Background of the Foundation
Currently, Tohoku is facing various problems, including the issues caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake and a lack of agricultural successors, which are impeding the region's recovery and development. In response to these issues, Akiu Winery is a base that connects, nurtures, and revitalizes local resources, promoting regional revitalization. Akiu Winery was chosen as the site for its founding, as it is close to the center of Sendai City, has good access to other parts of Tohoku, has a climate and soil suitable for grape cultivation, and has a natural landscape rich in scenery suitable for a winery.
Three strengths that Sendai Akiu Winery considers
- The power to connect people, people and regions, and regions and regions
- The power to stimulate and nurture a variety of industries, including agriculture, commerce, and tourism
- Ability to blend in and highlight diverse cultures such as food, crafts, and music
I would like to put these ideas into practice through wine.
