Since we started importing wines directly from the producers, we have built up a good relationship with them. Even now, we still visit our producers every year and keep watching their quality and their wine-making with our own eyes. Some producer said, "Making a little effort which other people do not, makes a big difference in the quality of the wine". He checks each grain of the grapes very carefully and uses only good grains. The other producer said to us with enthusiasm, "it is very important for me WHO and HOW my wines are sold in the market." You can see the producers' enthusiasm for the quality in a bottle of their wine. It is one of our important jobs to inform their enthusiasm and their philosophy about their wine-making to the Japanese wine consumers.
