Wine Concierge
Hiroyuki Yoshida

Born in Yamagata Prefecture. Fascinated by the charm of French cuisine, he honed his skills in wine and customer service at a hotel in Tateshina Highlands. He then worked for about 30 years as a restaurant manager at “Hakuba Resort Hotel La Neige East Wing” in Hakuba Village, Nagano Prefecture.

Recognizing the appeal of pairing French cuisine with Japanese wines, he began by contracting with wineries in his native Yamagata Prefecture, gradually expanding his connections with wineries across the country. In 2008, he was responsible for selecting and serving domestic wines at the “34th G8 Summit” held in Lake Toya, Hokkaido. Currently, he is also active as a member of the sensory evaluation committee for GI Nagano wines.
