Tokyo Nugget #7: The best apples come from Aomori

Who am I...?

An ex-journo and former techno phobe from Singapore living in Tokyo, I worked in print media for six years until I moved countries in 2006 and used the Internet as a way to have a viable, mobile career. Now, I'm a blogger on the go who runs an online beauty biz from wherever I might be. I never thought I would ever morph into a web chick - but here I am.

This blog is about...

...The ups and downs of expat life, trailing partner issues, food, travel, and Japanese culture. It's a way to keep in touch with friends back home and all over the world, plus it's a corner for me to showcase my work. But really, I'm just a restless spirit looking for great adventures and fabulous food.

Tokyo Nugget #7: The best apples come from Aomori

Quite a few of my posts are about food, eh? Well, Japan has a lot to offer in this department.

Sure, there are plenty of perfect-looking fruit to choose from, but one of my faves has to be Aomori apples. They are not as big as the Fuji ones and taste extremely fresh and crunchy.

Aomori is way up north of Honshu and is the gateway to Hokkaido. Produce is so much better from up there because there’s less pollution — so I was told when I did a press junket of Hokkaido many moons ago.
