Our company supports 'April Dream,' an initiative that aims to make April 1st a day for sharing dreams. This press release represents the dream of 'Kiraka Winery.'
Kiraka Winery, a small urban winery in Kobe that makes wine from local grapes, aims to provide opportunities to color people's lives through the mysterious charm of wine.
■ Wine is not just alcohol, but a 'magical tool to enrich life'
Our dream is to use wine to inspire everyone in Japan to wish, 'I want to keep enjoying delicious wine and having a good time for as long as possible!' and, as a result, to become healthy in both mind and body (to become 'health geeks'), thereby delivering the spark for a 'vibrant life.'
Our representative, Karaki, previously worked in the IT industry and with the world's fastest supercomputers. During his time stationed in Belgium, he became completely captivated by the depth of wine, eventually diving so deep into the 'wine swamp' that he spent all his paid leave doing manual labor (training) at wineries.
In that process, he noticed an interesting 'paradox.'
When you think, 'I'm going to drink some amazing wine today!', you start to worry about your health checkup results. You exercise desperately and pay attention to your diet. Furthermore, because stress makes wine taste bad, you even start trying to smooth out your work and personal relationships.
To enjoy alcohol (wine) to the fullest, you pursue physical and mental health and well-being. We are convinced that this paradox is the true power of wine.
■ 'Rosé wine' to make your dreams come true at the daily dinner table
We want you to enjoy such 'wonderful moments that color your life' not just at dinners on special occasions, but more casually at your 'daily dinner table.'
That is why we focus on brewing 'rosé wine,' which pairs well with any cuisine, whether Japanese, Western, or Chinese. In Kobe, a city where diverse food cultures intersect, a single glass of rosé wine can turn the daily dinner table—from supermarket deli items to authentic home-cooked meals—into a slightly more special space. We deliver this versatile 'magical tool' from our small 'urban winery.'
■ Brewing toward our dream with AI and gritty manual labor
While using the latest AI technology as an assistant, we spend our days repeating fine-tuning based on human senses and gritty manual labor. Even while being at the mercy of yeasts that don't behave according to calculations like a supercomputer, we continue to make wine in Kasuganomichi, Kobe, today.
We dream of a day when dining tables all over Japan are filled with smiles, saying, 'I'll stay healthy and do my best today so I can enjoy Kiraka's rosé!'
