Apples

Fuji apples and “watercore”

It takes nearly 200 days to produce a Fuji apple from flower to fruit, and producing the “watercore”, which has now become a symbol of deliciousness, requires that they fully ripen on the tree. Fukushima has the perfect conditions for fully ripening Fuji apples, a staple variety in the prefecture, thanks to the late fall and early winter harvest months being not too warm or too cold. Fully-ripened Fuji apples that have developed watercore have a distinctive sweetness and delightful texture, making them incredibly tasty.

Maboroshi-no-Fuji

Fully ripened Fuji from Fukushima was once referred to as “Maboroshi no Fuji” or Phantom Fuji because its deliciousness led to a high volume of direct sales in the region, resulting in it not being widely available in the market.

Product Highlights

August to early September)

Refreshingly fragrant, sweet Tsugaru apples arrive on shelves just as summer slides into fall.

Yoko apples are a sweet cultivar with wonderful colouring. They have a good shelf life, and can be stored up to 20 days at room temperature.
