 The apple is the king of all fruits loved by people of all ages because of its refreshing taste balancing sweetness and acidity. Young apple trees were first brought to Aomori by an American missionary, John Inge. Six hundred species of apples have been produced so far and about 15 varieties of apple are now on the market. Aomori Prefecture is famous for having the largest yield and most varieties of apples in Japan.
