"Aomori Apple Juice" (Aino, Kuroishi) is currently selling mandarin juice "Mikan Mix" at the supermarket "Yaoko" (Kawagoe, Saitama) that operates in the Kanto area.

This product started selling as a private brand product of "Yaoco" in August this year. "Aomori Apple Juice" is a processed product company that manufactures apple juice "Shiny". The origin of the company name comes from the fact that the apple juice manufacturing division became independent from its predecessor, "Aomori Prefecture Apple Promotion," and "the company name was retained as the company that produces apple juice."

"Yaoco" has about 150 stores in the Kanto area centered around Saitama and also sells private brand products such as "Yes!" and "Star Select". A person in charge of the company said, "In April of last year, we developed apple juice "whole apple squeezed apples" in collaboration with "Aomori apple juice", and developed it as the second product (Mikan juice).

"Aomori apple juice" manufactures apple juice, drinking water containing vegetables, and tomato juice, and has also produced mandarin orange juice in the past. "We have been reducing the collection of raw apples for processing, and we were challenging other than apple juice," he said.

Customers say that they have the taste of a full-fledged adult and are well received. A person in charge of Yaoco said, "We would like to continue selling if the raw materials for mandarin oranges can be secured, but at present it is a limited quantity product."

The price is 128 yen (excluding tax).
