The wine region of Yamanashi-ken
Japanese winemaking heart at the foot of Mount Fuji, signature in Koshu. Identity-driven native white (~90% of Japanese plantings): delicate, precise dry whites with notes of citrus (yuzu, lime), green apple, white flowers and a slightly saline finish, low alcohol and great freshness. Ideal with sushi and Japanese cuisine. Also Chardonnay and Merlot in the altitude zones of Akeno.
The word of the wine: pH
Short for "hydrogen potential", the pH is a parameter that defines whether a medium is acidic or basic. A high pH gives a soft wine, a very low pH translates into a wine that is too acidic.
