The origin of "Kozan"

Daikokuten Brand was a genuine
wine produced by Ryuken Tsuchiya
and Masanari Takano. The Kaisan Ebi
brand was a later brand from
Miyazaki, sweetened for ease of
consumption.

The alias of Denbee's father Hyosuke, a haiku-writing
dilettante. Kamiya Denbee Sr. named the new brand of sweet
wine after his father so as to never forget his gratitude
towards him.

Daizen-ji Wine Culture (Koshu)
In the late 19th century, a "wine-lover's
movement" was organized to encourage local
production and consumption of wine as opposed
to sake. One can tell how engrained wine culture
is around Katsunuma by the existence ofKashiwan Wine, produced by the priests andparishioners of Daizen-ji Temple. This wine isused in rituals and distributed at celebrations.

Ryuken Cellar

Nationally Registered Tangible Cultural Asset

A partially-underground, brickwork wine cellar built in the late 19th
century. The construction techniques used were cutting edge for thetime, and meant to improve wine quality.

Tangible Cultural Asset

Originally constructed in 1897 as the Katsunuma Post and Telegraph Office, thebuilding became the Yamanashi Tanaka Bank in 1920, adding a brickwork
storehouse. This valuable building was used to invest in large-scale wine grape
purchases, supporting the growth of multiple wineries.

Shipments to the station were
pulled by horse. In an
expression of gratitude to thehorses, the roadside watering
area was stone-paved.

Former Ohikage /Fukasawa Tunnels
Brickwork tunnels constructed at the same period; the Chuo Line tunnel was
finished in 1902. The opening of the railroad the following year made it possible totransport large shipments of grapes and wine to Tokyo. They're still in use today asboth the Katsunuma Wine Cave and as an example of tunnel construction.

Municipal Cultural Asset

Former Miyazaki Winery (Miyakoen)
This winery was constructed by Miyazaki Kotaro in 1892 on his own
estate, and later served as a wine tourism destination. The city of Koshu
runs it now, and visitors to it will learn about the start of Japan's wine
industry and its characteristics.
