Subscription Service User Guide
 

Our subscription service delivers products once a month. ITALIAKARA (Nichio Shoji), which has been collecting and investing in Italian wines for half a century, delivers rare Italian wines to special customers. We recommend our subscription service to those who want to enjoy Italian wines even more.

 Subscription Service Benefits

5. Invitation to Dinner Once a Year

ITALIAKARA will host a dinner with ITALIAKARA staff to discuss Italian wines once a year for subscription service customers. In 2026, we plan to hold it at the Italian Embassy. Enjoy interacting with other subscription members.

※The month of the dinner varies each year. Please note that if you cancel your subscription in the month the dinner is held, you will not be able to attend. This is a benefit exclusively for subscription members. Furthermore, ITALIAKARA staff will contact you individually by email to confirm your attendance for the dinner invitation each year. Therefore, even if you newly subscribe to the service in the month the dinner is held, you may not be invited due to the number of attendees already prepared in advance. Regarding this, the answer will vary depending on when you inquire, so please contact us directly.

※The dinner is an additional benefit of the subscription service (a gift from ITALIAKARA). This benefit is only for those who can come to the date and location specified by ITALIAKARA for the dinner.

※Please understand in advance that no refunds will be issued if you are unable to attend. The subscription plan is a great value even if you cannot attend, as we deliver over 600,000 yen worth of wine alone.
