The weather in Aomori, Japan

Aomori Prefecture, located in the northernmost part of Honshu Island, Japan, belongs to the northeast of Japan. In the north, Tsugaru Strait is separated from Hokkaido, surrounded by an inner bay, and surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, the Sea of Japan and Tsugaru Strait on three sides. Its land area ranks eighth in Japan, with a forest coverage rate of nearly 70%, beautiful scenery and rich products.

Aomori Prefecture has four distinct seasons, beautiful scenery and cool climate. With the change of seasons, its climate change is quite obvious. The part on the sea of Japan is snowy, while the area on the Pacific Ocean is also low in summer, and the climate between the east and the west is quite different.

The western part of Aomori Prefecture is rich in apples and has the oldest apple tree in Japan. Its output and planting area rank first in Japan, accounting for half of the national total output. Not only the output is high, but also the quality is world-class. Known as "the most delicious apple in the world" overseas. Besides Fuji apples, Aomori has about 40 kinds of apples on the market, among which the most famous variety is World 1, each apple is over 500g, and its flesh is crisp and juicy.

And Aomori's amazing things are far more than that!

First, the most fireworks seafood market-Aomori Furukawa Market

Due to Aomori's unique geographical location facing the sea, fresh seafood can be caught all year round. Among many kinds of seafood, scallop production ranks second in Japan, and the yield of flounder and cuttlefish ranks first in Japan. Because Aomori is not a popular tourist destination, it is different from the hustle and bustle of "Toyosu Seafood Market in Tokyo" and "Heimen Market in Osaka", but "the sparrow is small and complete"

Second, the gift of "God"-empty sake.

In Japan, where drinking culture prevails, sake has a history of more than 2,000 years. In the process of Japan's transition from nomadic era to farming era, sake, as an important sacrifice to the gods, is often called a gift by the Japanese.

Under the long-term historical influence, sake brewers are divided into many schools due to different customs in various parts of Japan, but the "Du's" brewer school has the most local characteristics.

Sake, which best represents Aomori, is "empty". "Rukong" sake comes from Bagong Liquor Co., Ltd. in Aomori Prefecture, Japan, and has a brewing history of more than 230 years. The leader of brewing is "Uei Yuwen" from eight local families. Uei has been engaged in brewing for decades, and he joined Nandu Group, one of the few Japanese wine technology groups that originated in the Edo period. From novice to experienced Du, he has been studying for about 20 years and obtained the qualification of Du, the head of brewing. Then, based on these knowledge, technology and experience, for example, empty sake won the best prize in many wine tastings, wine tastings held in Aomori Prefecture, wine tastings held in southern Dushi Middle School and the most technical wine tastings "National Sake Appraisal Meeting" every year.

On the basis of the original good rice "Yamada Jin" for sake brewing, combined with the rice "Flower Blowing Snow" produced in Aomori Prefecture, the unique brewing rice in Aomori Prefecture was obtained, which combined the advantages of Yamada Jin and Flower Blowing Snow. Even if the polished rice is more than 50%, it is not easy to go bad. In the new wine period, the quality of the wine is pure and the taste is slightly light, but with the aging time getting longer, the taste will become smoother and mellow.

Third, the most famous traditional festival-"Sandman Festival"

Summer in Japan is the season of festivals and fireworks. During the festival, people carry huge lanterns and display them in the street. The patterns and designs of those lanterns are unique, and many of them were written by famous artists. They are very beautiful and stereoscopic. The most imposing and leading large-scale festival in northeastern Japan is the "Sandman Festival" in Aomori Prefecture, which has also been designated as an important national intangible folk cultural heritage by the Japanese government.

The biggest attraction of the Aomori Sandman Festival is the group dance of "assembling headlights" and "jumping people". The so-called "group lights" are "Niuruowan and Huaqing" (Niuruowan was the birth name of Genji's military commander Yuan Yi Jing from the end of heian period to the early Kamakura era; Hua Qing was originally a monk who broke the precepts. He was tamed by Yuan Yijing and became the minister of the former. ) "The color of the warrior is as beautiful as the three-dimensional headlights of kabuki; "Jumping Man" group dance is a spectacular group dance with drums and accompaniment.

Four, one of the most beautiful lakes in Japan-Okinawa Creek.

Jin Ao's Laichuan flows from Shihe Lake, and the source from the entrance "Zikou" to "Shaoshan" is Jin Ao's Laichuan Stream, which is about 14 km long. The water flow is extremely changeable, with primeval forests such as cypress, beech and maple all over the coast. There are all kinds of waterfalls here, including Yunjing Waterfall, Chunzi Waterfall with abundant water, Yu Lian Waterfall and Baisi Waterfall, which are scattered into beads. Together with Ten Hotan Lake, it was designated as a special scenic spot and natural monument in Aomori Prefecture.
