It's been a week since the apple juice "World's No. 1", which uses rare apple varieties, started selling.

This product was released on October 6 as a new product of the "Aomori apple series" using apples from Aomori prefecture of the original beverage brand "acure made" by JR East Water Business (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo). The series features apple juice using a single variety, and some varieties will be sold for a limited time at the time of harvest.

"World's No. 1" is a variety cultivated in Aomori Prefecture, and the name comes from the fact that it was said to be the largest in the world when it was first born. According to a PR person in charge of Accure, the planted area in Aomori Prefecture is a rare variety of about 0.5% of the total, and it is rarely made into a beverage.

Only the vending machine "Apple Vending Machine" that handles only the "Aomori Apple Series" is sold. Since its first appearance at Shin-Aomori Station in December 2017, the vending machine has been a hot topic on SNS and other media. It was installed at Hirosaki Station in February this year, and at Tokyo Station and Ueno Station on October 6 to coincide with the sale of "the best in the world".

When "World's No. 1" started selling, shipments continued to exceed the initial forecast, and on the 12th, the mail order was announced on official Twitter. The person in charge said, "In a world where it is difficult to go out, we developed it to convey the charm of Aomori for those who can not go even if they want to go to Aomori. I am sorry for those who are interested, but the quantity is limited Since it is a rare variety, the future schedule is undecided. "

Currently on sale at Hirosaki Station. Since the "apple vending machine" is inside the ticket gate, some people bought an admission ticket to buy "the best in the world."

The price is 300 yen (280 ml).
