A sagardotegi (pronounced (:s̺aɡaɾdoˈteɡi)) is a type of cider house found in the Basque Country where Basque cider and traditional foods such as cod omelettes are served. Modern sagardotegis can broadly be described as a cross between a steakhouse and a cider house. Most Basque cider, like most cider varieties in Spain, is called "natural" because, unlike many other European varieties, it is still, instead of sparkling. It normally contains 4-6% alcohol and is served directly from the barrel in a sagardotegi. ==Etymology== The word ''sagardotegi'' is composed of three elements: ''sagar'' "apple" and ''ardo'' "wine", yielding ''sagardo'' or "cider" and the suffix ''-tegi'' which denotes a building where an activity takes place. The word thus translates as "cider house". In some Northern Basque dialects cider is called ''sagarno'' or ''sagarano''〔Lhande, P. ''Dictionnaire Basque - Français'' Paris: 1926〕 but that only reflects a different development of the Proto-Basque root '' *ardano'' "wine".〔Trask, L. ''The History of Basque'' Routledge: 1997〕 Although the word ''ardo'' today exclusively means "wine", the original meaning seems to have been "fermented drink". This is evidenced by the recorded form ''mahatsarno'' "wine"; ''mahats'' meaning "grape" so literally "fermented drink from grapes".〔Mitxelena, K. ''Orotariko Euskal Hiztegia II Ame-Asd'' Euskaltzaindia: 1989〕 Thus the original meaning of the related ''sagardo'' and ''garagardo'' "beer" must have been "fermented drink from apples" and "fermented drink from barley" (''garagar'' "barley"). Collectively all Basque cider houses are referred to as sagardotegi but since the emergence of more restaurant-style sagardotegi, the traditional type where the grill and eating area are under the same roof as the press have been called ''dolare-sagardotegi/tolare-sagardotegi'' or "press-cider house". In Spanish a sagardotegi is called ''sidrería''; ''cidrerie'' or ''chai à cidre'' in French. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sagardotegi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
