Yuko Kameda – Cava Kameda (Osaka Prefecture)

Yuko Kameda is a sparkling wine specialist producing pét-nat and méthode ancestrale styles in Osaka. A self-taught winemaker with a background in brewing, she founded Cava Kameda to explore Japan’s potential for natural sparkling wines.
Her approach combines meticulous vineyard care—no chemical inputs, hand-harvesting, and native yeast fermentations—with a playful, experimental attitude. Grapes include Delaware, Koshu, and Muscat Bailey A, sourced from small local growers.
Kameda’s sparkling wines are delicate, cloudy, and brimming with energy. Each bottle captures her belief that effervescence should express life itself—vivid, unpredictable, and joyous..
