Well that's true. There are some varieties which actually require a kind of mold bloom ( I forget the exact name, but it's known as the "noble rot") on them to make the kind of wine they're used for. There must be some amongst the hundreds and hundreds of varieties that grow well enough, or they wouldn't have a native wine industry at all.
Oh, and I found a list of vintners:
Vineyards Japan, Wineries Japan - Japanese wines, wine cellars, winemakers, wine producers, wine exporters Japan
