In the realm of Japanese beverages, innovation and tradition often intertwine to create something truly extraordinary. Enter the Noto Salt Cider, a unique drink that embodies the essence of Japanese craftsmanship and ingenuity.
Hailing from the coastal town of Suzu in Ishikawa Prefecture, this cider is not your average fizzy drink. What sets it apart? The answer lies in its secret ingredient: sea salt harvested using a 400-year-old method called agehama.
The agehama technique is a testament to Japan’s rich cultural heritage. Locals spread seawater on sand using handbuckets, then boil the mixture to extract salt crystals. This painstaking process results in a salt that’s uniquely flavorful and deeply connected to the region’s history.
But how does salt enhance a cider? It’s all about umami, the fifth taste that’s so integral to Japanese cuisine. The salt in Noto Salt Cider brings out subtle flavor notes, creating a harmonious balance with the drink’s sweetness. It’s a prime example of the Japanese design philosophy of finding beauty in simplicity and functionality.
The cider comes in a set of six 340 ml bottles, perfect for sharing with friends during a hanami picnic or as omiyage (souvenir) from your travels. Each sip is a journey through Japan’s culinary landscape, offering a new perspective on familiar flavors.
Cocktail enthusiasts will find the Noto Salt Cider to be a game-changer. Mix it with whisky instead of regular soda, and you’ll unlock a world of complex flavors that would make any izakaya proud. It’s a shortcut to recreating the sophisticated drinks served in Kanazawa’s trendiest bars.
What truly sets this product apart is its attention to detail, a hallmark of Japanese design. From the carefully curated ingredients to the elegant gift box packaging, every aspect of the Noto Salt Cider has been considered with the consumer in mind.
