Celebrating Wine Fogg’s “Japanese Wine”

It is wonderful to see you supporting Wine Fogg and their incredible contribution to the wine world. Their new book, Japanese Wine, is a massive achievement—distilling the complexity of 720+ wineries across 46 prefectures into a single, comprehensive guide.

The Definitive Guide to Japan’s Liquid Gold

For years, the world of Japanese wine has been a beautiful mystery to many—shrouded by language barriers and limited exports. But today, the veil has finally been lifted. I am thrilled to share the release of “Japanese Wine,” a monumental new book by the experts at Wine Fogg.

Why This Book is a Game-Changer

This isn’t just a wine guide; it’s a 438-page odyssey. Wine Fogg has achieved something truly Herculean, documenting over 720 wineries across 46 prefectures. From the snowy vineyards of Hokkaidō to the sub-tropical climates of Okinawa, no stone (or vine) has been left unturned.

Key highlights of the book include:

  • Massive Scope: Profiles of major producers and a history of Japanese viticulture.
  • Travel Companion: Over 380 recommended venues in Japan to visit, eat, and drink.
  • Beyond the Glass: Deep dives into indigenous grapes, local events, and even artisan cheese producers.

The Wine Fogg Touch

What makes this release even more special is the craftsmanship behind it. For those who order directly from Wine Fogg, the experience is bespoke. You can receive a signed copy with a custom dedication, but the true “collector’s” detail is the red wine ring applied to the book using rare Japanese wine—a literal piece of the terroir on your bookshelf.

A Labor of Love

We owe a great deal of thanks to the team at Wine Fogg. Their dedication to championing small, independent producers and lesser-known regions is what keeps the soul of the wine industry alive. By documenting these 720+ producers, they haven’t just written a book; they’ve created a legacy for Japanese winemakers to be recognized on the global stage.

How to Get Your Copy

The book officially begins shipping on 19th January 2026. I highly recommend ordering directly to support the author and to secure those beautiful customization options.
