Mutsu City has a cool climate and is covered with snow from mid-December through late March. The climate on Shimokita Peninsula closely resembles that of the wine producing region of Burgundy in France, and is therefore said to be well-suited to the cultivation of grapes for wine making. Shimokita Wine is produced in the northernmost winery on Japan’s main island of Honshu.
