Kosaka apple

Kosaka apples are a type of Japanese apple and are a natural monument that has been handed down in Iizuna Town since ancient times. As the popularity of Western varieties of apples increased, the cultivation of Kosaka apples declined and was once on the verge of extinction, but now about 50 farmers have cultivated Kosaka apples and have revived.

Kosaka apples are about the size of a ping-pong ball, and are characterized by the fact that they grow like bells and have a lovely crimson color. If you eat it as it is, it will have a strong astringency, but if you make it into raw sake and use it for brandy, it will have a bitter depth.
