Wine producers from central Japan gathered in London at a special event on Wednesday to promote their wares to sommeliers, importers and journalists.
Nine wineries from Yamanashi Prefecture presented around 40 different types, many of them made from the Koshu grape. About 100 connoisseurs were there to sample the wares.
One importer described the wines: "Absolutely fantastic. They are very fresh and sort of mineral driven. There is a beautiful citrus note that shines through... very food friendly. So we don't see enough of them in the UK, and I'd like to see more."
Chuo Budoshu Company President Misawa Shigekazu represents the organizers of the event. He believes it's important to make their wines known in the trend-setting city of London.
Misawa said he wants people to get to know the healthy and delicate flavor of Koshu wines, and that they pair well with many kinds of food.
