About Us
From small waterworks company to winery
HAYASAKA Yuto
Managing director
We started as a small waterworks company, and worked in real estate, urban planning, and as a welfare corporation until expanding into the winery business. Our winery division’s Ryomi Vineyard and Winery was built on farmland overflowing with natural beauty. We’re developing a variety of businesses ranging from grape production to wine fermentation, restaurants, and lodging facility management, and are receiving guests not only from the local region but from far afield.
Vision
Bringing out the potential of local land and human talent
At Ryomi Winery, we aim to revalue agriculture, transforming it into a reason for townspeople to gather together. Also, we attempt to merge welfare and agriculture via the models of other localities, taking it upon ourselves to engage in job creation for people with disabilities. When it comes to our wine production, we consider it to be of great importance to bring out the Bordeaux-esque potential of our grapes.

The power to match human potential with a diverse range of work
We’re looking for the sort of person who can share our passion and cooperate with the work that Ryomi Winery is currently involved in and with the future challenges we’ve set for ourselves. These include a variety of engagements involving wine, from our restaurant to lodging facility management to welfare activities. Although you wouldn’t need any specialized skills or a high level of Japanese ability, we are looking for the sort of person who can see from a range of vantage points, is flexible, and sees people as human beings.

We’re waiting for you!
Ryomi Winery doesn’t just produce wine; we’re a company that’s more akin to a large family, working towards realizing a strong local society via support for the disabled and more. Our company values not only Japanese language skills and proficiency, but also personal character. For those who appreciate a challenge, applying to work here might just be the perfect opportunity.
International students would like to know
How are you managing your business during the COVID-19 crisis?
We opened our restaurant in April of this year, but we’ve been able to continue operating thanks to the understanding of the local populace. Also, we’re planning on bringing more tourists in from the Sendai metropolitan area and other prefectures in line with the new reality of our lifestyles, focusing on carrying out micro-tourism aimed at small groups of people.
How do you plan on popularizing your wine via the employment of exchange students?
Rather than expanding from Miyagi Prefecture to the Greater Tokyo Area, we’re planning on taking on the challenge of exporting to Thailand, Taiwan, California, and other overseas locations, as well as expanding our online sales. Additionally, in order to create inbound demand, we’re hoping to make our location one with the sort of appeal that can draw in more overseas visitors. We’re hoping to work together with exchange students to make all of this possible.
