On April 22, Hirosaki opened the Starbucks Hirosaki Koenmae store (Kamihiragaku, Hirosaki City), forming a line of people who were quick to taste coffee.

This is the fifth store in Aomori Prefecture, the first store in the city, and the second store in Japan to operate as a nationally registered tangible cultural property. As it was adjacent to Hirosaki Park and the opening day was near the Sakura Festival, it was expected that not only citizens but also tourists would be crowded.

At 7 o'clock of the opening time, there was a line of about 150 people surrounding the shop. At the beginning, which had been lined up from 23:00 on the previous day, there was an apple candy man known as a "raw character" who moved to Hirosaki from Koenji in Tokyo in April. "There is no choice but to ride on this big wave," said Mr. Apple Ameman. At midnight, a stranger handed me tea and oden, he said, "I feel like I was touching the kindness of the Tsugaru people."

There is no queue even after the store opens, and there are posts on the Internet such as "It's really crowded" and "It's lined up!" There was also a disappointing voice.
