Imagine leaving Kyoto’s bustling city center and Arashiyama behind, venturing deep into the mountains where a serene river flows amidst dense greenery. In this secluded haven lies a hidden treasure trove of some of the world’s rarest wines. The exact location is undisclosed and accessible only by car, making the journey feel almost mythical. Yet, “it” truly exists.

Within meticulously temperature-controlled wine cellars, bottles like Domaine Emmanuel Rouget (2005) and La Tâche (2013) are carefully stored, creating a collection that would leave any wine enthusiast in awe. However, these wines are not just stored away—they are meant to be savored.

In Kyoto’s Higashiyama district, the Michelin two-starred gem “Sumibi Kappo Ifuki” offers wines sourced exclusively from this cellar. Here, you can indulge in exquisite moments, pairing these rare wines with the flavors and aromas of charcoal-grilled cuisine. This experience represents the pinnacle of culinary and oenological harmony, delivering exceptionally selected wines to discerning guests.

Thanks to the generous offer from the wine cellar’s owner, a special wine list has been curated exclusively for Aristos readers, available for limited purchase.

Seize this rare opportunity to enjoy wines that cannot be found elsewhere and savor their unique value to the fullest.

Stored in ideal conditions, our extensive wine collection includes exquisite Champagnes like Guillaume Selosse Largillier Blanc de Noirs. When purchasing from our magazine, it is recommended to convey your preferences for a more personalized selection.
