A new local product to try!

I've mentioned before here on City-Cost that my area of Niigata is well known for growing watermelons, and I saw a new product this week at my local farmer's market that I'm eager to try.

Watermelon cider!

I think it's a perfect item to stock the shelves with during the summer season. I'm a big fan of supporting locally made/grown wherever possible, and this looks like a deliciously refreshing way to do so!
