Haramo Black Queen Sparkling Red is Haramo Wine's first-ever sparkling wine, launched using 100% Black Queen — a deeply colored, Japanese-bred red grape variety grown in Yamanashi (2023 harvest). It is a light, refreshing dry red sparkling wine that shows off Black Queen's dark berry fruit and gentle tannins beneath a lively mousse, offering a distinctly Japanese take on red sparkling wine. Bottled at 720ml, it marked a new chapter for the century-old Katsunuma winery, known mainly for its Koshu and Bordeaux-variety reds.
As Haramo's very first sparkling wine, this bottling is a notable milestone: proof that Black Queen — usually reserved for still reds — can carry bubbles with real charm.
New to wine?
A fun, easy way to try red sparkling wine for the first time — light-bodied, gently fizzy, and not overly tannic.
Food Pairings
Its soft tannins and juicy dark-berry character make it easy to pair with grilled or glazed meats — try it with yakitori, teriyaki chicken, or a simple charcuterie board. The gentle bubbles also work well as an aperitif on their own.
When to drink it
Great for casual parties, barbecues, or as a conversation-starting gift for wine lovers curious about Japanese red sparkling wine.
