Hirosaki has the most delicious Aomori apples. We began importing apples from Hirosaki 12 years ago, selling about 3,000. Today we’ve sold some 200,000. From this we can see that Taiwanese consumers love Hirosaki apples. Besides fruit sales, we have also shared many industrial and cultural exchanges. Not only are people fond of Hirosaki apples, the friendship between our two cities is becoming stronger and stronger.

Also at the Tainan ceremony was Hirosaki Mayor Sakurada Hiroshi. The carnival sells six varieties of Aomori apples and apple products, as well as dried goods and curries from Hakodate.
