About this activity

Explore Japan's hidden gem wine culture through an expertly-led tasting of five rare, locally-produced Japanese wines in intimate Shibuya. This 90-minute immersive experience reveals the stories behind Japan's native grape varieties and distinctive terroirs, challenging the assumption that sake is Japan's only refined drink.

When you think of visiting Japan, you probably plan to try Sushi, Matcha, or drink Sake, Plum wine, and Japanese Whiskey. But did you know Japan is home to a world-class, official wine scene?

Skip the standard French or Italian imports you can get back home. Step inside THREE GRAPES—located just minutes from Shinjuku and Shibuya—and take a unforgettable journey across Japan, one glass at a time.
