"190" is Kai Winery's special anniversary bottling, released in 2025 to mark 190 years since the winery's sake-brewing predecessor began production in 1834. It is a field blend co-fermented from a newly planted estate plot, using five grape varieties in total — four of them aromatic — with the exact varietal composition kept undisclosed. The wine offers complex fruit character and a round, full-bodied palate; the winery notes it is still a touch young and will benefit from further bottle age. Production is capped at just 190 bottles, a symbolic nod to the anniversary.
Kai Winery's boldest white to date — proof that 190 years of winemaking history can still push toward something new and weightier.
New to wine?
A rare, limited anniversary bottling — a great way to taste Kai Winery's more ambitious, full-bodied side of Koshu-area white winemaking.
Food Pairings
A full-bodied, structured white with concentrated fruit — pair it with richer dishes than a typical Koshu, such as roasted white fish with butter sauce, cream-based pasta, or matured semi-hard cheese.
When to drink it
Celebratory occasions, milestone anniversaries, special gifting, or savoring slowly on its own.
