RINGO IÉ, a new gift brand originating from Yamagata (operated by Regleap Co., Ltd., HQ: Koriyama, Fukushima; CEO: Hiroki Ishii), has launched with the mission to re-weave the rich blessings of various Japanese regions, along with the techniques and stories rooted in those lands.
## Brand Philosophy
While visiting various production sites across Japan, we encountered an apple orchard where we were moved by the nature, the people carefully cultivating the materials, and those working to inherit these traditions. We believe there is still untapped richness in Japan's regions. We want to deliver the blessings and values unique to these lands to as many people as possible. This is the origin of RINGO IÉ.
## First Collection: Limited RINGO IÉ Apple Juice Collection 2026
The 2026 first release features two varieties of apples from Wagodaira, Asahi-town, Yamagata Prefecture: 'Fuji' and 'Shinano Gold'.
### Carefully Selected Ingredients | The Famous Apple Region 'Wagodaira'
Asahi-town is the birthplace of sun-facing, non-bagged 'Fuji' apples. It is a prestigious production area that has achieved the highest market prices in Japan for Fuji apples. Within this area, Wagodaira is renowned as the finest place for growing apples. Located at the foot of Bandai-Asahi National Park, surrounded by mountains, Wagodaira sits on hills at an altitude of approximately 250m. The significant day-night temperature difference and clay-rich soil allow the fruit to slowly develop sweetness and aroma.
