Wine producers from central Japan gathered in London at a special event on Wednesday to promote their wares to sommeliers, importers and journalists.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.”<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wine producers from central Japan gathered in London at a special event on Wednesday to promote their wares…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":745428,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[7757],"tags":[521,36313,748,393,4884,2122,36315,257,12,36314,36318,36319,36320,36317,1767,36316,36321,326,16,15,26],"class_list":["post-745427","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-london","tag-asia","tag-biz","tag-britain","tag-england","tag-great-britain","tag-japan","tag-japan-broadcasting-corporation","tag-london","tag-news","tag-nhk","tag-nhk-world","tag-nhk-world-premium","tag-nhk-world-tv","tag-nhkworld","tag-nuclear","tag-public-broadcaster","tag-radio-japan","tag-tech","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-world"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116021683993921491","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/745427","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=745427"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/745427\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/745428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=745427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=745427"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=745427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
