Every town has its specialty, and Sanchez Mira is no different.
A small town in the province of Cagayan, located in the northern part of the Philippines, Sanchez Mira will welcome you to beautiful sites as well as with foods and drinks that will excite your taste buds and make you feel a bit heady—well, the town got all sorts of wine—in a good way. It may not be your regular go-to place, but this town is worth a visit.
Below are the top 3 food and drinks that you definitely should try in the beautiful town of Sanchez Mira.
3. Bugnay Wine
The Bugnay wine tastes really good. It looks like a typical red grape wine, but the taste is definitely something different. Made from the Bugnay fruit, little red circular fruits that turn a deep red color when ready for harvesting, this wine has the right amount of sweetness and sourness with just enough alcohol. It also has a berry aroma and flavor that is easy to love.
2. Calamansi Wine
The Calamansi wine, on the other hand, presents a different taste. It seems smoother and tastes lighter than Bugnay. Definitely not a hint of Calamansi, but you can taste a bit of its citrus flavor. Every household in Sanchez Mira has a Calamansi tree, and this wine is one proof of its abundance in the town.
1. Suman sa Latik
This Suman sa Latik, unlike other regular ones from other towns and cities, can actually last for several months. It is sealed in a packet, which can be stored in a cool dry place without getting spoiled. You can also choose to put it in the refrigerator and just reheat it afterward. Coconut milk is one of the main ingredients of this delicacy. Sanchez Mira is a town known for its abundance of coconut trees, which you can normally see on the side of the streets, backyards, and huge parts of lands in the town.
