Wine Made from Fruit: Higashine Fruit Wine (Yamagata Prefecture)

In recent years, the popularity of wines from Yamagata Prefecture has been soaring!
In response, new wineries are appearing one after another.
This is likely influenced by the region being ideal for growing quality grapes.
On the other hand, Yamagata Prefecture is Japan's top producer of fruits such as cherries and La France pears, making it one of the country's leading fruit kingdoms.
Did you know that there are"wines made from fruit"crafted from Yamagata's abundant produce?
What we are introducing this time is "Higashine Fruit Wine".
They make wine using a wide variety of Yamagata-grown fruits. What do they actually taste like?
We asked the representative, Mr. Abe, to tell us about their appeal.
As you can see, these wines are crafted from various fruits such as La France pears, peaches, and apples.
Why not try a flavor different from your usual wine?
