Commitment

Our Commitment

a happy life with wine.

"At Wine Shop Sommelier, we import wines ourselves from producers around the world and sell them directly to our customers, focusing on the "direct import and direct sales" style.
By taking advantage of direct import and direct sales, we are able to shorten the distribution route from producers to customers to the maximum extent possible, and by using a wine-centered management method, we are able to provide wines of the same high quality and excellent cost performance as those consumed in the country where the wine is produced.

By purchasing wine in bulk lots and using the shortest possible route to deliver it directly to our customers, we continue to strive to significantly cut costs and intermediate margins so that we can pass the savings on to our customers."

Normal route
(through several intermediaries)

  • Intermediary margins are involved, resulting in higher selling prices.
  • As it moves from one place to another, the wine deteriorates and is no longer in its original condition.

Cost cutting in these steps is achieved!

Wine Shop Sommelier Route
(Imported directly from producers)

  • Delivered in the shortest distance without extra margins!
  • The wines are always fresh because they are moved only minimally! We can deliver it to you in the best condition.

Delivered in the shortest distance!

Qualitymanagement

Commitment to transportation and storage
In order to deliver the local flavor, special consideration is given to the long transportation from the producer to Japan, and the transportation is carried out in the shortest distance.
Each bottle of wine that arrives at the warehouse is inspected by our staff. Wine is so delicate that it is called "crop products".
Strict standards are set and inspections are carried out so that we can deliver only wine in perfect condition without overlooking even the slightest abnormality.
At this time, if there is damage such as scratches on the exterior (label or bottle), it will be sold as a "defective items (there is nothing wrong with the contents) at a discounted price.
This is another great offer that only a wine store sommelier who imports directly can provide.

Online Winery Tour

Nowadays, it is difficult to travel abroad, so it is very popular that you can enjoy a tour of wineries from your home as if you were on a trip. At the end of last November, we held an event for the five major chateaus, Lafite Rothschild. We have received many applications for the event.

Cross-gender and age-neutral exchanges
Wine and Food Festival

This is a popular collaboration event held every year at the "Integrated Building of Wine and Food". With dozens of carefully selected wines available for unlimited consumption, authentic gourmet food specially prepared by the chef, and events for participants to interact with each other, the event is so popular that advance tickets are sold out every time.

Party to enjoy the marriage of wine and food

This is an at-home wine party where you can enjoy a variety of wine, listen to the basics of wine, and interact with the various people who join. Each month, we will set a theme for the party and propose a marriage of food and wine to our guests.

A little premium adult wine party with wine producers

This is a slightly high-class party to taste premium wines with wine producers. You will be able to listen to the stories of overseas winemakers in a small group while enjoying the marriage of the wine created by the producers with a special menu prepared just for this occasion.

Work experience-type events held at affiliated stores in which children play a leading role
