More than 900 kinds of wine from the world are being exhibited and sold at this Fair. Those wines are also being sold at high-grade department store named DAIMARU, same like level of Harrods in London, U.K.

Shigehiko Nishihama, Representative of FIPA in Japan, presented on this occasion the BiH wines by introducing directly them to Japanese consumers.

Japanese consumers enjoyed tasting BiH wine and they were very surprised by its high quality, especially, Vino Manastir Tvrdoš Vranac 2013 and Vinogradi Nuić Trnjak 2013.

Thanks to the efforts of Mr Nishihama, in January 2014, for the first time, BiH started exporting the BiH wines to Japan.

Japanese import company named M & P Corporation (Tokyo) decided to import total 9 kinds of BiH wine (6 Red, 3 White) from 2 wineries, Vinograd Nuić (Ljubuški) and Vino Manastira Tvrdoš (Trebinje) in January 2014.

These 9 kinds of BiH wine are being sold at stores and on the Web-site shopping mall in Japan, for example, as follows; http://item.rakuten.co.jp/chichukai/c/0000000358/

FIPA Representative Mr Nishihama has good relations with BiH wineries more than 12 years, he visited their wineries and promoted the quality of BiH wine to Japanese.

He will continue to do best for promoting and growing BiH wine in Japanese markets without any budget allocated by BiH.
