These figures count the winery listings on this site. Every listing carries its own sources and verification date. Anything we could not verify is left out of the count, so the real numbers may be higher. A founding year may refer to the parent company — often a sake brewery — rather than the year winemaking began.

According to Kumamoto's official tourism site, wine-grape growing in the prefecture began around twenty years ago, centred on Kikuka in Yamaga City, and some 30 contracted farms now grow the fruit. Kikuka Winery opened in November 2018. The Japan Wineries Association notes that Kumamoto was once said to be unsuited to grape growing, making this a comparatively young wine region.

Climate

The prefecture's official tourism site describes the Kikuka area as well suited to winemaking, citing the gap between day and night temperatures and the elevation of the vineyards.
