In recent years, as interest in sweets that combine visual beauty with the story of their ingredients has increased, Asanoya set out to develop a product with the hope that its signature apple pie could also become an item that 'moves the heart the moment you see it.' That is when we focused on 'red-fleshed apples' grown in Nagano Prefecture, which feature vivid flesh and a refreshing acidity. This fruit, which maintains its beautiful color even when baked, possesses not only great taste but also visual appeal. We pursued a manufacturing method that maximizes its individuality and finished it as an apple pie that can be enjoyed with all five senses.
