drink a cider with a prayer
Slightly carbonated to bring a pleasant cool feeling in the lingering summer heat.
Not honey lemon, but honey kigashira yuzu. Not lemon, not tangerine, not sudachi. It has the aroma of Yuzu Kigashira. The gentle sweetness of honey and the subtle flavor of yuzu. It soothes both the sense of taste and smell at the same time.
Perhaps it is the effect of the honey and the yuzu, but I feel my throat has been moistened. (Personal opinion).
The mouthfeel is clean and the aftertaste is refreshing. The sweetness does not cling to the palate. Delicious.
Oh, it's so good. I would have been happy to drink it in the summer heat.
Also, I described it as slightly carbonated at first, but maybe I just feel that way because I have been drinking a lot of very strongly carbonated water in the past few years. (Because even Coca-Cola is starting to feel slightly carbonated.)
It is available online and costs about 300 yen per bottle.
Incidentally, if you search for it on the Internet, you will find that it is introduced as "tastes like lemonade," which is a bit of a stretch, but it is a very good idea. But it is a very good description, or perhaps the easiest way to explain it to someone who has never had it before. I'm quoting honey lemonade myself, lol!
Thanks for the drink!
Now, let's have at least one more bottle.
I might want something a little sour, so I decided on this one!
Kamikatsu Ume Cider
Whether it's the Kito Yuzu Cider or this Ume Cider, sour fruits and carbonated beverages go well together, don't they? The synergistic effect of the two together refreshes the drinker.
In fact, carbonated beverages with ume as the core ingredient have been around for a long time, and I have loved them since I was a child. Especially after an hour-long swim at the swimming school, I used to drink a plum juice called "Ume Squash" every time I went swimming. It came in a green, slightly chubby, Dekavita C-style bottle.
This cider is said to be made from Kamikatsu-grown plums and Hokkaido's epi-sugar. I heard that it contains naturally occurring oligosaccharides. It is also said to be less likely to raise blood sugar levels.
In other words, the cider is made with a special attention to the sweetening process.
So, while the earlier Yuzu Yuzu Cider was sweetened with controlled honey, this Ume Cider is sweetened with sugar from the sugarcane plant. I'm looking forward to it.
drink a glass of plum cider
I was expecting to smell the aroma of plums when I opened the bottle, but I didn't smell anything.
But the golden cider poured into the cup is beautiful and even divine. Above all, I got the impression of a very strong sparkling sensation. It's like a shwash, shwash, shwash. When I looked into the cup, the little bubbles that burst hit me directly in the eyes. Cider full of energy.
I took a sip. It's not too sweet, but rather sweet and sour. It has a refreshing citric flavor. If you have this in your throat after club activities in the hot season, you will recover at once, I'm sure.
It's not like a ripe, mellow plum, but more like a young, fresh plum.
By the way, after taking the video, I drank some more and felt the sourness increased.
No, it's delicious. I feel a little more energetic. Thank you very much.
That's all for this time. See you soon.
