An introduction to the variety of “Jinpachi” apple

Sun Tsugaru

The Sun Tsugaru is an early-ripening variety of apples. Its flesh is slightly firm and contains a lot of juice, not too sour but with a good balance of sweetness and crunchiness. 

Among the early-ripening varieties, it is the most popular apple in terms of production volume.

Kougyoku

If there’s one apple that’s good for cooking and making sweets, it’s the Kougyoku apple! 

It has a strong sour taste and a firm texture. For people who like sour apples, we recommend eating them raw to taste their natural flavor.

Fuji(Yuutai Fuji)

These apples are grown in bags. Although they are less sweet than the sun fuji apple, they are still juicy and have a good balance of sweetness and sourness.

Growing them in a bag also improves storage, so they can be eaten in the spring or summer after the next year’s harvest!

The “Jinpachi” apple’s sub-brand “Mitsuka”.

When you cut it, it should be filled with clear and shiny honey.

And the sugar content is high, which is a requirement for “Mitsuka”.

So how do we make apples sweeter?

First, we let our apples bask in the blessings of the sun.
Secondly, we grow them in an environment with extreme temperature differences.
Finally, we wait until the last minute to harvest.

It is said that if you wait until the temperature drops to harvest, you will get more honey. However, in late autumn in Aomori Prefecture, there are days when snows and frosts occur. If an apple freezes, it cannot be used as a product.

It is the craftsman’s skill is to find the perfect moment.

It is a perfect product for home use or as a gift.

The “Jinpachi” apple’s sub-brand “Ayaka”.

“Ayaka” is an apple that grew up in Aomori Prefecture but benefited from the distant Yonaguni Island in Okinawa Prefecture.

In order to produce delicious apples, it is essential to have nutrient-rich soil. For this purpose, chemical fertilizers are generally used.

When growing “Ayaka apples”, natural fossilized coral is mixed into the soil.

It is 100% natural, safe for both people and the environment, and rich in minerals, so the microorganisms in the soil will grow quickly.

We want to provide you with delicious apples for a long time. We hope you will enjoy the “Ayaka” apples that are born from this desire.
