Tokyo gourmets tasted Georgian wines from traditional Transcaucasian dishes.

A meeting "Double World Heritage" was held in Tokyo, during which visitors were able to taste the products of Georgian winemakers from kvevri - this is a classic way of making a drink in large ceramic products without handles, resembling an amphora. For eight years, this technology has been considered a monument of cultural heritage, because the oldest kvevri, whose age dates back to about the VI century BC, was located on Mount Khrami in Georgia.

The National Wine Agency reports that last year up to 200 thousand bottles of expensive premium quality wines were sold from Georgia to Japan. And in recent months, more than 60 thousand bottles have already been exported to this country. Such export volumes confirm that the land of the rising sun has been the most important buyer for the Georgian market for many years.

The main idea of the event was to combine traditional Georgian wines and Japanese cuisine "vashoku".

The event was coordinated by the contractor of the National Wine Agency, the head of the marketing company Red Bridge, Master of Wine Kenichi Ohashi and sommelier Saturu Mori, and the invited guest was the Ambassador of Georgia to Japan Teimuraz Lezhava.
