ABOUT

Oizumi Budoshu is a winery jointly invested in and managed by 103 grape growers in the Iwasaki district of Katsunuma-cho, Koshu City, Yamanashi Prefecture.

With roots tracing back to its predecessor, Daruma Budoshu Goshi Kaisha, founded in 1902 (Meiji 35), it boasts a history of over 100 years. Using 100% Koshu grapes supplied by shareholder farmers, it aims to be a community-rooted winery.

"Wine is alive. Delicious wine cannot be made without the heart to pour affection into every single bottle and wait for it to mature."

Crafted under this conviction held since its founding, the rich, mellow flavor of its original Katsunuma local wine is brewed with reliable ingredients and techniques cultivated by tradition, and continues to be passed down.

Please enjoy this exceptional taste, nurtured and recognized throughout its long history.

FEATURE STORY

Founded in 1902: A Century of History

The history of Oizumi Wine began in December 1902 with the Daruma Wine Limited Partnership, founded by nine promoters.

At the time, winemaking in Japan was still in its infancy, and public awareness of wine was far lower than it is today. The wine industry faced fierce competition for survival.

Through the efforts and research of those who came before, the winery overcame many difficulties. Even during the Pacific War, winemaking continued without interruption, carrying the business into the postwar era.

In 1963, with the hope of growing together with the local community, the company adopted Oizumi—the name of the winery's locality—as its company name. Rooted in the region, the winery continues to pursue ever higher quality.
