"wa-syu OFFICIAL ONLINE SHOP" (hereinafter wa-syu), operated by Jun Co., Ltd., offers new ways to enjoy Japanese wine.
Sales of the collaboration wine with Domaine Hide, "Tsubojitate Orange Koshu 2022," began on Tuesday, May 30, 2023.
This wine is an orange wine crafted in ceramic pots by winemaker Hideo Shibuya.
Let us take a closer look at the details.
The 2nd Domaine Hide x wa-syu collaboration wine
"Tsubojitate Orange Koshu 2022" is the second collaboration wine between Domaine Hide and wa-syu.
It is an orange wine made from Koshu grapes, crafted in Japan's first ”pots for aging wine” developed by Shibuya together with "Kashogama," a long-established pottery kiln in Kyoto.
Unlike many amphorae from overseas, no wax is coated on the inside of the pots, so the composition of the clay and the firing method directly affect the wine.
As the flavorful Koshu grapes grown in the Southern Alps breathe through the pots, they transform into something even more powerful, resulting in a highly original bottle.

About the 2022 vintage
For the newly released 2022 vintage, an orange wine aged in pots from the same Koshu grapes is blended with an orange wine aged in barrels.
According to Shibuya, the compatibility between the "breathing ceramic pot," which he also calls a ”mischievous pot,” and the Koshu grapes has become even better, allowing it to be finished without added sulfites.
About the flavor profile
The flavor profile of "Tsubojitate Orange Koshu 2022" carries forward the edgy character distinctive of pot aging—just like the 2021 vintage—along with Koshu's pleasant bitterness and the nuance of grape skins unique to orange wine.
Furthermore, the roundness of the barrel adds to the balance this year, reportedly making it even more delicious.
By the way, recommended pairings include sweet, savory seafood such as grilled shrimp and hamayaki-style clams.
Why not savor it on its own, or while enjoying it paired with food?
