What is “SAKUR A”
Japan Women’s Wine Awards ?
                In Japan, women often play a leading role in wine selection. That’s why
                we believe wines judged and selected by female experts will lead to
                consumers’ trust and satisfaction. Aiming to push the boundary of wine
                market in Japan, we will continue our effort in collaboration with you.
                The award-winning wines are available for consumers at supermarkets,
                wine shops, and on-line. At the same time, these wines are also served
                in restaurants.
                This year, 560 judges gathered from all over Japan. Well-honed taste of
Yumi Tanabe     these wine professionals have selected the award-winning wines, which
President       we hope will be widely accepted by Japanese people.
