Aomori City/Cheers with juicy scallops and refreshing cider!

The refreshing feeling is perfect for summer! Enjoy cider in a famous apple producing area

Aomori's world-class specialty is apples. Cider, a sparkling wine made from apples, is a perfect drink for the warm season. It has a refreshing apple scent and a fruity taste. It has become increasingly popular in recent years because it has a lower alcohol content than wine and is easier to drink.

Only apples are used as raw materials. The juice is squeezed from finely crushed apples and yeast is added to ferment it. The sweetness changes depending on the variety and fermentation period, and it is not only enjoyed as an aperitif or dessert wine, but the refreshing medium-dry and dry varieties are also perfect as a drink during meals.

There is a cider factory in Aomori City, where cider is sold as a souvenir. On hot days, chill it in the refrigerator and enjoy the refreshing taste and fruity taste of apples.
