Whether it's Japan, Taiwan, or countries across the globe, the Vtuber craze has truly taken over in recent years. Following their previous collaboration with Hololive's 5th generation talent Yukihana Lamy on an alcoholic beverage, Japanese company Meiri Shurui has just announced a new plum wine partnership with none other than Usada Pekora! Dubbed "Hyakunen Umeshu Pekora Can," this special edition will drop on their official online store on May 29th at 5 PM JST.
This plum wine was crafted with the concept of "plum wine can be enjoyed more freely" in mind. To make it super easy for fans to sip while watching streams, it's been designed with a low alcohol content of just 3%.
According to the official announcement, two different flavor samples were prepared during the development phase. Ultimately, Pekora herself personally selected the honey ginger flavor. The overall taste is light and refreshing, with a touch of ginger spice complementing the sweetness – perfect for a leisurely drink during a livestream.
The packaging illustration for this collaboration was once again handled by the renowned artist Ume Aoki (@umeaoki). Aoki-sensei has previously contributed to other collaboration merchandise and is famously known for the original character designs in "Puella Magi Madoka Magica."
This time, focusing on the theme of "the freedom and refreshing feel of plum wine," Aoki-sensei has drawn a brand-new, absolutely adorable illustration of Pekora in casual clothes.
The "Hyakunen Umeshu Pekora Can" will be sold as an 8-can set for 5,500 JPY. So, all you "Pekorabots" out there, get ready to find your way to snag a set!
