Miyazaki Prefecture gets rather hot and sticky as early as late April, and as such one might be mistaken that wine cannot be produced in such a difficult climate. The Tsuno Winery stands as proof that the opposite is true, and features some of the best wine in the entire Kyushu Region. 

 The winery is owned by the town of Tsuno, and it stands overlooking the sea. The winery is located in near proximity to the coast, and so it is easily accessible compared to some of the other scenic spots in Miyazaki that are more often than not located in the mountains.

A comment from the store:

The town of Tachibana produces the most kiwi fruit in Japan. In 2001 (Heisei 13), the town of Tachibana, JA, and kiwi fruit producers made this investment and built the kiwi wine brewery. Presently, our company also produces various types of wines using the abundant and delicious fruit juice from the Yame area. Some of these include, Haka Amao Strawberries, Ume Mikan, figs, peaches and grapes. We use the lastest in brewing technology, this includes 9 brewing tanks. To help in the reviltaliztion of some areas, we currently sell wines made from other areas as well. Why not try tomato wine made from tomatos produced in Takashima, Nagasaki Prefecture, or fig wine made from Yukuhashi City? Last, but not least, is the Japanese pear wine made from pears in Akaike Town, Tagawa-gun!
