A stamp rally of locally produced cider is currently held at a cider offering store in Hirosaki City.

A stamp will be presented when you eat and drink for 1,000 yen or more, including a cider, and if you collect two, 20 people will win a cider and a meal ticket by lottery. Eight target stores are listed in the leaflet "HIROSAKI CIDRE GUIDE".

Hirosaki cider is apple cider that uses 100% apples from Aomori prefecture. Mr. Katsumi Miyakawa of the "Toast with Hirosaki Cider! Secretariat" said, "The apples used to make Hirosaki Cider are grown by the producers one by one. The quality is as good as any other cider. I have no confidence. "

Since cider was mainly sweet, it was often misunderstood that it was “not suitable for cooking” or “female alcohol”. The purpose of the event is to dispel such misunderstandings, says Miyagawa, "I would like you to enjoy cider with various dishes through this stamp rally and propose a new way to enjoy cider."

Mr. Miyagawa tells us about the future, saying "I would be happy if the number of people who toast with cider increased and cider would become a daily routine." "If the demand for cider increases, a new industry for apple production for cider will be created," he said.

The application method is to put the application form in the application box in the target store or mail it to the secretariat. Until December 20th.
