4-kana answer: さいだー
Meaning
A clear, sweet, fizzy drink in Japanese usage. It is often served cold.
Example sentences
暑い日に、よく冷えたサイダーを飲みました。
Atsui hi ni, yoku hieta sāidā o nomimashita.
I drank a well-chilled soda on a hot day.
サイダーのふたを開けると、泡がぱっと立ちました。
Sāidā no futa o akeru to, awa ga patto tachimashita.
When I opened the soda, bubbles quickly rose.
Note
In Japanese, サイダー usually means a clear fizzy drink. English cider often refers to a drink made from apples, so the two words do not always mean the same thing.
