Launch of 'Amanatsusugiru Wine' - A 100% Amanatsu Fruit Wine Made from Sustainable Resources

KURAND Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Adachi-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yasuro Ogihara) will begin selling 'Amanatsusugiru Wine,' a fruit wine made from 100% Amanatsu oranges, on its online liquor store 'KURAND' starting from 17:00 on Thursday, April 23, 2026.

### A Fruit Wine Perfecting the Pure Charm of Amanatsu 'Amanatsusugiru Wine' is a fruit wine developed to maximize the pure fruit flavor of Amanatsu oranges. This product was born as part of a sustainable initiative to effectively utilize out-of-spec fruits. Based on a wine-making process that pairs well with meals, it concentrates the characteristic aroma and sweet-sourness of Amanatsu into a single bottle of 100% Amanatsu fruit wine.

### Highlights of 'Amanatsusugiru Wine' 1. **Luxurious Process Using Only 'Amanatsu Juice'** 'Amanatsusugiru Wine' is created by fermenting the Amanatsu juice itself. A long-established winery with over 50 years of history conducted the brewing using a process similar to grape wine. By adding fresh Amanatsu juice to the fermented wine, a dense sweetness and brilliant aroma derived 100% from Amanatsu are achieved. A unique production method that preserves the umami of the fruit pursues a pure taste.

2. **100% Tree-Ripened Mature Amanatsu from Nokonoshima** 100% of the raw materials are mature Amanatsu oranges from Nokonoshima, Fukuoka Prefecture. Grown in a warm climate with well-drained soil, these oranges are harvested using the 'tree-ripening' method, where they are allowed to mature on the tree longer than usual—sometimes for up to half a year more. This allows the acidity to become mellow and the sweetness to be strongly drawn out, giving the wine deep body and freshness.

3. **'Luxurious Extraction' by Winery Artisans** To ensure the potential of the Amanatsu is not compromised, winery artisans handle everything from juicing to processing. Since applying strong pressure during juicing can result in bitterness, they strictly follow a 'luxurious extraction' method, gently squeezing the fruit without unnecessary load. With some manual hand-squeezing incorporated, they extract only the original pure sweetness of the Amanatsu.
