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.

I like my apple slices with a bit of peanut butter. The kangaroo thinks it’s weird and only Americans eat this way. But it’s so so so good. Try it.
