“Art is present at every turn in Japan; in architecture, painting, pottery (ceramics), origami, manga comics, landscaping and, last but not least, in the preparation of food. The chefs, the masters of Japanese cuisine, are true artists, conjuring up true works of art for the soul and the body on the plate. And Japanese cuisine is the main reason why we have been present on the Japanese market for more than 20 years with our wines. We are united by our quest for purity of taste and our great attention to preserving the authentic flavours that nature offers us. We are building on our long-standing cooperation with Japan with the opening of the Art Embassy of Japan and the ART CIRCLE festival, which will be a beautiful completion of the circle of cooperation and creativity – fine art, cuisine and wine.“
