All Reviews of A-FACTORY

This building features a stylish triangular roof and transparent glass curtain walls. Inside, it combines a cider brewery, a market selling local products, and restaurants, making it an artsy landmark you shouldn't miss when visiting Aomori.

There are several light-meal and dessert shops inside. The most popular items are buckwheat galettes made with local Aomori ingredients and natural Italian gelato from Gelato Natura Due, available in flavors made with various varieties of Aomori apples.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Must-haves every time:
1. Gelato Natura Due natural Italian gelato in flavors made with various varieties of Aomori apples
2. Apple pie

As soon as you walk in, it’s packed with apple products—cookies, dried apples, apple juice, and more. There are also some handmade crafts to choose from. It’s a great place to pick up Aomori specialties.

The exterior is super photogenic, and inside it’s more of a multi-purpose shopping complex. For souvenirs, compared with the nearby Aomori Prefecture Tourist Center ASPAM, the items sold here feel a bit more refined.

I also bought my second Aomori apple pie here. It was tasty, but compared to Angelique in Hirosaki, it wasn’t as memorable.

The exterior of A-Factory really stands out, and the harbor bridge behind the building is a local landmark. You can see it as soon as you walk out of JR Aomori Station, so it's super convenient to get to!
