Chew sticks from Aomori Prefecture, 6-7mm thick. - Origin: Aomori Prefecture - Variety: Koutoku - Size: 6-7mm - Length: 15cm - Quantity: 100 sticks These are pruned this season (^^) After pruning, they are washed, sterilized by boiling, and naturally dried ( ^ω^ ) The "Koutoku" variety is a very delicious apple with plenty of honey, low acidity, and a strong sweetness. However, compared to other varieties, it is smaller and was prone to quality variations. Therefore, it rarely appeared in the market, and at one point, almost all the growers disappeared, nearly leading to its extinction. These chew sticks are made from the branches of this apple, which is also known as the "phantom apple" (o^^o) Thank you for viewing.
