Frozen Fruit
100-Year-Old Apple (Aomori Prefecture)

Harvested from trees grafted from century-old apple trees at Yamada Orchard in northern Japan, these apples are unusually sweet.

Amaou strawberry (Fukuoka Prefecture)
This juicy strawberry is a perfect balance of sweet and sour flavors. With each strawberry containing the same amount of vitamin C as half a lemon, this fruit also helps improve your immunity and beauty.

Setoka citrus (Aichi Prefecture)
The rich and juicy flavor of this citrus, paired with its fresh orange aroma, goes superbly with the chocolate.

Kiwifruit (Saga Prefecture)
In addition to the digestive enzyme actinidain, this fruit packed with vitamins and minerals has become well known recently for its superfood properties.

Starfruit (Okinawa Prefecture)
Deriving its name from the star-like shape visible when you cut into it, this fruit offers various beauty benefits thanks to its high vitamin C levels equivalent to six times that of a regular orange.
