The hot days continue all over the country, and it's finally summer. I've come to see watermelon flavored sweets and ice cream in stores, but I've found a drink at KALDI Coffee Farm that people who like watermelon should definitely drink, so I would like to introduce it.
"Watermelon Cider" sold by Yamagata Foods is a carbonated drink using Yamagata's Obanazawa watermelon juice. 30% of the mixed juice of Obanazawa watermelon and guava, which boasts the largest production of "summer watermelon" in Japan, is used.
The bright red cider has a fresh sweetness that makes you feel like you're biting into a watermelon. Along with the popping bubbles, you can feel a slight green odor, and you can enjoy a drink that you can't think of as 30% fruit juice.
As it is a watermelon, adding a pinch of salt will bring out the flavor. Please try it to your liking.
The price at the time of purchase is 145 yen (tax included) with 200 ml. People who want to eat watermelon but get their hands dirty and have trouble processing the skin can easily enjoy the taste of summer!
