   Akadama Plum Wine - Suntory Limited, Japan

I'm looking for a source for this wine - one that will ship a case to me.

I can't seem to find it anywhere.  I am appealing to the knowledge of the Group Mind.

I never drink . . . wine. (You knew somebody was gonna say it!)

And... I knew it wouldn't be helpful.


I never drink ANY alcoholic beverages. No political/social statement.  I just HATE the taste.  Don't even like wine/beer in recipes.  Yecch!

Seeking this for a friend that has an occasional glass and never can find it in stores.

I assumed you had already scoured the internet, which is all I could do.

I know the shooing of alcohol can vary state to state (or even county to county), but here's the first thing I got when I searched for it using google:

Akadama Plum Royale (https://www.meadsliquors.com/product/s-11999/p-21310188/buy-akadama-plum-royale)

Perhaps try adding a case quantity to the cart, or give them a call?

THANKS!  (Her birthday is coming up soon and she is HARD to buy for.)

            "shooing"?

"We do not deliver to this address."

I guess they only send out a truck locally.

Was meant to be "shipping"... which you've unfortunately found out.

They are a place that sends things out on their truck.

No shooing to California.

Would still like to find someone who will ship this to California.

There must be someone, somewhere - even if it is a special order that they charge extra for.

You might try this place:
59 food and liquor—google it.
It's in Illinois and website says they have 1-2 in stock.
You should probably confirm it's same item.
And not sure if ship??
Technically, you can't mail booze unless you are a seller.

I'm surprised you can't find in California.  I used to live there, worked as Thrifty manager-shoutout to Thrifty Ice Cream!!-and there's areas with concentrated Asian communities.

They only offer pickup or delivery with their truck.

Frustrating.

I love Thrifty ice cream!

Sadly, Thrifty has gone belly up.  But someone has bought their ice cream and plan to continue producing it - maybe even making it available in supermarkets.
