Behold, the samurai's apple. The apple capital of Japan, Aomori, goes back to the Meiji Restoration of 1866 when the Emperor abolished the samurai class, who in turn devoted themselves to agriculture. The people who now dedicate their lives to this fruit have a rigorous process of growing the best of the best. Practically an art form, these fresh apples can be yours. Bite into one and see for yourself.
