Vision
Wonderful wines that are still little known in Japan are scattered across the world. At Kanow Corporation, our goal is to share undiscovered wines throughout Japan and energize both wine producers around the globe and Japan itself.
With that passion, we deliver unseen masterpieces to you.
Message from the President
Wines filled with a producer’s passion and story reveal many different expressions from the moment the cork is pulled.
The time of day, the weather, what you’re wearing, and who gathers around the table—
the mood you feel can change completely with the setting. That is wine’s fascination and its depth.
Why can we convey that depth to the fullest?
Because we combine a sommelier’s sensibility with the perspective of a business owner who has long worked on the front lines of the food and beverage world.
These masterpieces—now finally able to be encountered in Japan—show their true worth even more through pairing with food.
Our rare lineup, not carried by major distributors, will become a powerful way to offer your customers new discoveries and delight.
Please experience the story as it slowly unfolds in your glass.

About Our Name & Logo
In our name “Kanow,” we put our hope that wishes will “come true”—that we can overcome the pandemic and any hardship.
Our logo combines a glass of red wine with the initial “K,” forming the sail of a ship that crosses the seas. It represents our determination to discover new worlds and take bold leaps forward—like the Age of Exploration.
The colors are based on brown, symbolizing the soil—source of life and essential to winemaking—and the passionate red of red wine.
