[Kai Tsugaru] “Autumn Leaves Apple Lounge” to enjoy the autumn leaves and seasonal apples in the water garden.

2022.09.14

From October 15 to November 5, 2022, “Kai Tsugaru,” an Onsen inn in Aomori, will feature an “Autumn Leaf Apple Lounge” with seasonal apples, hot drinks, and private space.

A special seat in the water garden where you can immerse yourself in the superb view

In the “Tsugaru Four Seasons Water Garden” where you can feel the taste of Tsugaru’s four seasons, there are apples, autumn leaves, and red table sets reminiscent of Tsugaru lacquerware.
We will prepare a seat with a tree that bears apples of the traditional craft “Tsugaru lacquerware” so that you can enjoy it as if you were eating near the apple tree.
The table is a kotatsu, so you can enjoy it without worrying about the cold.

Apples, a seasonal delicacy lined up in a Tsugaru-nuri sweets box

We will prepare apple tea and compare the taste of apples harvested from the apple farm that spreads out in front of KAI Tsugaru.
Three types of cut apples and two types of bite-sized apple sweets are packed in a sweets box of Tsugaru’s traditional craft “Tsugaru lacquer”.
Depending on the time of year, you can taste varieties with different sweetness and sourness, as well as rare varieties that are not well known even to the locals.

Original autumn-themed Tsugaru-nuri tea set

In collaboration with young local artists, we will prepare 4 types of Tsugaru lacquered cups and 12 types of coasters with an autumn theme.
There are various techniques for Tsugaru lacquerware, and the colors and techniques vary depending on the artist.
You can choose your favorite combination from a variety of unique tea utensils and enjoy a tea ceremony with your own original tea utensil set.
