At “A-FACTORY” (1 Yanagawa, Aomori City, TEL 017-774-0077 ) on September 17, a new cider “A-FACTORY AOMORI CIDRE (Aomori Cider) Hirosaki Yoshinocho 17 (Medium)” has started selling.

A-factory is a complex facility operated by JR East Aomori Commercial Development. In addition to food marche and restaurants that sell Aomori's specialty products, there is also a workshop that brews "Cider", a liquor made from apples. We have been making “AOMORI CIDRE” using “Fuji” and “Jonagold” as our flagship products for 10 years. In 2020, the company established “A-FACTORY Hirosaki Yoshinocho Cider Studio” in Yoshinocho, Hirosaki City, which is said to be the “birthplace of Japanese cider”. Taking advantage of the techniques cultivated over many years, they create new products every two to three months based on the concept of "making cider using various apple varieties."

This time, the 17th cider that was born at Yoshinocho Kobo is made from “Hirosaki Fuji”, which is characterized by its sweetness. By devising a brewing method, they succeeded in making a cider that has both "sweetness" and "spiciness." Takao Kato of the company's sales department said with a smile, "This is the first cider that has a sweet aftertaste with a spicy aftertaste." "'Hirosaki Yoshinocho 17' is characterized by the fine carbonation that is naturally produced during the fermentation process. We want you to enjoy the soft, crispy texture."

The content is 520ml and the price is 1,980 yen. In addition to the same facility, Hirosaki Station "BRICK A-FACTORY" (Omotemachi 1) and Hirosaki Brick Warehouse Museum Museum shop "HIROSAKI MOCA" (Yoshinocho 2) are also available.
