today I'm taking you to a place that
some Japanese don't want foreigners to
know about I know because when I asked
if I could film and share this beautiful
area with travelers Iowa so know by
several places only sighting that they
felt ill equipped to provide the proper
hospitality aka omotenashi may be
understandable but as long as you are
spread phul and mind your manners
I don't see why everyone shouldn't be
able to experience his amazing place
just like the Japanese locals
I love this train this is like the
perfect day trip so I have three and I
just ate one I'm having a hard time
choosing what to eat next I don't know
it depends what do you recommend
next so I just had it cut off yes okay
so this hidden place is cut Sonoma
Yamanashi
Yamanashi prefecture produces the most
wine in Japan and cut Sonoma is the city
that has lots of well-known wineries and
it's only about one and a half to two
hours away from Shinjuku Station if you
hop on the Express train you don't even
need to worry about the transfer which
makes it a perfect one day getaway
Wow so that was a quickest trip on the
train it felt like only 30 minutes but
it was actually more like an hour and a
half but wow I just loved being on the
second floor that train you feel like
you can really really see all the
landscape going to Japan it's such a
beautiful train the landscape here is
even more beautiful
[Music]
these are all different wineries here
you can actually rent bikes here and
there pedal-assist so even though
there's hills it'll like help you up the
hill which is nice so I've actually been
to Bhutan okay over there a long time
ago maybe like three or four years ago
but I haven't been back since and this
place is just a so beautiful I was there
like kind of in the fall and it was
really really cold where I was right now
it's a perfect weather it's really nice
and sunny so apparently the easiest
thing to do is just ride the taxi there
right when you get off the station there
is a taxi stand right here you can see
you might want to get out a little bit
earlier because all the people behind me
are waiting in line for the taxi
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
so just behind me is the winery that
we're gonna go to today when you think
of Japan you never really think of
Japanese wine but they actually have
some of the best wine in the world and I
definitely wanted to show you guys and
this is one of the trips that you can
take yourself and it's super easy to get
here yeah so today let's just have fun I
want to show you around this winery and
then maybe we'll get into some other
stuff outside because we have an entire
day here
[Music]
this is a pretty cool lounge
[Music]
and look how dope this place is it has
its own bar it has a spout kane' over
here
I'm just really impressive like how I
like spick-and-span the slices here's a
question yes I got it I got it right
again and of all the places we asked my
turkey winery was the only place kind
enough to let us film and it's cool
because they're the oldest winery in
Japan we learned that it was established
by mr. sutiya who was one of the first
two people who were sent to France to
study wine production in 1877
while we get a really strong sense of
like the wine you could smell it in the
air
I was almost like a rotten smell but it
smells good we also learned a little bit
about the history of the place how they
make wine and got to take a look inside
the wine barrel storage look at all
these barrels behind me this is amazing
I feel like I'm in an actual dream you
can just live here for the rest of your
life all right
now off to the vineyard let's go and
they even have cute sheep everywhere
these fluffy guys eat grass chill all
day and sneak a few grapes when they can
now off to the vintage wine cellar more
than 35,000 bottles of wine are quietly
sleeping in this dark and cold cellar
and after all that we got to taste
online we got to taste five different
types of wine in this dope private
tasting room next to the wine cellar
[Music]
this is so good it's so clean and just
going easy to drink wow this is like a
taste I've never had before it's so
sweet and easy to drink it feels like
I'm eating candy Georgia cook oh sure
look at that I would never try to kill
icon for it's very interesting I'm
definitely not as I'm ass then we just
forgot to pay for the tour we gotta go
back we've got to go back gotta go back
soon what's up thank you son that's a
guy yeah yeah Giza
you get that behind me they have like a
canvas of grapes just sheltering them
from the heat check it out there's a
liquor store right by the elementary
school we visited another winery
Kurama Boone winery I can't show you
inside but this beautiful 130 year old
house was renovated as a wine salon
there 500yen wine tasting is definitely
worth the visit but remember to mind
your manners so we just finished the
wine tours and go into all the different
places which is pretty awesome today but
we have like an hour to kill and replied
by the station you brought a lot of wine
so we might as well just kind of like
enjoy it today
look we're having a picnic so I got some
wine from the rhinorrhea at muttaqi the
thing is one of you can open it with
luckily I actually brought a wine opener
today it comes in this plush box and
here's the sleek wine opener wine seal
cutter co2 cartridge then take the seal
cutter and twist it like so and it comes
off just like this so I got this wine
opener for this company called that
peril it's pretty cool is that it has
kind of like a needle at the bottom that
punctures actual wine cork and then you
actually have whoa yeah I actually put
the co2 already didn't know that it
would do that all you have to do is
apparently puncture this cork with this
needle here and it has like a hole in
here so just pop it in like this like so
and think we just press this button
right here one two three
look at that and pop right open pretty
span right cork is right there I
think just like to take it off unscrew
it like this
and then you pop it off easy as that
one-two-three Dunsey now we have a good
bottle one drink
