Hoshino Resort Oirase Keiryu Hotel will launch a new “Keiryu Yukimi Cider Bar” on February 1, 2023, where guests can taste three types of hot ciders carefully selected from breweries in Aomori Prefecture.
This program is held in a space where the Oirase mountain stream flows in front of you and a silver world spreads out before your eyes. The sight of the mountain stream splashing through the pale blue snowy landscape is a beauty that can only be seen in winter.
The snow absorbs the sound of the river, making it quieter and less audible in winter than in other seasons. With the murmuring of the river and the calls of wild birds echoing in the background, visitors can relax and enjoy the fantastic scenery that only winter can offer.
The Keiryu Yukimi Cidre Bar serves three types of hot ciders. Ciders with different flavors are carefully selected from breweries in Aomori Prefecture. Three types of hot ciders are available: hot ciders with the sweet and sour taste of apples, hot ciders with cinnamon and other spices, and hot ciders with the soft sweetness of apples. Visitors can enjoy hot ciders and have a soothing moment in front of the snowy Oirase mountain stream.
