Local food and restaurants in Aomori
Apples are an obvious place to start in Aomori, but leave room for its seafood cooking too. Ichigo-ni is a clear soup made with sea urchin and abalone. An apple-based sweet makes a very different finish to the meal.

Choosing a meal in Aomori
Aomori’s apples make an easy snack or dessert, but ichigo-ni is a seafood meal rather than a fruit dish. It is not an everyday menu item everywhere, so look for the clear sea-urchin-and-abalone soup before picking a restaurant.
Tips for choosing a restaurant
If you’re walking around Hirosaki, stop for an apple snack. If ichigo-ni is on your wish list, look for it on the restaurant’s menu before making plans.
What else could you see nearby?
If you are going for Hirosaki’s blossoms, leave time to enjoy the park. It is a journey from Aomori Station, and adding Oirase or Lake Towada on the same day can leave you spending more time in transit than at the sights.
