https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/100793/8/100793-8-e26f9bfb1a512374aba548db0bb87f7b-3900×3121.jpg The symbol is a symbol of strength and wisdom that once lived in the Shirakami Mountains, a World Natural Heritage Site. The Japanese wolf is said to be a mythical animal. This is depicted on the CRAZY DAYS label. Japanese wolves, which once lived in the Shirakami Mountains, a world natural heritage site that Aomori Prefecture is proud of, differ from other animals in that they do not form large packs, instead moving in packs of 2-3 to 10 at most. In order to survive the harsh natural world, they valued teamwork with their friends and were strong and smart. Strength, intelligence, and love for friends. This way of life reflects our will to face the world and challenge new dreams with those who share our aspirations. ■ Special Ingredients ｜ Commitment to raw materials ◎ The highest quality apples from Aomori Prefecture. Of course, to make the best apple brandy, the best apples are essential. CRAZY DAYS only uses apples grown in the natural climate of Hirakawa, Aomori Prefecture, as well as the highest quality apples from Aomori Prefecture in Japan. Luxuriously juicy and fragrant Aomori apples. We create a high-quality apple brandy using all the delicious goodness of Aomori Prefecture’s natural blessings, such as Hirakawa.

In order to create CRAZY DAYS, I kept searching and finally came across it. It was water gushing out from the Shirakami Mountains, a world natural heritage site. The Shirakami Mountains are covered in beech forests that are so rich in water retention that they are called natural dams. The rain that falls in the primeval forest, which is said to have originated during the Jomon period, permeates underground over an unimaginable period of time, and impurities are removed by the forest soil filter, turning it into pure water and returning to the surface of the earth. It comes out.

Clear water from the Shirakami Mountains. This vital water was the “ultra-soft” water we were looking for in order to make a plump and refreshing apple brandy. According to world standards, water with a hardness of 60 mg/l or less is considered soft, but this water is surprisingly soft with a hardness of 0.2 mg/l. The story of the birth of CRAZY DAYS, the highest quality apple brandy, was born out of an encounter with the world’s most valuable ultra-soft water, which has a pleasant taste and no taste.

Aiming to make the best cider, we launched the CRAZY CIDER brand and have pursued quality through repeated trial and error. The efforts finally bore fruit in 2022 when CRAZY CIDER DRY won the Aomori Prefecture Governor’s Award, the highest award in the Aomori Prefecture Specialty Products Contest. This recognition is a result of our passion for high-quality cider. And that confidence leads to creating the best apple brandy.

What we are particular about is extracting high-quality aromas from cider. Alcohol begins to vaporize at its boiling point of 78°C, but even when the concentrated apple brandy begins to be extracted, the first aperitif, called the head, has a strong ethanol aroma and cannot be sold as a product. The most important point is to find the perfect moment to start extracting the brandy, which gives off the aroma of ethanol and the aroma of gorgeous apples.

Through the production of CRAZY CIDER, we have learned that the most important factor in making high-quality cider is the fermentation temperature of each yeast. The best apple brandy is created by distilling and vaporizing the best cider in a divine realm beyond our reach. CRAZY DAYS was perfected because of our experience and track record of making cider. It is a masterpiece created by man and God.

We want to take advantage of the uniqueness of apples grown in Aomori Prefecture. With that in mind, we distilled it twice, just like Scotch whisky, and created an unblended whiskey that rivals the aroma of new French oak barrels. In order to harmonize the sourness and sweetness, we mix several types of aged sake for each type of apple, and blend it with unaged white brandy to create a setting that goes well with meals. Please enjoy this elegant aroma and mellow taste to your heart’s content. ◎ Exquisitely aged in new French oak barrels Aged for one year in new French oak barrels, this is still a young brandy, but by aging it in ultra-soft natural water of 0.2 mg/l from the World Heritage Shirakami Mountains, it has a mellow ripeness that does not feel youthful. . Once you take a sip, your breath will be enveloped by the vanilla scent of French oak. This pleasant scent and refreshing aftertaste. It will surely invite you to a graceful time.

Utilizing his previous experience as a hotelier, he developed and sold various new products such as hot springs & meals, hot springs & banquets, and doubled sales in 5 years. Although the business was growing steadily, various businesses were significantly affected by the spread of the new coronavirus in 2020. For the sake of the future, while searching for an idea that would be less susceptible to the effects of the new coronavirus and unique to Aomori Prefecture, they decided to make apple fruit wine. “CRAZY CIDER” will go on sale in April 2022. “CRAZY CIDER DRY” won the Aomori Prefecture Governor’s Award at the Aomori Prefecture Specialty Products Contest in the same year. In January 2024, we will carry out crowdfunding on CAMPFIRE in order to become a world-recognized “cider maker” and overcome the crisis situation in Aomori Prefecture’s apple industry. We received more than 21 million yen in support, which is 426% of our final goal. In January of the same year, we launched CRAZY DAYS, a premium apple brandy made with water from the World Natural Heritage site Shirakami Mountains and high-quality Aomori apples. We plan to release various editions of Apple Brandy in the future.
