A gentle introduction to the world of Japanese wine
Discover the diversity and elegance of modern Japanese wine through three distinctive bottles from some of Japan’s most exciting natural-minded producers.
From lively pétillant white to expressive orange wine and delicate light-bodied red, the First Experience Box is designed for curious drinkers who want to explore the unique character of Japanese wine for the first time.
Carefully selected to showcase different styles, regions, and grape expressions, these wines share a common thread: balance, freshness, subtle umami, and remarkable drinkability.
Included in the box
Perlant Blanc 2024 — domaine tetta (Okayama)
A refreshing semi-sparkling white made from the table grape Aki Queen, grown on limestone-rich soils in Okayama.
Bright aromas of white peach, tropical fruit, and Japanese citrus lead into a dry, gently pétillant palate with soft acidity and delicate savoury depth.
Fresh, aromatic, and surprisingly refined — a perfect first encounter with Japanese white wine.
Pair with: tempura, ceviche, goat’s cheese, white fish, or light summer dishes.

NECO series Genchi 2024 — Fattoria AL FIORE (Miyagi)
An energetic and approachable orange wine blending Niagara, Neo Muscat, and Seibel 9110.
Juicy notes of nectarine, mango, kabosu citrus, and subtle herbal spice unfold over a light yet textured palate.
A vibrant example of Japan’s contemporary natural wine scene — expressive, playful, and easy to enjoy.
Pair with: sushi, mountain vegetables, spring rolls, pork dishes, or Southeast Asian cuisine.
