wine-searcher US average, 750ml. Weaker than a single named retailer — averages blend ordinary shops with collector shops, so they run high on scarce bottles. Replace when a Total Wine listing is confirmed.
Shops receive limited quantities. Sells out, but turns up if you look.
Our estimate · checked August 2026
Mashed, fermented, distilled, matured and bottled in Japan, per the Japan Spirits & Liqueurs Makers Association standard.
Matured at nearly 800m in the Central Alps, where the cold slows everything down. Bottled at 50% and better for it. The most accessible way into Mars.
