A-FACTORY is a good place to stop by at the end of your trip in Aomori Prefecture. It is a spot where you can find a wide variety of foodstuffs, sundries, traditional crafts, and gourmet foods produced in Aomori.

Visitors can purchase food ingredients and local specialties at the Marché on the first floor. There are also shops making full use of ingredients from Aomori Prefecture, offering sweets and gelato made with Aomori-grown apples, hamburgers, and more. On the second floor, there is a restaurant specializing in galettes made with buckwheat flour from Aomori Prefecture and handmade dishes prepared with local ingredients, allowing visitors to enjoy regional cuisine throughout the facility.

The glass-walled cidery workshop on the first floor produces AOMORI CIDRE, an effervescent fruit wine made exclusively from carefully selected Aomori Prefecture apples, "Fuji" and "Jonagold". There is a tasting vending machine on the second floor, where visitors can compare the "Standard" with a clean taste, the "Sweet" with the sweetness of apples, and the "Dry" with its dry taste. You can purchase it at the Marché on the first floor if you like it. Apple soda is also available for those who don't like alcohol or for children. This spot alone is a great way to enjoy the charms of Aomori to the fullest.

    As soon as you walk in, it’s packed with apple products—cookies, dried apples, apple juice, and more. There are also some handmade crafts to choose from. It’s a great place to pick up Aomori specialties.

    The exterior is super photogenic, and inside it’s more of a multi-purpose shopping complex. For souvenirs, compared with the nearby Aomori Prefecture Tourist Center ASPAM, the items sold here feel a bit more refined.

    I also bought my second Aomori apple pie here. It was tasty, but compared to Angelique in Hirosaki, it wasn’t as memorable.

    The exterior of A-Factory really stands out, and the harbor bridge behind the building is a local landmark. You can see it as soon as you walk out of JR Aomori Station, so it's super convenient to get to!
