Brand Declaration

Grape wine in a cup of night-light —
we would drink, but the pipa hurries us to horse.
Laugh not if I lie drunk on the battlefield:
since ancient times, how few return from war.

Wang Han's 'Liangzhou Ci' — wine of grapes, a night-light cup, the pipa's sound, the frontier moon.
Twenty-eight characters: the beginning of everything we make.

— Silk Road, a thousand years, one cup —

What is YUQUAN?

A winery and cultural brand based in Jiayuguan, Gansu Province, China. It makes wine shaped by the Dunhuang sky and the Qilian Mountains, telling the story of "grape wine in a night-luminous cup."

What is a night-luminous cup?

A cup carved thin from Qilian jade. Wine poured into it glows through the wall like moonlight, and it is celebrated in the Tang poem "Grape Wine in a Night-Luminous Cup." Jiuquan night-luminous cup carving is a Chinese national intangible cultural heritage.

Can I order from Japan?

Yes. We ship anywhere in Japan, with next-day delivery, gift wrapping and traditional noshi decoration available.

Do you offer non-alcoholic wine?

Alcohol (wine and spirits) is currently suspended while licensing and import/export rules are under review. Night-luminous cups, restored Dunhuang mural art, cultural products and teas remain available as normal.
