Do Sumou!




Founded in 1914.
The oldest surviving winery in Western Japan. They began making wine by utilizing the brewing techniques of Japanese sake.
Kashiwara City, where Katashimo Winery is located, is Osaka's leading grape-producing region. The Taiheiji district is the site of Chishiki-ji Temple, where Emperor Shomu was inspired to build the Great Buddha (Rushana Buddha) of Todai-ji Temple. The area is lined with old farmhouses, preserving a historic atmosphere. The vineyards spread across the steep slopes, and the observation deck offers views of the Osaka cityscape, including Abeno Harukas, and the Yamato River. Grapes grown on the winery's own farm with reduced pesticides and organic fertilizer have been certified as eco-agricultural products by Osaka Prefecture. The winery's storage facility, built during the Taisho era, is registered as a national tangible cultural property. The winery also houses a museum displaying winemaking equipment used during the Taisho and Showa eras (designated as a city cultural property). Reservations are required for tours of the winery, which are held irregularly.
