Aomori Cidre sparkling (Aomori, Japan) On the front label: “Home-made French-stylished Cidre. Brewed by the high quality apples in Aomori region, Japan. It would be perfect with any parties or special occasions.” 1) Sweet, 3% ABV My Notes: My Rating: C+ Why I enjoy it: very soft delicate apple flavour Where I got it: Tokyo, Jan 2012 How much: ~￥500 ($7), 200ml Do I love this enough to drink it again: No Would I recommend this to cider afficianados: No Tasting Notes: pours cloudy white peach flesh colour, minimal ringed retention, micro CO2. Mild unfiltered apple juice on the nose. Creamy like cream soda, 5/10 sweetness, very mild and delicate apple flavour, more on the woody unfiltered juice side, finishes slightly salty (!). Don’t particularly like the flavour profile, but not disappointed. 2) Standard, 5% ABV My Notes: My Rating: B+ Why I love it: Amazing texture and clean flavour Where I got it: Tokyo, Jan 2012 How much: ~￥500 ($7), 200ml Do I love this enough to drink it again: Yes Would I recommend this to cider afficianados: Yes Tasting Notes: pours light yellow, minimal head, minimal retention, fine CO2, multiple varied-speed CO2 streams. Minor clean and light Fuji apples on the nose. starts off with an ultra-velvety mouthfeel, light-medium body, 4/10 sweetness, bright, clean, and crisp apple in the mid, slight 2/10 tart smooth finish. Superb transitions. 3) Dry, 7% ABV My Notes: My Rating: B- Why I like it: clean and pure Where I got it: Tokyo, Jan 2012 How much: ~￥500 ($7), 200ml Do I love this enough to drink it again: No Would I recommend this to cider afficianados: No Tasting Notes: pours very light yellow, no head, minor ringed retention, slow moving CO2 streams around the perimeter. Peaches and apricots on the nose. Apple/peach fruitiness up front, soft CO2 in the mids, then cuts sharply dry. Not a big fan of dry wines or ciders but this one is decent due to the fruitiness at the start.
