Here, we will introduce what kind of activities this company carries out.
Support for Winemaking

The company states that in order to create an environment where new entrants can engage in winemaking with peace of mind, it will provide total support focusing on Hokkaido, ranging from assistance with launching new wineries to viticulture and winemaking.
They aim to contribute to the Japanese wine industry with correct knowledge and techniques.
Winemaking Professionals Assemble!
The company's representative is winemaker Naoyuki Maro, who has the background of winning the first-ever Gold Medal for Japan (European red grape variety) at the world's largest wine competition (Decanter World Wine Award 2020) in 2020.
Furthermore, they welcomed Ryu Koyama, founder of the highly trusted New Zealand-based "KOYAMA Wines" as a winemaker, and Tokio Enomoto, a renowned vineyard specialist in the viticulture industry, as advisors, realizing a comprehensive support system from viticulture to winemaking.
Positioned as consultants in the wine industry, they will provide support for launching new wineries as well as technical support for wineries aiming to further enhance quality.
Toward Improving the Quality of Japanese Wine!
In addition to consulting services, "JAPAN WineGrowers Inc." plans to undertake work as seminar lecturers.
Additionally, they will conduct private winery tours for the general public that only winemakers can guide, and plan and manage viticulture and winemaking training both domestically and internationally for those aspiring to become winemakers.
Precisely because Japanese wine is attracting more and more attention, an increase in new entrants is certain.
