Spend the Perfect Evening Surrounded by Aomori Apple Trees

"Dine surrounded by illuminated apple trees glowing like Japanese paper lanterns."
While Aomori is famous for its apple production, its most delicious varieties are hyper-local. Grown only in independently-run orchards, these craft apples can only be sold commercially or transported for a short distance. The only way to bite into one is to head north!

This three-hour dining experience starts with picking your dessert. Guests will walk around the orchard to pick apples they'll later have to round out their meal. Then, settle down for a hearty dinner. Eat under the illuminated apples as the autumn sun sets; the ripe fruit will glow, mimicking the ambience of floating lanterns in a Japanese izakaya. The menu includes Ishiura wagyu raised in Goshogawa City with an optional add-on to try domestically raised horse meat from the city's Kanagi district. Fresh local vegetables from nearby farms and hand-harvested apples in the form of ciders and juices complete the meal.

Spend time with loved ones under Aomori's apple trees ― it's all the fun of a summer picnic but with the cozy feelings of fall.
