In one of the large barrels displayed on the upper floor, you’ll see 4 wine bottles. The red wine on the far left was filled in 1879 by Masanari Takano, one of the founding fathers of Japanese wine. This bottle is the oldest bottle of Japanese wine that still has its original Burgundy pitch (spruce resin) seal. The white wine beside it is sealed with wax. The two bottles on the far right are from France.
