"Vin Japonais Fes 2022," a major Japanese wine tasting event held last year, drew a tremendous response.
This year, the event moves from Ebisu to Belle Salle Roppongi.
At "Vin Japonais Fes 2023," not only wine producers but also Japanese cheese producers are scheduled to participate this year.
Here are the details.
About "Vin Japonais Fes 2023"
"Vin Japonais Fes" is an event where you can enjoy tastings while interacting with producers of both Japanese wine and Japanese cheese.
In addition to wineries from across Japan—stretching from Hokkaido in the north to Kyushu in the south—gathering with their limited-edition Japanese wines, Japanese cheese producers are also scheduled to open booths this year in connection with "Fromage Japonais," a documentary film focusing on Japanese cheese scheduled for release in 2024.
An impressive 50 wineries will gather at the venue this year.
Not only can you hear directly from the participating winery producers about the characteristics and enjoyable ways to savor Japanese wine, but learning about each winery's dedication and distinct regional differences also allows you to experience the appeal of remarkably growing and developing Japanese wine.
Furthermore, from the desire to have guests discover as many Japanese wines as possible, this year adopts a style where you can enjoy a "completely free tasting of all wines" rather than using a ticket-per-pour system.
It is an unprecedented opportunity to casually compare wines from all across Japan.
Keep an Eye on the Cheese Producers As Well
The greatest feature of "Vin Japonais Fes 2023" is that cheese producers are participating alongside wine producers.
CruX, Inc. is currently producing "Fromage Japonais," a documentary film about Japanese cheese, as a sister piece to the Japanese wine documentary film "Vin Japonais" released last year.
To commemorate this production, producers from cheese workshops featured in the film are also scheduled to be present at the venue.
You may even be able to purchase hard-to-find cheeses right at the venue.
Of course, you can also thoroughly enjoy luxurious pairings of Japanese wine and Japanese-produced cheese at the venue.
