A-FACTORY
A cider workshop and local-specialty market beside Aomori Station, where you can watch apple sparkling cider being brewed behind glass and taste it.
A-FACTORY opened in 2010 on the waterfront beside Aomori Station. Inside its triangular-roofed glass building is an apple cider (Cidre) brewery. Visitors can see the fermentation tanks through the glass, and can taste or buy the products at the bar. The ground-floor market brings together apple sweets, juices, seafood products and local sake from across Aomori Prefecture, along with restaurants and cafés, making it a good place to buy souvenirs while waiting for a train. Hours are about 9:00–20:00, varying by shop. It is a two-minute walk from Aomori Station, next to WA RASSE and the Hakkoda Maru.
