Heavy snow, heavy snow, and more heavy snow! Where is the first wind of spring? How are you all doing these days as we look forward to spring?

Every year at this time, we witness entrance exams, graduations, and new beginnings - changes in our lives - and we are amazed at how quickly time passes and how much children and young people grow.

Our products from Ark Tategamori are also used as gifts to celebrate new beginnings and life milestones. Speaking of "new beginnings" and "celebrations," alcohol is a must. If you have visited Ark Tategamori, you may know that there is a "wine cellar" in the farm market. In addition, at the natural food restaurant Till's, we not only serve wine, but also local beer such as Kura Beer from Ichinoseki City and Bearn Beer from Morioka City.

Thanks to these connections, we have been selling alcoholic beverage sets on our online shop for some time now. This time, we would like to introduce our "Bone-in Loin Dinner Set with a Choice of Wine," which was very popular from Christmas to the New Year last year.

The feature of this set is that the wine supplier, who is familiar with the popular Tategamori Kogen pork bone-in loin, and our wine specialist have carefully selected three wines that go well with the bone-in loin. Each wine has its own story and characteristics. The noble Bordeaux white wine "Clarendre Blanc" has a refreshing and elegant taste, the red wine "Clarendre Rouge" has a smooth mouthfeel created after aging with the elegant fruitiness inherited from Chateau Haut-Brion, and the "Orange Gold" has a gorgeous aroma and volume created by blending multiple grapes. In particular, "Clarendre Rouge" is a wine that has always maintained a high ranking in the "Enoteca Staff Selection Wine Shop Grand Prix" by Enoteca, the supplier, ranking second in 2023 and third in 2024-25. Although each has its own characteristics, we are proud that they are the perfect match for Tategamori Kogen pork bone-in loin steak.

It's the season of new encounters, farewells, and new beginnings. As a planning and sales department, we would be delighted if you could enjoy a wonderful time with a juicy, sweet, and voluminous Tategamori Highland pork loin steak, along with your choice of a carefully selected wine.

The weather has been quite unsettled this winter, so please take care of yourselves.
