Talk Show on "Ryugan" by Sommelier Shinya Tasaki Held
A special talk show was held on the main stage featuring world-renowned sommelier Shinya Tasaki and Dai Shimazaki, President of Manshu Wine Co., Ltd.
The talk, titled "The World Standard Ryugan is Aiming For," focused on "Ryugan," a Nagano Prefecture native grape variety for which efforts are underway to gain OIV (International Organisation of Vine and Wine) registration. They discussed the potential of Japanese wine and the significance of promoting regional grape varieties to the world.
Furthermore, under the theme "The Future of Japanese Wine Starting from Komoro," opinions were exchanged on the potential of Japanese wine regions, including Komoro, and the future of wine culture evolving alongside the community. Attendees listened intently.
Event Held Concurrently to Experience the Present and Future of "Komoro Wine"
"KOMORO WINE DAYS 2026," which attracts many wine fans annually, was held concurrently. Ten wineries from Komoro City participated, jointly promoting the appeal of Japanese wine through wine tastings from each winery within the venue.
Additionally, "gourmet" dishes carefully selected to pair with wine were sold by 11 popular local restaurants, drawing a large crowd.
It provided an opportunity for visitors to gain a deeper appreciation for Komoro's unique climate and the passion of each winemaker.
Back Vintage Auction
The back vintage auction, popular every year, saw many participants again this year.
Notably, "Solaris Chikuma River Shinano Riesling Cryo-Extraction 2021," a wine that received the highest score in the sweet wine category at the "Vinalies Internationales 2023," attracted significant interest. It was sold for the highest price of the auction at 36,000 yen, filling the venue with excitement.
Festival Limited "Special Tour"
A 15-minute special tour covering areas such as the "underground cellar" and "winery building" was conducted, with more participants than in previous years.
It was a special time that offered moments of surprise and empathy by introducing the winery's history and the meticulous winemaking process carried out with simple equipment.
Stamp Rally Visiting Producers
The stamp rally, which was very popular last year, was held again this year. Participants who collected stamps by visiting five producers received a complimentary glass of wine. It served as an opportunity to experience the charm of Komoro wine while enjoying conversations with producers, deepening the interaction between customers and winemakers.
Pre-release & Limited Wine Tasting
This year, to ensure smoother operations on the day, a "Special Tasting Set" was sold in advance.
Guests were able to leisurely enjoy unique tastings, including back vintages aged over 20 years and wines still in bottle aging before their release, providing a highly satisfying experience.
Conclusion
Through these two events, which allowed visitors to experience Komoro's wine culture, many guests enjoyed the region's charm and the deliciousness of Japanese wine.
Manshu Wine will continue to work with the local community and neighboring wineries to promote the development of Komoro's wine culture and the appeal of Japanese wine.
Furthermore, the "Manshu Wine Festa Koshu" is scheduled to be held in November. In Koshu as well, we will collaborate with the local community to hold events that promote regional charm and contribute to the community.
