Currently, not only tourists but also local regulars and all users are presented. User comments such as "because I am thirsty while driving" and "because my child is on board" make Mr. Saito confident that "Hirosaki's original service is taking root."

Recently, there are many tourists from abroad, and even if they don't understand the language, they will be pleased if they give apple juice. "It could also be a PR for Hirosaki's apples," Saito said. "It's a small hospitality, but I want to continue what I can do as a gas station," he said.
