Summer = Cider!
Summer is well and truly here and I hope you are not all suffering in the heat like I am!
In this heat I think there is nothing better than an ice cold bottle of cider! And I don't mean the "cider" here in Japan that is just a fizzy drink, I mean the apple alcohol drink. I always think that beer is too heavy to drink in hot weather so cider is a great alternative, and is especially good with lots of ice in a cold glass!
Here at Sakura we have 2 types of cider. The first is Strongbow, the most popular cider in the UK. It is not a sweet cider, it can taste quite bitter but is really refreshing and at 600yen it is really a bargain!
The second type is Magners, an Irish cider (although exactly the same cider is also made in England and called Bulmers!). It is sweeter than Strongbow and is great with ice, I recommend it for first time cider drinkers! It is only 700yen so perfect to share with a friend.
Chopper seems to agree, lets hope he hasn't drunk too much already!
Please come and try our summer cider!
