Limited-time offer: "Yama Budou" Grape Juice Tasting Box (5-bottle assortment)
What is Yama Budou?
Yama Budou, formally called “Nihon Yama Budou” which translates to “Japanese Mountain Grape”, is one of the only 2 native grape varieties in Japan. For centuries, Yama Budou has been consumed by ancient Japanese natives and animals for their high nutrients and antioxidant-rich properties.
These grapes are only harvested from select trees over 15 years old in the mountainside of Iwate Prefecture, Japan. The juice from the slowly squeezed grapes is sealed in an airtight tank and aged for 3-5 years. Because it’s sealed airtight, the juice remains unfermented. Thanks to Iwate’s cold climate, all the bitterness of the grapes transforms into a pleasant smoothness with time.

Japanese wild grape or “Yama Budou” is a rare variety of grapes only grown in the northern mountains of the Tohoku region.
