Tasty Apple Pies | Japanese Local Food Tour in Aomori City & Hirosaki City 

Thank you... I always enjoy watching your videos. They are actually uplifting.

It is peak apple season where I live. Our favorite orchard has twenty varieties awailable, as well a non alcoholic cider, apple dumplings, apple butter, and apple cider smoothies. When you drive by, you can smell the apple butter being made.

Yes, I enjoyed the trip today. Thank you!

It was a very enjoyable video!! Now I have a craving for apple pie...

Apple Pies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I grew up in the Midwest United States. Apple pie absolutely needs a slice of sharp cheddar cheese on it. Try it. It's amazing.

I knew that hotel looked familiar when I booked it! I'm staying two nights in Aomori between time in Hakodate and Akita next year. I must have had this video in my mind when I booked that hotel. Got a great deal too.

I appreciate your healthy appetite👍I always try to get my money's worth when I go to an all you can eat buffer🤤

What a delicious and filling tour this was! Scallop and apple curry - a very local curry variation indeed

Looking forward for more food tour also...

Good tour👍

omg this all looks amazing!!

Hotel room was amazing for the price! You would not find a room like that in the United States for that price.

the apple pie tour and guide were amazing! Ah, i'm so envious

Wow mouth watering...

Love this tour❤

Yes, we were very, very hungry !!! Those apple pies were delicious for sure ! Specially the second one (seams more european) with whipped cream ! Wow !

Egg, scallop and miso looks really good.

Thanks for another great video. I continue to be amazed by the large variety of food in different regions of Japan.

the carbonara looks very creamy and looks delicious... and of course those apple pie 😋 i don't like thick dough but that looks very delicious...

Nice! Given us quite a bit of idea as we will be traveling to Aomori and Hirosaki in November! 😄 Can’t wait to try those tasty Apple🍎 !😋

7:16 We have Jonagold apples in our store. Usually they are the cheapest ones. They taste ok but I prefer the green/yellow Italian Golden Delicious apples. The second pie looked like the ones we have here too.

👍😊❤🎉

Too bad you don't have a food tour business. Small groups of tourists you take around and introduce to local Japanese food in various cities, maybe travel around by train. I would go, if I had the time and the money and a passport.

I've never seen a square scallop before

You consist of 100% Aomori food 🍎

“First lunch” - love a man with the right prorities!

Man, an apple pie tour is sheer genius! It's peak apple season here in the States, and fresh apple cider and an apple pie sounds really good right now!

I don't think that there's any culture that can truly compete with Japan's fascination towards and excellence in the culinary world. The French absolutely do come close when it comes to the richness and the extent of their culinary history, but at least in my personal opinion, the average Japanese WAY out-fervors them and combines that with near-insane quality control among businesses in order to satisfy them. I mean, just think about it: I can go to a relatively-small city like Hirosaki and eat my way through dozens of extremely high-quality Japanese patisserie-style apple pies. In my much larger American hometown of Raleigh, I would be lucky if I could point out two or three places that make apple pies at the same quality level. Now, Raleigh is a fantastic city in its own way, but I just wish that the citizens could look their friends in the Far East to understand the importance of marketing and emphasizing the culinary culture.

Those apple pastries looked absolutely delicious!!!! Thanks for sharing

We just got our first batch of fresh apples from our local orchard! Nothing says fall like delicious apples 🤤

Looked like a nice trip and delicious food! Thanks for reminding me that I need to stop at my local apple orchard to see what varieties are available! 😁🍎😋

That apple pie guide map at 8:31 looked like a lot of fun! It would be great to spend a few days there and explore more of them! It's great when an area specializes in and promotes things like this. Great fun as a tourist! Thanks for making great videos!

And just as I finished watching the ferry video , up pops this one! I think my pie will have 2 small slices cut from it !! ❤️

All the food looked great . . .however did you have to eat the two apple pies in front of us? The first one was plated beautifully, the second was the one I'm used to. You had a very nice hotel room for 8500 yen. Enjoyed the food tour. Will definitely be with you on the next one. Take care, be safe.

I guess this part of Japan are where my favorite Mutsu apples come from!! ❤ I would love to see more videos from Hokkaido, Sapporo, etc. if you ever get a chance.

I remember Aomori mainly because of it being the birthplace for Nyango Star, so I suppose the mascot's efforts to promote Aomori as the place for apples in Japan is paying off. Never knew it's also the place for scallops though, because that's a lot of scallop in the miso soup, goodness. About the wasabi question, I do like my wasabi, just in small amounts. And only with sushi

Your video inspired me to visit Aomori today. I even tried the pasta at A-Factory. You were right, it was delicious! ありがとうございます！

I like these tours. 😊

I watched your voyage to the mainland and looked with glee to see you order two meals even though you had dinner. Your “apple quest” was very compelling with me getting moist in my mouth over your apple pastries. Then apple cider. Was it sparkling, I could not tell. Your other meals had me microwaving some chicken curry and aloo gobhi, leftover from tonight’s dinner. I laughed when you said you were full and was just looking at the ice cream….as a small container is shown in your hand. All in all, this was a terrific video with me drooling through most if it. I have been watching you for most of this year when you go on your ferry voyages. I came to that although it was intriguing to see your various accommodations, I always enjoyed your meals the best. I look forward to many more of your entries. Cheers from Colin.

Where do you put all that food. "Just looking"..... Yeah, just looking with your mouth.😅

This legend casually sneaking a curry in last minute. That hotel room looked awesome, I may have to look up Aomori more.

