—we are convinced that this paradox is the true power of wine.
### ■ 'Rose Wine' to Fulfill Dreams at the Daily Dining Table
We want people to enjoy such 'wonderful times that color life' not just at special dinners, but more casually at the [daily dining table].
That is why we focus on brewing 'Rose Wine,' which pairs perfectly with Japanese, Western, and Chinese cuisines. In Kobe, a city where diverse food cultures intersect, a single glass of rose wine can transform a meal—from supermarket deli items to authentic home cooking—into a special space. We deliver this universal 'magic tool' from our small-scale 'urban winery.'
### ■ Brewing Towards Dreams with AI and Gritty Manual Work
Every day, we use the latest AI technology as an assistant while making fine adjustments through human senses and gritty manual labor. We are often at the mercy of yeast, which doesn't always behave as calculated as a supercomputer, but we continue our brewing process toward our dream.
