Apples
Aomori apples are number one in Japan in terms of total production volume and area under cultivation, a position and status that has remained unchanged for more than 100 years.
Not only is Aomori a major production region, the apples grown here are also of world-class quality, with many people from overseas praising Aomori applies as the most delicious in the world!
Scallops
Aomori is one of Japan's top production regions for Scallops, which are cultivated in Mutsu Bay, surrounded by two peninsulas.
Mineral-rich water from the surrounding mountains flows into the bay,
which is rich in phytoplankton that Scallops feed on. Their soft sweetness is enjoyed by all who taste them. While of course delicious as sashimi, they are equally tasty in various other dishes, either boiled, grilled or fried, and are adored in countries around the world.
Rice
The richly fertile earth of Aomori, situated on the northern tip of Honshu island, is ideally suited for cultivating delicious rice. Long hours of sunlight make the rice strong and abundant clean water gives the rice its delicious taste. Cool summers and few pests also mean that less pesticide spraying is required.
Aomori rice is a product raised with the blessings of nature and the loving care and attention of rice farmers. It is a second-to-none product born from the blessings of Mother Nature in this northern land.
