However, that’s a part of fruit picking but this time you are not going to do that instead you should be ready to pick some vegetable. Guess what? It’s Fukaura Yuki-Ninjin (Snow Carrot). It is kind of a sweet carrot. The taste of a single Yuki Ninjin is very sweet, yeah sweeter than usual. If you want to know how this variety of carrot was introduced then read this post.

If you love outdoor adventures, you should travel to Fukaura town, located in southwestern Aomori prefecture. There you can have freshly picked Yuki-Ninjin. Do it yourself with the guidance of the farmers and have some fun picking juicy sweet carrots. Usually they are harvested in mid-winter when heavy snowfall is expected. And it is believed that before consumption they are left for two or three days after harvesting to make the carrots slightly sweeten.
