Japanese wine fans may also be interested in wineries run by Japanese producers active on the international stage.
On Saturday, March 1, Koji Nakada of Lou Dumont will appear at specialty cheese and wine shop LAMMAS Toranomon Hills for a public tasting event during his first visit to Japan in six years.
Here are the details.
About Koji Nakada’s Japan Event
Koji Nakada is the producer behind Lou Dumont, based in Burgundy, France.
In May 2003, the late Henri Jayer advised him to “express your own identity in your wine.” Nakada is also known for creating the wine “Ten-Chi-Jin” as a symbol of both his Japanese identity and his sincere respect for nature and people.
Nakada, who has appeared in numerous media including NHK’s Professional: Shigoto no Ryugi and the manga The Drops of God, will visit LAMMAS Toranomon Hills for an event marking his first trip to Japan in six years.
