While being one of Japan's leading apple producers, Aomori is also alive with handiwork born from the snow country lifestyle, such as Tsugaru-nuri lacquerware, Kogin-zashi embroidery, and glass crafts. For those looking for a Made in Japan-first choice, this is an area where you can find food to enjoy the ingredients themselves, alongside tableware and fabrics that last a long time, all from the same land. On this page, we introduce the craftsmanship of farms, workshops, manufacturers, and shops backed by materials and techniques characteristic of Aomori.
We will feature processed products where Aomori apples and fruits take center stage, such as apple juice, cider, jams, dried fruits, and baked treats. We will introduce products where you can see "where and by whom" they are made, with attention to origin labels and consideration for food additives.
Tsugaru-nuri, which involves repeatedly applying and polishing layers of lacquer, offers not only vibrant patterns but also durability and the joy of using it for a long time. We introduce bowls, trays, chopsticks, and small accessory trays that can easily be incorporated into your daily lifestyle, along with the background of the workshops and brands.
We will also feature Aomori handiwork born from life in a severely cold region, such as Kogin-zashi pouches and bags, and Tsugaru Vidro glasses and vases. We aim to create encounters with fabrics and tableware that grow on you more the longer you use them.
