Ingredients

01 HIGH QUALITY APPLES from
Aomori Prefecture

The finest apples
from Aomori Prefecture.

High quality apples are essential for making outstanding apple brandy.
Only the very best apples from Aomori Prefecture, including those grown in Hirakawa, are used for CRAZY DAYS. Using just the flesh of these juicy, aromatic apples is the key to the luxurious taste. In this way, the delicious natural bounty of Aomori is fully utilized to create apple brandy of the highest quality.

The key to the quality
is the difference in the soil.

So why do these superb apples grow here in Hirakawa? Well, Hirakawa is located at a high altitude in Aomori Prefecture where there are large fluctuations in temperature. It also rains less here, there’s more sunlight, and the sloping terrain assures good drainage. What’s more, soil quality is particularly good. The fertile, nutrient-rich sedimentary soil in the apple fields was deposited during the eruption of Mount Hakkoda. That’s what makes the apples so delicious.

02 NATURAL WATER from
“The Shirakami Sanchi”

Natural water
from the Shirakami-Sanchi.

We’d been searching for and finally found just what we needed to create CRAZY DAYS — water from the Shirakami-Sanchi. The mountains are covered with beech forests, which retain so much water they act like a natural dam. Rain that falls in these primeval forests, which are believed to date back to the Jomon period, percolates underground for a mind-boggling period of time. As this occurs, impurities are removed by a filtration process in the forest soil before the purified water comes back to the surface.

Amazingly soft water
with a hardness of 0.2mg/l.

Crystal-clear water from the Shirakami-Sanchi. This life-giving water was the “super soft water” we had been looking for to make our elegantly refreshing apple brandy. According to global standards, water with a hardness of 60mg/l or less is considered soft water, but this water has an incredible softness of just 0.2mg/l. It’s extremely pleasant on the palate and has no peculiarities. This encounter with such “ultra-soft water” marked the birth of CRAZY DAYS, an apple brandy of supreme quality.

Passion
for Quality

− Passion for Quality

Passion for Quality 01

It all starts with high quality hard cider.

Apple brandy is produced by distilling hard cider, which is made by fermenting apple juice. When a German specialist visited our factory to teach us how to make apple brandy, the first thing he did was taste our hard cider. After a sip or two, his expression brightened and he said, “GOOD!” He then told us that 70% of the art of perfecting a brandy is determined by using good quality hard cider.

Passion for Quality 02

The “Aomori Governor’s Award”.

Aiming to create the best hard cider possible, we launched the CRAZY CIDER brand and have been pursuing quality through repeated trial and error. Our efforts finally bore fruit in 2022 when CRAZY CIDER DRY was given the Aomori Governor’s Award, the highest prize in the Aomori Prefecture Specialty Products Competition. The result of our passion for producing quality hard ciders, it gave us the confidence to create the ultimate apple brandy.

Passion for Quality 03

Dedicated to creating the best aroma.

We are committed to extracting the best possible aroma from our hard cider. Alcohol begins to evaporate at a temperature of 78℃. However, when creating a concentrated apple brandy, it initially has a strong ethanol smell and can’t be sold as a product. The most important point is to find just the right moment when the ethanol smell begins to be replaced by a gorgeous apple brandy aroma.

Passion for Quality 04

The work of man and the Gods.

While producing CRAZY CIDER, we learned that the most important factor in making a quality hard cider is the fermentation temperature of each kind of yeast. The best apple brandy is something quite divine, something we alone cannot achieve by simply distilling the best hard cider. Created by man and the Gods, CRAZY DAYS is a true miracle.

We wanted to bring out the unique character of Aomori apples. With that in mind, we distilled the apples twice, just like Scotch whisky, to create a base spirit that would not be overpowered by the fragrance of new French oak barrels. To harmonize the acidity and sweetness, we aged several varieties of apples individually and then blended the matured spirits with unaged white brandy, making it a perfect complement to meals. Enjoy the elegant aroma and smooth flavor to your heart's content.

Challenge Dreams
with Canis lupus hodophilax

The symbol of strength and wisdom.

You can see a Japanese wolf, considered to be a mysterious animal, on the CRAZY DAYS label. Unlike many other animals, the Japanese wolf didn’t form large packs, but instead would travel in groups of two to three or up to 10 animals. To survive in the harsh natural world, the Japanese wolf valued teamwork with its friends, and was said to be both strong and wise. Strength, intelligence, and love of friends. Their way of life reflects how we face the world while meeting new challenges and striving for dreams with those who share our aspirations.
