Chateraise Blanc is the everyday dry white bottling from Chateraise Belle Foret Winery in Kai City, Yamanashi Prefecture. Blended mainly from Yamanashi-grown Koshu, Japan's iconic native white grape, and Chardonnay, it is aged in oak barrels to develop a mellow, mature bouquet layered over crisp, pronounced acidity. The winery describes it as a sharp, dry white that pairs especially well with seafood pasta and classic Japanese dishes such as oden, tempura, and sushi. It is sold in 720ml bottles at 1,815 yen (tax included).
A textbook Koshu-Chardonnay blend: Koshu's delicate citrus lift meets Chardonnay's firmer acid backbone, and the barrel touch keeps it food-friendly rather than heavy.
