＜What is Goshu-vin-cho ?＞

Before introducing Goshu-vin-cho, we would like to explain the Japanese culture of ‘goshu-in-cho’.

When you visit a Shinto shrine or Buddhist temple in Japan, you will often see people lining up at the counter, clutching a small notebook ‘goshu-in-cho’. 

They are waiting to collect a ‘goshu-in’— a distinctive stamp of each temple or shrine; the more they visit, the more the stamps they collect.  

The notebook serves as proof of their pilgrimage to a particular shrine or temple, but also as a tangible reminder of their travels and experiences.

We have taken this traditional culture of goshu-in-cho into a natural wine context and created the 'Gosh-vin-cho’.

It works in the same way as the goshu-in-cho system, but here the selected restaurants or bars serving natural wines take on the role of the temples or shrines.  

When people visit the participating restaurants or bars with their goshu-vin-cho notebooks, they receive an original stamp, just as with goshu-in.

The Goshu-vin-cho is not only for keeping a memento of your natural wine journey, but also a playful tool to bring together wine connoisseurs and enthusiasts together in a good old-fashioned way at the midst of the digital age.

＜How to enjoy Goshu-vin-cho ?＞

1. Upon arrival at the restaurant or bar, hand over your "Goshu-vin-cho" notebook to the staff and choose a natural wine from the menu.
2. Your natural wine is on its way. After you meet, begin to savor and enjoy the moment with others around you.
3. Remember your notebook before you leave. It will be stamped as a memento of your experience.
4. Collect stamps in your Goshu-vin-cho: fill the empty pages when you fill your glass.
