Apple

Japan boasts over 100 types of apples, which are known for being exceptionally round, sweet and shiny. This time, we visit the northern prefecture of Aomori, Japan's top production site, where 60% of the country's apples are produced. There, we discover the high-end, time-intensive cultivation and quality control methods that make Japan's apples so great. Plus, we visit a restaurant where Japanese apples are used in Italian cuisine.
