HAJIME
This is a deep, serious 322 bottle list built around French heavyweights with a strong Japanese counterweight that you do not see on most lists. Champagne anchors it with 50 listings, including grower houses like Agrapart, and Burgundy runs through both whites and reds with names like Etienne Sauzet and Clos Rougeard from the Loire sitting alongside Bordeaux. The real signature is the domestic depth, with Yamanashi and producers such as Fermier, Kusuda, Beau Paysage, and Okuizumo Winery giving you serious Japanese reds and whites to pour for curious guests. Reds lead the list at 153 selections over 96 whites, and pricing is in yen with bottles running roughly 6,800 to 46,800, so this is a splurge format more than an everyday one. The glass program is tight at 12 pours, so steer guests who want range toward bottles, and this list rewards anyone who wants top Champagne, Burgundy, or a genuine taste of Japanese wine.
