Discover the Allure of Ashicoco 2022

A Gracefully Sweet Japanese White Wine Crafted for Every Table

If you're looking for a white wine that captures the essence of Japan’s delicate craftsmanship and natural beauty, Ashicoco 2022 is your perfect match. Born from the Japanese grape variety Koshu, this charmingly soft and aromatic white wine has been crafted with passion and precision since 1984.

And with International Wine Day celebrated annually on May 25th, there's no better time to raise a glass and enjoy a wine that beautifully bridges tradition and innovation.

🍏 A Symphony of Aromas & Flavors

With the first swirl, Ashicoco enchants the senses with aromas of crisp apple, juicy pear, and sun-ripened apricot, layered with notes of toasted nuts and gentle spices, reminiscent of hay on a warm breeze.
On the palate, it offers a balanced touch of sweetness, mellow acidity, and a refined aged depth. The interplay of umami and a hint of saltiness makes it an exceptionally versatile companion to a wide range of dishes.

🍇 Thoughtfully Blended, Lovingly Fermented

The 2022 vintage brings together carefully selected Koshu grapes, gently pressed to preserve their character. It’s artfully blended with Kerner, Chardonnay, and Bacchus—all sourced from renowned Japanese regions including Yamanashi, Hokkaido, Yamagata, and Nagano.
After allowing the lees to settle naturally, only the clear juice is fermented with wild yeasts at low temperatures, preserving the wine’s fresh fruitiness and elegant texture. The result is a wine that’s both easy to enjoy for beginners and satisfying for seasoned wine lovers.

🍽 Pairs Perfectly With Japanese and Global Cuisine

Ashicoco is a natural partner for everyday dining. It shines alongside both traditional Japanese dishes seasoned with soy sauce, miso, or mirin, and international favorites.
Recommended pairings include:

• Grilled clams
  

• Seafood Korean pancakes (chijimi)

• Oden hot pot

• Smelt tempura (wakasagi)

• Stir-fried pork and bean sprouts with cumin

• Grilled poulet jaune (yelow chicken) 

• Nasi goreng (Indonesian fried rice)

• Mixed Japanese-style hot pot (yosenabe)

✈ A Wine of Prestige

Ashicoco’s quality has been recognized beyond borders—previous vintages (2012, 2013, 2015) were served in first and business class on international flights and in premium airline lounges. Whether you're relaxing at home or sharing a special moment, chill it well (7–9°C) and let its calm character soothe your soul.
