Okayama Prefecture is one of the notable production areas for Japanese wine.
On Saturday, May 28, a winery from Okayama Prefecture will be featured on TVO Television Osaka's "Otona Tabi Aruki Tabi."
Let's take a look at the details.
What Is "Otona Tabi Aruki Tabi"?
"Otona Tabi Aruki Tabi" is a travel program produced by Television Osaka.
Its concept is a travel program "for adults," where actor Kunihiko Mitamura walks through destinations he visits, savors local delicacies, fine beverages, and scenery, and shares the impressions he gains through interactions with local people.
In the episode broadcast on Saturday, May 28, Kunihiko Mitamura and Maiko Kozuka take a leisurely day trip through the "Land of Sunshine," Okayama.
Along with wine, craft beer and more will make an appearance, making it a great source of inspiration for sightseeing in Okayama.
Okayama Wine Makes an Appearance
While Okayama is famous for Muscat of Alexandria, it is also known for the high quality of international varieties such as Chardonnay.
This time, after enjoying craft beer, pottery, curry, and more, they pay a surprise visit to a riverside shop selling organic wine.
Scenes will be featured where they taste rosé wine made by an Okayama grape grower, as well as "orange wine," which is crafted from white grapes using red wine vinification methods.
Afterward, the show is packed with scenes of them enjoying Okayama's famous sights and specialties.
One cannot help but wonder what brand this orange wine will be.
