On October 5th, an unmanned Apple store "Apple Store" was established on the premises of Hirosaki's entertainment office "Ringo Music" (Miyagawa, Hirosaki City).

"Apple Store" is a shooting set used for the music video (MV) of "Apple Store is an Apple Store" released in December last year when the current apple girl was a sister unit "Alps Otome". Last year, the shooting set was reused and set up as an unmanned sales office. We sold the harvested apples.

Unstaffed apple shops are set up in various parts of the Tsugaru area during the harvest season, and they are called "Aomori's Apple Stores" and are visited not only by locals but also by tourists. Customers put the purchase price in the fare box and take the product home, but because it is unmanned, it is said that damage such as theft is possible. In the "Apple Store", the lyrics of the same song are posted as "Basic belief juhan de (meaning to believe in Tsugaru dialect)".

The apples sold from this day are Toki and Ayaka harvested at the apple farm "Ringo Musume Smile Farm" opened last year, and the apples were harvested by the members themselves. With the concept of "half-farming, half-art", Ringo Musume's activities are based in this area, where they grow vegetables such as eggplants and green peppers in addition to apples.

The apples I am currently growing are Toki, Saika, Fujito Orin, and Jonagold. Since the harvesting times are different, Jonagold is scheduled to be sold after late October, and Fuji and Orin are scheduled to be sold after November.

Ringo Musume leader Pink Lady said, ``There are black spots on the surface of the apple, so in the general market, the apple is classified as a product with a reason, but I am confident in its taste. Please let me know what you think," he said with a smile.

The price is 300 yen for 2 pieces.
