Fox Village Hidamari Koshu ('sunlit' selection) is Alps Wine Co., Ltd.'s easy-drinking entry point into the Fox Village line, aimed at wine beginners with a sweet-to-medium-dry style. Made from 100% Yamanashi-grown Koshu, it shows a honey-yellow color with citrus and honey nuances and a rich, generous fruit character, finishing refreshingly semi-dry. Non-vintage, sealed with a screw cap, bottled at 12% ABV.

Sommelier's Note

If you think Japanese wine is too subtle to enjoy on its own, start here — its honeyed citrus fruit and gentle sweetness make Koshu instantly likable.

New to wine?

Part of the brand's dedicated 'beginner' selection — its honeyed fruit and gentle sweetness make it one of the most approachable Koshu wines available.

Food Pairings

Its gentle sweetness and rich fruit character make it forgiving with a wide range of everyday Japanese dishes, from tempura to simmered vegetables and lightly seasoned seafood.

When to drink it

A relaxed, sunny-afternoon pour for casual gatherings, or a comfortable first glass for those trying Japanese wine for the first time.

Terroir & Winemaking

100% Koshu grapes from Yamanashi Prefecture, bottled non-vintage under screw cap at 12% ABV, finished in a semi-dry (yaya-amakuchi to medium-dry) style for approachability.
