The ability to sell products that make you buy them even when you don't intend to.

Kaldi's unique feature is that it imports and sells unique ingredients from around the world, and because it is particular about coffee, it is a store that has a high support rate among coffee fans . On the other hand, while Kaldi has a strong image of coffee, it also has a strong commitment to "wine" , and stocks wines from New World wine producing regions such as Italy, France, Germany, Spain, California, and South Africa.
Another key point is that the prices are within an affordable range, with most of the wines priced under 1,000 yen, and in the mid-range between 2,000 and 3,000 yen.
Characteristics of Kaldi Wine
Kaldi Wine is known for its high cost performance . Some stores also sell high-end wines, but the regular wines in the lineup at most stores are priced between 1,000 and 3,000 yen, making them an affordable price range .
In addition, they offer wines that make full use of the characteristics of the region and variety, making them easy to enjoy even for wine novices . For example, Kaldi Wine carries wines from these producers.
- Isan Patrignano Italy/Emilia Romagna
- Familia Cotarella Italy/Umbria
- Bronco Wine Company USA/California
- Pere Ventura Spain/Catalonia
- Casa Santos Lima Portugal
- Champagne Paul Goulet France/Champagne
- Casa Bellalbero Italy/Emilia Romagna
- Henri Erard France/Alsace
- Astoria Italy/Veneto
What's interesting is that the lineup changes depending on the season, with some wines having been aged for a long time and others being new wines such as Nouveau.
Kaldi's Japanese wine
Kaldi has a strong image as an importer, so some people may think that the wines they sell are all imported .Camel Farm Winery has a shop and a cafe, so you can spend some relaxing time looking at the vineyards. I recommend it. The wine made here can be bought at #KALDI stores nationwide, but depending on the season, it can only be bought at the winery. It's recommended as a souvenir! #YoichiGourmet #Wine #YoichiSouvenirpic.twitter.com /vMHxWKG4Es

In fact, over 90% of the wines in the lineup are imported, but they also carry Japanese wines .
From here, we will introduce Camel Farm Winery, which is gaining popularity at Kaldi.
Camel Farm Winery
Camel Farm Winery is located in Yoichi, Hokkaido, which is currently the most popular wine producing region in Japan.Japanese wine is made from the concept of "One and Only in YOICHI. This place allows us to take on the world. The gentle hills and the high ground with a view of the sea." The winery has a total area of 16.2 hectares, which is quite large for a Japanese wine producer. Camel Farm Winery continues to produce the best Japanese wine, inheriting the techniques and knowledge from Takeshi Fujimoto, and making full use of traditional Italian methods and the latest technology.
The appeal of Kaldi Wine is pairing
If you want to know the charm of Kaldi wine, you have to enjoy food pairing . Since Kaldi is a store that mainly sells imported ingredients, many foods are sold in the same store .Therefore, in addition to purchasing wine, why not also purchase some food products from Kaldi to enjoy a complete pairing experience at Kaldi ?
From here, we will introduce recommended pairings for each color of Kaldi wine.
If you drink red wine, use plenty of tomato sauce and cheese.
Kaldi's red wine selection is centered around Italian wines . Of course, they also have New World wines from California and other places, as well as wines from France's Bordeaux and Burgundy, but overall, their selection features red wines with fresh acidity and gentle, silky tannins .
Therefore, try combining popular canned tomatoes and tomato sauce from Kaldi, as well as tomato sauce pasta made with plenty of cheese.
Kaldi also stocks a wide range of powdered herbs, so using these may help to pair better with the blue nuances of red wine.
White wines are creamy
At Kaldi, we stock a wide range of white wines, from refreshing white wines to slightly aged white wines with a fuller body.
As mentioned above, tomato sauce is a popular item at Kaldi, but they also have a wide variety of cream sauces , which go perfectly with Kaldi's white wine .
For example, it would be interesting to pair the sauce with chicken, or with penne or gnocchi.
One of the most recommended dishes is the gratin, which uses white sauce and is topped with penne, herbs, and cheese, and goes perfectly with white wine.
It's delicious not only during the cold winter months, but also in the summer when you have it in an air-conditioned room.
Ethnic rose wine and sparkling wine
Kaldi is also known for its wide selection of rosé and sparkling wines. High-value rosé and sparkling wines are very attractive because they are easy to incorporate into your daily meals .
If you have rosé or sparkling wine, why not try pairing it with ethnic cuisine ? Kaldi has a wide selection of ethnic condiments, including Taiwanese, Southeast Asian, and Chinese.
For example, why not try pairing boiled dumplings with ethnic sauces and seasonings, or pan-fried dumplings with Kaldi's rosé wine or sparkling wine?
Many of Kaldi's rosé wines and sparkling wines are mild and easy to drink, so they will go well with these ethnic wines .
By the way, rosé wine goes perfectly with Kaldi's popular butter chicken curry .

It's a rosé from a famous region in Portugal. It has a fresh fruity taste with an orange scent. I paired it with "Tarako Spread" which can be bought at Kaldi. It goes great with the tarako spaghetti. pic.twitter.com/d66hq9CVTz

This wine is made in DOC Vinho Verde, a DOC that produces refreshing Portuguese wines , and its slight fizz is what makes it so appealing.
This is a very fresh rosé wine with gorgeous aromas of cherry, cranberry, blackberry, and candy, and lively acidity.
It might be interesting to try pairing it with cod roe pasta , taking advantage of the unique idea of "matching colors."

Cava is made using the same bottle-fermentation method as Champagne and is known as a high-value wine that offers refreshing flavors of citrus, green apple, and toasty notes.
It can be used for a wide range of dishes, from Japanese to ethnic, but it also pairs well with leftover prosciutto, a popular item at Kaldi, so it would be great to try using it as a stylish evening drink.
