Enjoy “Nikka Hirosaki Nama Cidre” Again This Year
“Nikka Hirosaki Nama Cidre” is an apple sparkling wine that has been produced since 1960, when the Nikka Whisky Hirosaki Plant was established.
Made with 100% domestically grown apples, it is a popular product that captures the fresh juiciness of apples by fermenting juice pressed from whole fresh apples without applying heat.
In September this year, the brand name and packaging were renewed to emphasize that the cider is brewed at a plant in nature-rich Hirosaki and that it is a “nama cider” made without heat during the production process.
If you have never tried it, this is a good opportunity to check it out.
