Wine LIst 🇺🇸 English 🇺🇸
SAKE WINE – the first wine in the world made with Japanese sake yeast. Created by Hideomi Kitagawa and Johannes Teutsch , SAKE WINE represents a completely new style of wine that has never existed before. It is neither sake nor a conventional wine — but a unique creation with refined and distinctive flavors. Grapes are carefully hand-harvested and selected, with yields limited to under 2,000 liters per hectare, making it a truly rare wine for special occasions. The label is adorned with musical notes, expressing the taste of wine visually, much like music expressed in art. Just as a melody resonates in the glass, SAKE WINE adds harmony and elegance to any conversation. In 2022, SAKE WINE was selected to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Narita–Frankfurt route of Japan Airlines and was served in the First-Class Lounges in Frankfurt and Tokyo-Narita, recognized as a wine of international distinction. Our labels are decorated with musical notes. Inspired by artists such as Kandinsky and Klee, who sought to express music through painting, we wanted the label itself to give a small impression of the wine’s flavor. As aromas and flavors unfold in the glass like a melody, SAKE WINE becomes a unique encounter of art and taste. ⭐️2024er SAKEWINE Gewürztraminer Hefe7 Das Labeldesign ist von Francis Poulencs „Violinsonate“ inspiriert.

Wine Collection
While we used Japanese Sake Yeast No. 9 for our previous Gewürztraminer, this vintage marks the first time we have used Japanese Ginjo Sake Yeast No. 7.
White wines are typically harvested in autumn and bottled the following spring. This vintage, however, was allowed to mature in tank for more than one year.
We also made use of the special characteristics of Japanese Ginjo sake yeast by keeping the grapes in contact with their skins for an extended period at low temperature. The aim was to bring out even more of the complex and diverse aromas contained in the grapes.
The result is an expressive and elegant Gewürztraminer with the characteristic aromas of lychee and rose, combined with the rich sweetness of a Spätlese.
At SAKEWINE, we also express the character of our wines through music. The label design of this wine is inspired by Francis Poulenc's Violin Sonata.

In addition, we took advantage of the special characteristics of our Japanese Ginjo sake yeast and kept the grapes in contact with their skins for an extended period at low temperature. The aim was to bring out even more complex and diverse aromas from the grapes.
The result is a Riesling with pleasantly restrained acidity and a particularly fruity, multi-layered aromatic profile. Its soft and harmonious character makes it a versatile companion for a wide range of dishes, especially the delicate flavors of Japanese cuisine.

While the previous vintage — which sold out immediately — was fermented with Yeast No. 9, this year we are using the rare Yeast No. 7, also known as Nagano Masumi yeast.
Even during laboratory tastings, it was noted that this Blanc de Noir is anything but typical for Pinot Noir — or, how should one put it? It is simply a completely new world of taste.

A fascinating illustration of how yeast alone can open up a completely new world of taste.
