An Outstanding Selection of Japanese Wine and Japanese Cheese! WINE MARKET PARTY (Ebisu)

WINE MARKET PARTY, located in Yebisu Garden Place.
It is renowned as a wine shop that wine lovers trust and frequent.
Inside the spacious store, around 2,000 different types of wine are always on display, ranging from high-end bottles to accessible options for everyday enjoyment.
The selection of origins is exceptionally rich, spanning Old World regions like France and Italy to New World producers.

In addition to wine, the shop is filled with lifestyle inspiration, featuring a well-stocked cheese counter, tasteful tableware, and a wide array of wine accessories.
Above all, its location within Yebisu Garden Place adds an extra sense of excitement to selecting a bottle of wine.

Did you know that in recent years, WINE MARKET PARTY has been putting extra effort into Japanese wine and Japanese cheese?
They carry around 80 items from various wine-producing regions spanning Hokkaido to Kyushu!
With sparkling, white, red, natural wines, and gift options, they are fully prepared for any occasion!
Furthermore, you can receive advice from professionals who are not only certified sommeliers but also hold Japanese Wine Advisor qualifications.

"Recently, more and more people are choosing Japanese wine for gifts," says Mr. Kaneko, who is in charge of Japanese wines.
When bringing a bottle to a present swap or a ladies' night out, getting professional advice gives you total peace of mind.

Do not underestimate this section just because it is inside a wine shop.
Some cheeses available here cannot be found anywhere else in Tokyo, while others come from artisanal dairies that distribute to only a handful of stores!
Even though it is located within a wine shop, many customers visit specifically for the cheese or call ahead to ask, "Do you have this cheese?"
Here, staff members qualified as certified Cheese Professionals, filled with a deep love for cheese, will explain everything to you in detail.

Ms. Baba, who is in charge of cheese, says: "Of course, customers who buy wine often pick up cheese to go with it, but recently we've seen an increase in cheese lovers coming in asking for specific products, as well as foreign guests making inquiries through their hotels and visiting us to purchase Japanese cheese."

So, what does this enticing sales floor actually look like?
Mr. Kaneko (Japanese wine) and Ms. Baba (cheese) gave us a guided tour of the store.

After hearing detailed introductions to each section and item, you naturally want to try pairing them together.
We asked Yusuke Igarashi, Representative Director of WINE MARKET PARTY with over 30 years of experience in the wine industry, to actually pair them up and test their compatibility!

He gave us an easy-to-understand lecture on the fundamental approach to pairing, which will surely serve as a helpful reference for future wine selection.
