The October 2022 issue of "Winart" (Issue 110) went on sale today, Monday, September 5.
Opening with a Japanese wine special feature, it particularly spotlights Yamagata Prefecture, one of Japan's leading wine-producing regions.
Let's take a look at the details.
About the Yamagata Feature
Yamagata Prefecture is one of Japan's premier wine-producing regions.
Blessed with rich culinary traditions, winemaking in Yamagata has a long history, and it is also home to the oldest winery in the Tohoku region.
This issue introduces 12 producers, ranging from historic wineries to new wineries that have recently begun winemaking in Yamagata.
It also features information on restaurants and wine shops recommended by the covered producers.
In addition, it explains the history of winemaking in Yamagata, the grapes grown, the background behind the increase in new entrants to agriculture and newly established wineries, and current initiatives.
It is said to be a definitive keepsake feature for getting to know Yamagata wines that pair wonderfully with food.
"Japan Winery Address Book 2022" Included as a Supplement
Remarkably, the "Japan Winery Address Book 2022" comes as a special supplement this time.
This address book is a handy-sized booklet easy to carry along when touring wineries, including winery addresses, websites or official social media addresses, and maps showing the location of each winery.
There are now over 400 wineries in Japan.
Why not use it as a companion for touring Japanese wineries, or as a reference book to get a nationwide overview of wineries?
Special Events Too!
In addition, special events to enjoy Yamagata wine celebrating the release of the October issue of "Winart" magazine have been prepared.
Online participation is also available for those who find it difficult to attend the Tokyo venue in person.
Details will be announced on the web as soon as they are finalized, so be sure to check it out if you are interested.
