At Nishikidôri, our selection of japanese wines is not limited to the Takahiko estate cuvées. These iconic and highly sought-after wines represent only a part of our carefully curated offering.
High-end Japanese wines are produced in extremely limited quantities and are very difficult to obtain. Due to exceptionally high demand, we do not accept advance reservations. In the interest of fairness to all, we will only announce upcoming availability and purchasing details on our website, once we are certain we can offer these cuvées for sale.
We thank you for your understanding and invite you to explore our full range of Japanese wines, which reflects the richness, diversity, and refinement of Japan’s vineyards.

Hokkaido island, and more specifically Yoichi region, is increasingly prized by connoisseurs for the quality of its wines.
Yoichi lies between Otaru and the Shakotan peninsula, just 1 hour by train from Sapporo. This terroir is in harmony with nature, a true Japanese wine paradise, as evidenced by the vast vines expanses that cover its meadows and slopes. This terroir is characterized by rolling or mountainous hillsides bordered by a coastline and a cold sea, its black soil rich and full of alluvial deposits.
This region is promising, fertile, with a unique climate of frigid winters and hot, humid summers. Harvest takes place in early October, with the risk of heavy snow. "This climate is a terrible paradox for a land in the making, as snow makes access to vines impossible for part of the year and forces winegrower to abandon winter pruning for a first green pruning, almost to the detriment of vines' rest.
On these hillsides, you'll find family-run businesses, sometimes very small, some producing just a few hundred bottles, passionate people who, freed from family tradition weigh and ancestral customs specific to each appellation, can invent their own wines”.
