History

First Kyoho Wine In Japan

The first Kyoho Wine was made in 1972 as we had strong desire of
producing a fine wine, containing 100% kyoho grape, which has been
known to be one of the most difficult fruits to brew.

The Wakatekeya Sake Brewery’ s 13th generation of the chief brewer,
Denbei Hayashida spent 10 years to invent the first Kyoho Wine after the 12th generation of the chief brewer,
Hiroyuki Hayashida first planted Japan-originated kyoho grapes with local farmers in Tanushimaru-cho.
