On May 10 and 11, "marche of the Sun" was held at Tsukishima Daini Children's Park.
At the Aozora Market, which started in September 2013, about 100 stores from all over Japan open each time with the theme of local vegetables and seasonal ingredients according to the season, and is crowded with nearly 20,000 visitors, making it one of the largest urban marche in Japan.
The theme this time is "Koshu Wine and Japanese Food".
"Koshu Wine" is gaining worldwide reputation, including the registration of "Koshu" as a grape variety in the international wine screening organization OIV in 2010, receiving numerous awards at international wine competitions, and starting exports to Europe.
On the other hand, Japanese food was registered in UNESCO Intangible Cultural Property last year.
Various combinations of "Koshu wine" and "Japanese food" and how to enjoy it are proposed.
The wineries that participated this time were 1 Sadya in Yamanashi Prefecture, 2 Yamanashi Ryohin, 3 East Chen Yoshu, 4 Central Wine, 5 Maruki Wine, 6 Katsunuma Wine, 7 Grape Shop kofu, 8 Tsuruya Brewery 9 Sanyo Brewery 10 Yamanashi Fermentation.
Yamanashi Prefecture's wine culture includes "Isho bottle wine", "Wine drink in teacup", and "Wine drink with Japanese food".
According to the history, in Yamanashi, wine was encouraged and produced as part of a policy of breeding and industry in the early Meiji era. Yamanashi's wine culture is said to have started with Issho bottles, and gradually penetrates from ceremonial occasions to daily dinners. At one time, it was shipped outside the prefecture, but with 720/750ml becoming mainstream, most of it now is said to be for local people.
In addition, it is common to drink wine with a glass, but it is said that many people drink wine in the familiar "teacup" because of the flow of sake.
(A cup of tea bowl is also attached to the side of the display of the one sho bottle in the booth.)
The roots of "appetizers" in the local area are said to be "boiled" or "pickles", but the characteristic of the taste of "Koshu wine" is "delicacy", "decreased" and "cooperation". In other words, it seems that it is easy to match with any dish.
"Issho bottle wine to drink in teacup with Japanese food" "Koshu wine style" is also fun to interact with different cultures.
