Osaki Winery
大﨑ワイナリー
A farming family's fresh, table-grape wines from Miyagi.
Osaki Winery is a small family-run winery in Osaki City, Miyagi Prefecture, founded in 2019 and licensed for winemaking in February 2020. Led by Takanori Kito, whose family has farmed in the region for generations — first strawberries, then table grapes (Steuben) — the winery uses almost exclusively its own estate-grown table grapes: Campbell Early for red, Niagara for white, and Steuben for rosé. Rather than pursuing weight or complexity, Osaki Winery focuses on fresh, light-bodied, easy-drinking wines released under the Osaki Harvest (red), Osaki Brew (white), and Osaki Banquet (rosé) labels, reflecting the region's agricultural heritage.

Who Is This For?
