The grapes have been carefully harvested by hand
Miyoshi, where three rivers meet, is a city of water. The activities of nature are repeated, in which the water of the river flowing through the city becomes foggy and eventually rains. “TOMOE WINES” are made from fresh grapes grown in these unique climatic conditions. The carefully grown grapes are picked by hand while sorting one by one. The efforts of these creators produce wines that have a great taste.
