Okinaya Usu-kurenai

Usu-kurenai is a signature confection from Okinaya, an established shop founded in 1918 (Taisho 7). It was born from the desire to turn 'ni-ringo' (simmered apples), a long-beloved home dish in Aomori, into a souvenir. This apple glacé is made by slicing Aomori-grown Kougyoku apples into 6–7cm rings, slowly simmering them in sugar syrup, and drying them for over 24 hours. It is an incredibly luxurious item, as only about 2 to 3 slices can be taken from a single apple. With its beautiful, translucent pale pink color, the concentrated sweet and sour flavor of the apple expands with every bite. This is a high-quality apple confection representing Aomori, having won the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare Award at the National Confectionery Expo.
