This product uses apples that were damaged by the hail that fell in the Takasugi area of Hirosaki City in June this year.

Treecko is run by "Hyakkado Honpo", which is made up of apple farmers in Hirosaki. Mr. Tetsushi Takahashi, the president, said, "If an apple is scratched, it will be traded at a low price in the market and it will be difficult to distribute it. I hope that the same apple farmer can support the same trader as much as possible." ..

This product uses 100% of the early-maturing variety "Tsugaru" that has been damaged by hail. Alcohol content is 6%. According to Mr. Takahashi, the taste is not only dry and dry, but also the umami of apples, which makes it easy to match with dishes.

Mr. Takahashi said, "Although it was not widely covered in the press, farmers were troubled by various weather conditions this year as well. Apples that were damaged by the toast are rare products depending on how they are caught. I hope you enjoy it as a cider that you can toast with people. "
