A rose champagne from one of the world’s most renowned top-quality brands, with an aroma of ripe cherries and dried flowers and a slight nuance of caramel. It has a soft, gentle mouthfeel and a well-balanced taste that blends savory, acid, and fruit flavors. The charming berry finish lingers in your mouth, tightened by a pleasant hint of bitterness.

From a historic winery in Nagano Prefecture, Solaris La Croix features a complex aroma of cassis, leaf mold, vanilla and cinnamon co-mingling in harmony. Note the translucent fruity character and the silky, beautifully defined mouthfeel. Fresh acidity and delicate tannins create a well-balanced structure. Savor the expansive afternote as you taste one of Japan's top-quality Bordeaux-style blends.

Chateau Lagrange, located in Saint Julien, Bordeaux is a renowned winery even among its prestigious 3rd growth peers. Since 1983, when Suntory joined the ranks of management, its reputation has been further augmented.

This claret has a sophisticated aroma that evokes cassis, mulch and licorice. Now at a gorgeous stage in its maturity, you can fully appreciate the flavors of gaiety alongside ripeness. This is a full-bodied Bordeaux, in which a complex afternote, smooth palate and elegant tannins are creating a beautiful harmony.

This wine, the signature red of Takahide and Miyoko Sugimoto’s Chateau Igai Takaha, evokes the strength and elegance of a true Japanese woman, as embodied by Miyoko herself. The tannins blend well with its rich, fruity taste, refreshing acidity, and full, juicy mouthfeel, while the finish includes brilliant notes of berry.

Yaizu City in Shizuoka, where Isojiman is crafted, is a port town renowned for its rich food culture and boasts Japan's highest fish catch. Isojiman, which has been awarded the highest honorsin numerous competitions, benefits greatly from the soft subterranean water ofthe Oi River, originating from Mt. Aino in the Southern Japan Alps. This sake is brewed with meticulous attention to detail using Isojiman’s tradi-tional handcrafted methods, polishing the highest quality Yamada Nishikirice (from the prestigious AAA-ranked Akitsu district in the special A-grade Tojo area) down to 44%. The resultis a refreshing Junmai Daiginjo sake created exclusively for JAL's international First Class that always tastes new and interesting. The bracing, profound flavor is accompanied by natural aromas reminiscent of ripe banana, pear, and muskmelon, derived from a secret koji-making technique along with isoamyl acetate yeast. Isojiman pairs beautifully not only with Japanese cuisine, but also with Western dishes-especially brilliant with caviar. I invite you to enjoy this specially-brewed sake's magnificent finish and sublime clarity.
