``Ringo Otome'' is a thin cookie made with sliced apples placed on a dough made of wheat, eggs, and apples. It is characterized by the refreshing aroma and sweet and sour taste of apples. The main ingredient is "plipped apples," which are extra fruits that are picked to produce better fruit, and which were previously discarded. It can be said that it is a Japanese product with a culture of ``mottainai''. Currently, we are proud of our sales, so much so that we use 50 tons of thinned apples a year. Although the apples are freshly harvested, they use apples from Nagano, one of Japan's most famous apples, and the taste is among the best in the world. The high level of taste is proven by the fact that it has been awarded the highest rank of three stars for 15 consecutive years in the iTQi International Excellent Taste Contest, which is judged by one of the world's best judges.
