Aomori's Exquisite Lovevados Plum Wine
Aomori is renowned for its rich agricultural heritage, and now, in the heart of this beautiful region, the Mohodori Distillery has launched a remarkable product: the Lovevados Plum Wine. Produced by the Mohodori Distillery, which is part of Sun Apple Brewing Japan led by Shinichi Kimura, this unique beverage is now available for purchase on the popular online shopping platform, Rakuten's T-BOX.
The name "Mohodori" originates from a Tsugaru dialect term meaning "owl." This name reflects the distillery's mission to protect and support Aomori's apple industry, much like owls are known to control pests. Consequently, Mohodori Distillery transforms imperfect apples into delicious apple brandies that highlight the region's agricultural output. The Lovevados Plum Wine is a testament to this philosophy, as it is made by steeping perfectly ripe Japanese plums from Nanbu Town in Aomori's apple brandy, creating a truly local product.
The Lovevados Plum Wine has garnered notable recognition, including a gold medal in the Japanese Liqueur category at the 20th Feminalise World Wine Competition 2026, a prestigious international event. This award provides testament to the wine's high quality and delicious flavor profile. With the refreshing tartness of the plums harmoniously blending with the rich apple aroma, Lovevados can be enjoyed in various ways: straight, on the rocks, or even mixed with soda for a refreshing cocktail.
Whether you're looking for the perfect drink to enjoy during a quiet evening at home or a splendid gift for a loved one, Lovevados Plum Wine is an excellent choice.
TONICHI, the parent company of Mohodori Distillery, has partnered with Nanbu Town in a regional revitalization effort. This collaboration aims to promote local products and expand sales channels, ensuring that high-quality Aomori goods reach customers across the nation. The introduction of Lovevados Plum Wine (500ml for 5,980 yen including tax and shipping) is a key part of this initiative to deliver attractive regional products to customers nationwide.
