The Lineup
1. Yamadado | Yoichi Pinot Noir 2023 (Far Left)
-
Region: Yoichi, Hokkaido
-
Style: Light Red / Natural
-
The Vibe: Pure, ethereal, and "umami-driven."
-
Tasting Notes: Produced by Yuichiro Yamada (a disciple of Domaine Takahiko). The 2023 vintage is ripe yet fresh, offering notes of wild strawberries, red plums, and a savory dashi-like finish. It is low-intervention winemaking at its finest.
2. Terre de Ciel | TERRA 2021 (Left Center)
-
Region: Komoro, Nagano
-
Style: White / Mineral
-
The Vibe: Sharp, crystalline, and high-altitude.
-
Tasting Notes: From the "Earth of the Sky" winery at 930m altitude. The "TERRA" label represents the sun and soil. Expect intense mineral salinity (salty stone), citrus zest, and white flowers. A wine of tension and precision.
3. Domaine Hase | Fukuihara Rouge "pfZ" Private Reserve 2023 (Right Center)
-
Region: Takayama, Nagano
-
Style: Red Blend (Field Blend)
-
The Code: "pfZ" stands for a unique blend of Pinot Noir (p), Pinot Fin (f), and Zweigelt (Z).
-
Tasting Notes: A "Private Reserve" release due to the exceptional ripeness of 2023. It is complex and spicy, layering black cherries and violets with hints of black pepper and nutmeg. A structured wine that evolves beautifully in the glass.
4. Yamadado | Niagara Sparkling 2024 (Far Right)
-
Region: Yoichi, Hokkaido
-
Style: Pet-Nat (Sparkling) / Dry
-
The Label: Features the iconic "Squirrel & Rabbit" illustration.
-
Tasting Notes: A fun, aromatic explosion! Made from the Niagara grape, it smells intensely of muscat grapes, lychee, and roses, but tastes bone-dry and crisp. Think of it as a sophisticated, adult soda. Perfect for parties.
