Don't miss this rare opportunity to taste the future of natural wine.
■ From the Frontlines of the Restaurant Industry to a Winemaker Born in Kanagawa Prefecture. Originally highly successful as the general manager and sommelier of a high-end Italian restaurant, Fujimaki is a pioneer who popularized the concept of "wine pairing" in Japan, curating a different glass of wine for every single dish in a course meal. However, in 2014, driven by an immense passion for wine, he decided to become a creator himself. He began cultivating grapes by clearing abandoned farmland in Nanyo City, Yamagata Prefecture, and later honed his craft training under renowned New Zealand winemaker Alex Craighead.
■ The "Banksy of the Wine World" With No Vineyards Today, the "KAZU WINE" brand he operates relies on an incredibly unconventional business model: he does not own a single winery or vineyard. Instead, he is a "nomadic" winemaker. He travels to the wineries of friends scattered across the globe—including New Zealand, Spain, and Australia—borrowing their facilities and grapes, and assists with the final blending to craft the wines.
■ Guerrilla-Style, Pure Winemaking He produces vibrant, life-filled natural wines by keeping artificial intervention to a bare minimum and drastically limiting sulfite use. Nothing else is added; there is no fining or filtering.
At this special tasting in the Tokyo American Club Cellar, you will have the opportunity to experience his uniquely free and energetic world of wine, completely unbound by physical constraints or traditional industry stereotypes. Signed bottles available
