What is your Holy Grail among Japanese frame builders or marques?

Anyone a fan of ALPS bikes? They were mainly configured for cyclotourisme so no race bikes per se although they released some models for road racing too.

Here is more info on them: http://cyclespeugeot.web.fc2.com/reminiscence/alps.htm

I have a quite decent model from them and find the ride very comfortable.

As a fan of Sakae Ringyo components which I find to be nice quality and reasonably priced I would like to try an Sr Gran Course, they are nice looking and I would assume good quality as most things that come from Japan are, I have never seen one for sale in the UK though.

Would look far better with a plain black saddle and bar tape, IMHO.
