Okuji Apple
You might be surprised to hear about apple picking in the Kanto region. However, Daigo Town is one of the leading apple-producing areas in Kanto. Okuji apples are characterized by 'tree-ripening,' meaning they are harvested only after being allowed to ripen fully on the tree. Apples grown in this land, which experiences significant temperature differences between day and night, are juicy with a rich balance of sweetness and acidity. Cultivation began in 1944, and about forty apple orchards are still scattered throughout the town today. During the harvest season, from September to late November, the area bustles with people enjoying apple picking. The freshness of an apple you pick yourself is exceptional. Please come and enjoy the autumn pleasure of biting into a freshly picked apple in the mountains of Okuji.
