Browse at a popular Hirosaki apple pie shop for souvenirs—watch for sellouts
About this spot
When it comes to apple pie in Hirosaki, this French pastry shop's name invariably comes up. Their signature apple pie is a gem featuring caramelized Aomori Prefecture apples generously layered in crispy, fragrant pastry, with the apple's acidity and caramel's subtle bitterness in perfect balance. In Hirosaki's "Apple Pie Guide Map" featuring dozens of shops, this establishment consistently ranks among the top choices, and items often sell out by late afternoon. The showcase displays cakes and baked goods in a rainbow of colors, and the time spent choosing among them is part of the enjoyment. To cap off your journey, stock up on baked goods and apple pie to take home, and back at your friends' place, you can reminisce about Hirosaki's sweet aftertaste together.
Tips
About a 15-minute walk from JR Hirosaki Station, with convenient access from the city center. Popular apple pies may sell out in the afternoon, so avoid coming near closing time and arrive early. If purchases take time to wrap, a cooling bag comes in handy.
Best time to visit
Allow approximately 45 minutes. Visit by around 4:00 p.m. before sellouts increase.