Come on buttercup suck it up..... you wanted to be a RU-vid Star!!! eat that pie 🥧🥧🥧🥧🥃😎

Everything looked appletizing . Hehehe .

I like this channel

But how was the scallop and apple curry though? I need to know. Was it genuinely nice, or did you just finish it out of politeness?

To answer your question, YES, I love wasabi.

1, 2 make it 3 Hirosaki Apple Pie to take away please! 💚

You know it tastes good when he says: !!

So many apple pies! 🍎 Another super fun video, thank you so much!

We have an Apple festival every year in my hometown. They serve “the world’s largest apple pie.” I don’t know if that’s true, but it is a pretty darn big apple pie.

My pie is round cut in wedges that is way i am used to it.

Seeing this I just had to make myself breakfast 🙂

Thought it was cool that you posted this right before Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year when we traditionally eat apples with honey. The apple pies and cider all looked so good! It’s interesting how sometimes your ferry rooms are more spacious than your hotel rooms, even for comparable prices. I laughed really hard at your battle with your camera focus.

I got excited when I received two notifications of your new videos!! Watching this one first!!

The best video ever. I would love to try all kinds of apple desserts sooner and visit some places u traveled to. It makes me hungry when u introduced one by one all kinds of apple pies. Hope u will introduce more foods that's famous in every city for preference in the future. Have a good day.

😋 Delicious destination! 👍🏼🍎✌🏼

It's really amazing how affordable the public transportation and food is in Japan. Here in the US everything would be so much more expensive. :(

The apple pie map has been on my list of things I want to do in Japan! My partner thinks I'm crazy for wanting to treat it as a check list, but I'm pretty sure with pacing I could get in 3-4 per day! :D

here is your honorary Hobbit Membership. Here's your secret Fellowship Decoder Ring. And here is your limited edition Brandybuck Belt Buckle. Enjoy!

Excited to be visiting there next year! Especially now that I know some places to eat!

All of that apple pie had more effort put into it than any American apple pie...

Wonderful. Thank you!

I did get hungry and had an apple fritter while watching you. Thank you for sharing this and I'm very happy you got "just one more" with the ice cream. Always get the ice cream :)

22:07 keep fooling yourself😏

🤘💙🤘

Hahaha! "Nothing...Just Looking...One Scoop." It is apple season here in NH USA, too!

How on earth is food in restaurants so cheap in Japan. Here in the UK I could just about buy 2 scallops from a fishmonger for half the price of that meal . In a Japanese restaurant here, that meal would be many times what you paid for it in Japan.

We just went to Aomori in June and had our lunch at the Art Hotel. Food was fantastic. A factory is a great place to explore. Too bad that we did not have much time.

This is going to be cruel, I love apples but they make me itch like a stray dog with fleas 😂 Though I really don’t like cooked apple and gluten hates me

Ordinary this would make me hungry before bed,but had AYCE 🍣. Still full

I’d come to Japan, if you could be my tour guide 😊

Thanks for bringing us along Be safe and God Bless.

Hi thanks for delicious looking posts. Can share which restaurants you had both the apple pies. I be in Aomori in April with a cruise, hope can taste the pies n ciders then. Thanks in advance.

Brasserie "Le Castle"! 😂 (LE château and The CASTLE had a baby...) Thanks STJ, apple pie made with Aomori apples sure sounds _yodare ga tare-sō na_ (mouth-watering). Another slice of Only-in-Japan: I like how having a rules-following and generally respectful population means you can enjoy semi-wild patches of forest in big cities, like this Hirosaki Park in Aomori, Meiji Jingu in Tokyo, Tadasu-no-Mori Forest in Kyoto etc.

What, Japan has comfy hotel room desk chairs? I hope that innovation spreads to the rest of the world...

I want to go to Aomori but man, I can't eat apples they give me heartburn lol

It finally dawned on me that you are the Calvin Trillin of Japan.

I love the way u make the videos. This was a treat to watch

Oh god you make me so hungry. Are the apple pies sweet? Apple pies in the US are loaded with sugar so I don’t eat it.

I happen to be In Aomori now and Im looking to hit up some of those spots. Thanks for making these videos.

A great tour, but next time show us the apple orchards...

A place that has its own apple pie map is exactly the kind of place I want to visit. I'm glad I was eating while watching this video, because I would have gotten hungry. As it is, I really want some apple pie now

People might be surprised that Aomori city gets more snow than anywhere in the world

What was that apple curry/rice like?

As much as you eat, how do you keep from being as big as a sumo wrestler.

Why am I not surprised that Japan takes apple pie and makes it's even better. Making me hungry just watching this.

Only one curry? Solo san are you well? Was the ice cream apple flavor?

I need to incorporate breakfast desserts into my life.

Loved your food tour

Oh gosh, this is making me crave apples! I want to go to the local orchard now.

Delicious apple pies!

“Nothing……just one scoop!” 😂🤣😂

Hot apple pie with vanilla ice creme is a good combo

whenever you are hungry again we need a new food tour pleeeease

These food looked so delicious おいしそう

More description! Love your videos 🎉

Solo traveller san, a note on the meaning of “dough” in English: it is only used for the uncooked mixture. Once cooked, it can’t be called dough any longer. In the case of a pie, it becomes pastry or “pie crust”. (To describe some thing that has been cooked as “doughy” means you think it has not been fully cooked.) Of course the apple pies in this video were not only obviously fully cooked but cooked with great skill and care.

Looks amazing....!

Apples + scallops = Good Time 🤣
