Mashike Fruit Winery

Discover Naturally Fermented Cider Made from Mashike Apples

Enjoy the refreshing taste of 100% natural sparkling cider handcrafted from ripe apples in Japan’s northernmost fruit-growing town.

Nestled between the Sea of Japan and the snow-capped Mt. Shokanbetsu, Mashike Town is one of Hokkaido’s premier fruit-growing regions. At Mashike Fruit Winery, the bounty of this coastal landscape is captured in every bottle. The signature “Mashike Cider” is made by crushing carefully selected apples with their skins intact and slowly fermenting them using natural yeast, with no added sugar, flavorings, or artificial ingredients.

When poured, the cider releases a gentle aroma of ripe apples and fine natural bubbles. From crisp dry styles to sweeter expressions of the fruit’s natural flavor, there is a bottle to suit every taste. Seasonally, you may also find “Mashike Poire,” a sparkling wine made entirely from locally grown Bartlett pears.

At the winery’s cozy retail corner, visitors can enjoy freshly made cider while overlooking peaceful orchards. With original goods available, it’s the perfect place to pause, relax, and experience the authentic taste of northern Hokkaido.
