Cider - sai-daa (English spelling)

Japanese: サイダー - さいだー(英語表記)cider
Cider - sai-daa (English spelling)

A soft drink unique to Japan, it is a colorless carbonated drink flavored with sweeteners and citric acid and flavored with added flavorings. During the Meiji period, a carbonated drink called "champagne cider" that used artificial flavorings was sold and was well received, so it became the common name for similar products. The English word "cider" refers to apple juice or apple wine, and is different from Japanese cider. It is not much different from ramune, but ramune is a name that comes from lemonade, and cider can be considered a type of lemonade. Cider is said to have been first produced around 1887 (Meiji 20) by Akimoto Minosuke of Yokohama, who began selling it under the name Kinsen Cider while making ramune.

Japanese:

日本独特の清涼飲料で、香料を加え甘味料とクエン酸で味つけした無色の炭酸飲料をいう。明治時代に「シャンペン・サイダー」という人工香料を用いた炭酸飲料を売り出したのが好評を得たため、同類品の通称となった。英語のcider(サイダー)はりんご果汁やりんご酒のことで、日本のサイダーとは別物である。ラムネと大差ないが、ラムネはレモネードからきた名前で、サイダーもレモネードの一種と考えてよい。サイダーの製造は、1887年(明治20)ごろ横浜の秋元巳之助(みのすけ)が、ラムネ製造のかたわら金線サイダーの名で売り出したのが最初とされる。
