Katsuragi Grapes

When you take a bite, the skin pops, and sweet juice bursts across your palate. Supported by a clean acidity that lingers in the background, you'll find yourself reaching for more—these are grapes grown at the foot of Katsuragi, Nara. Grape cultivation in Nara began around the late Meiji era, built upon the foundation of small-grained, intensely sweet Delaware grapes. Today, various varieties such as Kyoho and Shine Muscat bear fruit in abundance. Each cluster ripens under plenty of sunshine on gentle hills overlooking the mountains of Kongo and Katsuragi. Every single grape is packed tightly with sweet juice. When eaten well-chilled, a sweetness like a reward at the end of summer spreads throughout your mouth.
