Wine Muroneju

Muroneju is a wine made from apples and plums, a specialty of Murone-cho, Ichinoseki City. Apple wine is fruity and sweet, so it is recommended for people and women who don't like alcohol. In addition, plum wine is a wine that does not have the sweetness of plum wine, but takes advantage of plum's unique acidity, and is recommended for those who like aperitifs and alcoholic beverages.
