Nagano Prefecture is a famous apple-growing region, boasting the second largest volume of shipments in Japan. JA Nagano is known as one of the best apple-growing areas in the country, with its "gently sloping, well-drained terrain" and "temperature differences between day and night" that are ideal for growing apples. Due to the difference in elevation (350m to 1,500m), the apple season lasts from August to February without interruption.
JA Nagano grows a variety of apples, and the three original Nagano apple varieties, "Akibae," "Shinano Gold," and "Shinano Sweet," are very popular.

In addition, the strict quality checks at the public selection center and the "shipping teamwork" of the entire region also contribute to the delicious taste of JA Nagano's grapes.
