Did you know that Osaka is actually a wine-producing region? During the Meiji era, when Koshu grape seedlings were transplanted throughout Japan, cultivation of Koshu grapes began in Osaka. Without any further variety improvements, cultivation expanded rapidly, and in the early Showa period, Osaka boasted the largest cultivation area in the country. Since then, Koshu wine in its original form has been produced in Osaka to this day. Katashimo Winery has been brewing Koshu wine since its founding in 1914. While other vineyards have switched to grapes that are easier to cultivate, they insist on using Koshu grapes because it is a source of pride for Osaka wine.
