"wa-syu OFFICIAL ONLINE SHOP" (hereinafter "wa-syu") is an online shop operated by Jun Co., Ltd.
It is an online shop attracting attention not only for presenting the pleasures of Japanese wine, but also for its unique initiatives found nowhere else.
Now, wa-syu has started offering products from Three Peaks Co., Ltd., a seaside winery rich in nature that is closest to the sea in Japan.
Here, we would like to share the details.
About "THREE PEAKS"
Three Peaks began when representative Mr. Oikawa, a native of Ofunato City, leased an apple orchard in 2013 and started planting grapes in 2014.
In 2018, the winery opened inside "Kyassen Ofunato," a seaside commercial reconstruction area newly established after the Great East Japan Earthquake.
Based on the foundation of "carefully crafting delicious things," the family continues their passionate efforts today to make the Sanriku coastal region a new wine-producing area.
Three Peaks currently continues its energetic activities, producing not only cider made from estate-grown apples, but also wines such as Chardonnay and Niagara using grapes from its estate vineyards and contracted growers.
Mr. Oikawa started operating the winery with the grand dream of "creating a new culture in Sanriku that will last for 100 years."
Through its own content, wa-syu will deliver "wine that warms the heart," sent forth from a winery that represents a new challenge in a reconstruction region.

Ringoya Machiko
The "Ringoya Machiko" series was named after "Machiko-san," Mr. Oikawa's mother, who is in charge of apple cultivation.
This exquisite cider is the realization of the heartfelt dedication of "Machiko," who took over the apple orchard after the Great East Japan Earthquake and carefully tends the trees to harvest delicious fruit.
Meticulous work such as removing blemishes and stems is followed by slow, low-temperature fermentation, racking, filtering, and then secondary fermentation in the bottle.
While retaining the aroma of apples, it is crafted into a refreshing dry style with distinct acidity.

REGALO
"REGALO" is a series brewed by selecting recommended grapes for that year.
Characterized by grape varieties that change with each vintage, the 2021 vintage uses Niagara grown by contracted farmers in Ohasama, Iwate Prefecture.
The flavor offers sweet, refreshing citrus aromas and pleasant acidity, resulting in a well-balanced finish.
The label features an illustration depicting Mr. Oikawa's three children carrying REGALO (meaning "gift" in Spanish).

Sakihama Yankee Cider
The "Sakihama Yankee Cider" series is created in collaboration with local fishermen.
Spirited young fishermen from the Sakihama area of Ofunato City, a traditional fishing town, launched the "Sakihama Yankee Brand" with the aim of revitalizing the community.
Aiming to convey the charms of the Sakihama area and make effective use of resources, their activities include selling thinned wakame seaweed and other seafood under the "Sakihama Yankee Brand."
As part of this initiative, the "Sakihama Yankee Cider" series is a project that uses sea urchin shells as fertilizer in the apple orchard and turns the apples harvested from those trees into an original cider.
Realized through a collaboration with Three Peaks, this cider is released in limited quantities with an artistic skull label.
Enjoy Flavors You Can Only Experience at Three Peaks!
The name Three Peaks and its logo were conceived based on the experiences of representative Mr. Oikawa and Sanriku, conveying the wish that "connections between people and connections between regions continue forever."
With this new initiative from wa-syu, which always shares Japanese wine through fresh and unique outreach, why not take this opportunity to enjoy flavors that can only be experienced at Three Peaks?
