🏛️ About the Producer: Mutsu Hassen (陸奥八仙)
Mutsu Hassen is the flagship brand of Hachinohe Shuzō (八戸酒造), a brewery founded in 1775 in Hachinohe, Aomori Prefecture at the northern tip of Honshū, where harsh winters, pristine snowmelt water, and premium local rice varieties such as Hanafubuki and Gin'otome create ideal conditions for sake of exceptional purity and depth.
Now in its ninth generation, the brewery has undergone a remarkable renaissance, evolving from a traditional regional producer into one of Japan's most exciting and award-winning sake houses. Under the house philosophy of crafting sake that is vivid, aromatic, and food-friendly, Mutsu Hassen has earned recognition at the Annual Japan Sake Awards, the International Wine Challenge (IWC), and Kura Master in Paris.

🏡 The Domaine
Rooted in a family legacy stretching back to post-war Touraine, Domaine Mérieau is today led by Jean-François, who took the reins in 2000 after studying in Bordeaux and working in South Africa. The 35-hectare estate sits on the south-facing slopes of the Cher River in the tiny village of Saint-Julien-de-Chédon, with vines including century-old Côt and Pineau d'Aunis. Farmed organically with hand-harvesting and no commercial yeasts, the wines are vinified in a cave carved during the 14th century, a living testament to five generations of winemaking.

🏛️ About the Judgment of Paris
On 24 May 1976, British wine merchant Steven Spurrier organised a blind tasting in Paris pitting top California Chardonnays and Cabernet Sauvignons against the finest wines of Burgundy and Bordeaux. In a result that shocked the wine world, California took first place in both categories with Chateau Montelena's 1973 Chardonnay besting the white Burgundies, and Stag's Leap Wine Cellars' 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon triumphing over the Bordeaux first growths.
The event shattered the assumption of French supremacy, putting California and the entire New World firmly on the global wine map. Fifty years on, California remains one of the world's most dynamic and innovative wine regions.


Taste 14 selected California wines showcasing the Golden State's heritage and innovation, while learning the fundamentals of trick skateboarding under professional coaching.
Run in small rotating groups, the session lets you alternate between the ramp and the glass, equal parts adrenaline and elegance, a celebration of "Boldness" in its truest dual meaning.
