Yukon Territory/Whitehorse

Haskap grew up in Whitehorse, located in the aurora belt, bathed in the mysterious light of the aurora borealis.

Whitehorse is located in northern Canada, right under the "Aurora Belt" where the Northern Lights often appear. Since grapes normally used for wine cannot be grown in Whitehorse, haskap is used as an ingredient in wine and has continued to be loved by locals.

Whitehorse, where haskap is cultivated, is known as the "midnight sun," where the sun continues to rise throughout the day, allowing the area to receive a lot of nutrients from the sun.
At night, the aurora appears in the night sky, and the trees grow bathed in the mysterious light of the aurora.
