Warming temperatures have helped make the small Hokkaido town of Yoichi the toast of pinot noir connoisseurs, but now climate change could mean that it will become difficult to grow the grapes there. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/15/japan/hokkaido-grape-farms-affected-by-climate-change/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #wine #hokkaido #yoichi #climatechange

#Otome fans of mastodon, hear my plea.

My wife is a big fan of #WintersWish, and specifically the character #Yoichi.

That character, as I understand it, used to be a hair comb (who among us can't say the same), and I would love to get her that same comb for Christmas, or failing that, a Yoichi charm or something.

I've searched on Etsy for anything Yoichi-related, with no luck. Anyone know of a place, link, search term, etc that would yield results?

Ten years ago I bought #Nikka #Yoichi at #Systembolaget. I thought it was really wonderful, great and superb especially considering the price. Today the price has increased 200%
