Let's take a deeper dive into the charms of various regions in Hokkaido, as featured in the currently airing anime, "Dropkick on My Devil! X Mame Anime (Hokkaido Arc)"! Let's check out the eighth episode right away.

In the anime, they were enjoying a delicious glass of Pinot Noir. Today, Furano is becoming famous as a wine-producing region.

The city of Furano has made a concerted effort to cultivate wine grapes. The reasons for this were that Furano's climate is similar to that of Europe, the home of wine, and the Furano Basin had land conditions suitable for grape cultivation.

Of course, climate and land conditions alone are not enough to grow good ingredients. The power of people is indispensable, including selecting grape varieties, improving them, and developing cultivation techniques.

Furthermore, improvements in brewing technology and quality control lead to the creation of high-quality wine.

Thus, Furano wine received high praise from its inception, and its reputation spread, leading to nationwide popularity.

Some wineries offer tours and tastings. It seems that some wine connoisseurs travel to Furano specifically to tour the wineries.

When you visit Furano, be sure to check out the wine! And find that special bottle that's just right for you.
