Highly anticipated natural wine
＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿
Natural wine has become increasingly popular in recent years. This year's "World Travel Wine Exhibition" will feature the largest selection ever, with over 150 varieties. Crafted using traditional methods, natural wines are characterized by their "complex flavors." Many of them also pair well with dishes that are considered difficult to pair with wine, such as dishes using spices.

The Jumpin' Juice series is created by Patrick Sullivan, a young naturalist known as a highly popular winemaker in Melbourne, Australia, who "purchased grapes." These light-style wines are made by blending multiple grape varieties and vintages, and offer juicy, distinctive flavors.
"Saperavi" (3,520 yen/red/Georgia)/Pheasants Tears
This bottle is made by John Wordeman of Pheasants Tears, who is known as the pioneer who brought Georgian wine, the birthplace of wine, to the world. John, who was originally a famous painter, makes wines that are characterized by beautiful colors that reflect his sensitivity and rich, delicate flavors.
One of the features of the "World Traveling Wine Exhibition" is the wide variety of Japanese wines on offer. This year, over 35 wineries will be gathering, offering a lineup of wines that strongly reflect the climate and individuality of each producer. Producers and guests will also be in attendance, so you can talk to them directly while purchasing, a unique experience at the "World Traveling Wine Exhibition."

Camel Farm Winery is a winery in Yoichi, Hokkaido.

The winery will feature a rich, full-bodied white wine, which is the signature of the winery, as well as a rosé, the first of its kind at Isetan Shinjuku.
Gin no Shizuku is a new type of wine made using No. 7 sake yeast.
