Akaneya Niagara White Grape Juice Karuizawa 1L
Karuizawa · Niagara Grape Juice Akaneya White Grape Juice Brought directly from Karuizawa — only by Hokkaido Uni Shop. What is Akaneya grape juice? This is a white grape juice from Akaneya, a coffee shop in Karuizawa — the historic highland resort in Nagano — that has been running for over half a century. It's made entirely from Japanese Niagara grapes, a variety known for a floral, aromatic scent and a crisp, clean sweetness, with notes of green apple and muscat. It comes in a 1-liter bottle. The juice was developed with input from people in the wine trade, aiming for an aromatic, well-balanced flavor rather than a simple sweet juice — all from the fruit, with no alcohol. Akaneya's grape juice is the same line that won a 2004 blind tasting held in Karuizawa, where sommeliers and wine buyers judged around two dozen juices with the labels hidden.
