Threshold Cherenkov counter based on silica aerogels has been widely used in high energy experiments so far. We have developed silica aerogels with low refractive indices of 1.013 and high transparency in new technique. Making use of new aerogels, we have constructed a Cherenkov counter and have checked its perforemace using the test beam. In this report, new production method of silica aerogels and recent result from our beam test will be described.
