Me and my dog in the beautiful village of Hautvillers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hello, I\u2019m Hiromi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been a professional in the Champagne industry for over 20 years. My journey began in wine journalism and retail in Japan, and since 2013, I have been living and working in the heart of the Champagne region itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having lived in both Reims and \u00c9pernay, I\u2019ve had the unique opportunity to work with both a Grande Maison and a local grower producer. My formal studies in wine marketing in France further deepened my professional and cultural understanding of the region. These diverse experiences have given me a balanced perspective\u2014from grand, centuries-old traditions to the authentic, hands-on world of grower-producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To me, Champagne is about more than just flavor. I am endlessly captivated by the beauty of its bubbles, the brilliance in the glass, and the way it brings a touch of happiness to any occasion. Above all, I hold a deep respect for the terroir and the timeless traditions that nurture these exceptional wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local Insight into Champagne, Rooted in 20 Years of Professional Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why I started this English blog<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In my daily work, I often have the opportunity to speak with guests from all over the world. Through these conversations, I began to notice small gaps in information\u2014details that could make a trip much smoother or more meaningful if known in advance. I realized that sharing these local insights in English could be genuinely helpful for those planning their own journey to the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you can expect here<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

My goal is not to act as a tour guide, but to share practical and thoughtful advice based on my years of experience living and working here. Whether you are looking for a deeper understanding of the local culture or tips for your upcoming visit, I hope the information here helps you enjoy the Champagne region to the fullest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
