Aomori A-Factory

A one-stop market for locally produced food and drink

Peter Sidell Nov 03, 2013 - 1 min read

You can pick from scores of different locally produced drinks

There's a huge range of local food products to choose from

Juices, wines, liquors, oils, beers and vinegars

Part of the fun is that you don't know what you'll find on the next stand

Jams, preserves and teas are also for sale

You can sit and sample your buys at the food court

Or you can buy something to try from the counter

A-Factory is on the waterfront by the impressive bay bridge

Located on the waterfront just a minute from Aomori station, A-Factory is a great place to sample locally produced food and drinks. It houses a produce market with hundreds of different food and drink products for sale, many of them made from the apples for which the prefecture is famous. There's also an apple cider factory, a cake shop, and a food court where you can buy freshly prepared meals to eat in, take out or, in summer, enjoy on the outdoor beer terrace.
