    The 73rd Kōshū City Katsunuma Grape Festival will be held on Saturday, October 3

    The “Kōshū City Katsunuma Grape Festival” will be held in Katsunuma Town, Kōshū City, Yamanashi Prefecture—Japan’s premier grape- and wine-growing region.

    First, here’s a recommendation for all wine lovers. At this festival, 22 wineries from Katsunuma Town will set up booths, offering dozens of paid wine tastings featuring wines made primarily from grapes born and raised in Japan, such as “Koshu” and “Muscat ・ Bailey A.”

    For paid tastings, please first purchase a Katsunuma Glass + tasting ticket booklet of 10 tickets : for 3,000 yen (tax included). Then, present your tickets at the booths of the wineries you’re interested in to enjoy a tasting. If you’d like to taste more, please purchase an additional set of 10 : tickets for 2,000 yen (tax included). You can also purchase a bottle on the spot if you find a wine you like.

    The participating wineries are listed below.

    Asaya Wines Co., Ltd., Ikeda Winery Co., Ltd., Iwasaki Brewing Co., Ltd., Oizumi Wines Co., Ltd., Katsunuma Brewing Co., Ltd.,

    Kinjō Wine Co., Ltd., Château Katsunuma Co., Ltd., Château Jun Co., Ltd.,

    Château Belleforêt Winery Katsunuma Winery Co., Ltd., Shirayuri Brewing Co., Ltd.,

    Soryu Wines Co., Ltd., Chuo Wines Co., Ltd., Harashige Wine Co., Ltd., Fujiclair Winery Co., Ltd.,

    Maruki Wine Co., Ltd., Marufuji Wine Industry Co., Ltd., Mans Wine Co., Ltd. Katsunuma Winery,

    Mercian Co., Ltd. Château ・ Mercian, Morita Koshu Winery Co., Ltd., Yamato Wine Co., Ltd.,

    Kurumbon Wine Co., Ltd., Co., Ltd. Enzan Seisakusho MGVs Winery ( In no particular order )

    *Winery booths are open from 10:00 a.m. ~ to 5:00 p.m.

    Next, since this is the “Grape Festival,” there will, of course, be grapes for sale.

    Grapes will be sold by JA Fruit Yamanashi and tourist farms, so you can purchase popular varieties such as Shine Muscat at the venue.

    Also, don’t worry if you don’t drink wine. We’ll also be selling our annual favorite, “grape juice,” so you can fully savor the unique flavor of Katsunuma.

    Another highlight is the traditional Torii-yaki. A Goma fire ritual is performed at Daizen-ji Temple—known as the “Grape Temple”—and local middle school students, serving as the torch relay team ・ (divided into four districts representing the Katsunuma region), carry the sacred flame obtained from that ritual and run through the town. It’s truly moving to see them running their hardest, cheered on by spectators along the route and carrying the hopes of the Katsunuma community.

    The district teams then run to the festival grounds, where the main torch relay team ・ awaits, and hand over the sacred flame there. Having received the community’s hopes and the sacred flame from the district teams, the junior high school students of the main team set off toward Mt. Kashiwao.

    At 7:00 p.m., the Torii Bonfire will be lit. Since this can be viewed from the festival grounds, let’s all come together to welcome the festival’s grand finale. The combination of fireworks and the Torii Bonfire is sure to make for a moving finale.

    [Story]

    The time is the Muromachi period. The place is Kazusa Mōda in Chiba Prefecture ( Kazusa Mōda ) .
    To this bountiful village, yokai seeking freedom came to obtain the magnetic rock needed to launch themselves into space !
    However, only the “Earth People” living in this village were allowed to touch this magnetic rock.
    So the yokai concealed their true identities and devised a plan to exploit the villagers.
    Meanwhile, the villagers—plagued by water shortages and crop failures—witnessed the mysterious powers possessed by the yokai,
    and, seeing their lavish appearance and demeanor, rejoiced, declaring, “The gods of Basara have arrived.”
    Seizing this golden opportunity, the demons managed to strike a deal: in exchange for granting the villagers’ wishes, they would receive the magnetic rock.
    But ! what awaited the yokai was betrayal that shattered their plan and the wavering hearts of the villagers.
    With developments beyond imagination, the fate of the monsters ! ? and the villagers’ salvation … ! ? !
