MIZUKI「J」is a 2025-vintage red wine from Nasu 661 Wine Hills in Nasu, Tochigi Prefecture, blending 30% of the estate's standard MIZUKI (a medium-to-full-bodied red made from the winery's proprietary Nasu no Shizuku grape) with 70% Kyoho grape rosé. The blend balances the deep, wild richness of Nasu no Shizuku with the bright, fruity sweetness of Kyoho, producing a lighter and more approachable red than the standalone MIZUKI, at a lower price point.
MIZUKI「J」proves that blending doesn't mean compromise — Kyoho's juicy sweetness rounds out Nasu no Shizuku's wild intensity into one of the winery's most drinkable reds.
