Tsugaru Apples

A cross between the Golden Delicious and the Fuji, the Tsugaru apple is a Japanese variety celebrated for its low acidity, crisp bite, and naturally sweet flavor. It’s one of the earliest fall apples to ripen, making it a refreshing transition from summer fruit to true apple season.

Tsugaru apples have smooth red skin over a yellow base and a juicy, fine-grained flesh that’s excellent for fresh eating, salads, and light baking. Their balanced sweetness and delicate crunch make them especially appealing for kids and those who prefer mild, less tart apples.

Flavor & Texture: Sweet, crisp, and juicy with low acidity.
Best For: Fresh eating, salads, and mild baking.
