The History of Japanese Apple

It is believed that apples were first introduced to Japan from China around the year 918. 
During this time the fruit was a lot smaller than today's standards and were mainly used for  culinary use.
They were also given as offerings as Buddhist temples. Everything changed in 1871, when a large surplus of varieties was imported from the United States and distributed  across the country.
Regions like Aomori located in the north of Japan took a liking to growing all these apples as they were able to flourish in the plummeting temperatures while other produce like rice could not.
As the cultivation of apples continued to expand over the years, new types were being developed and produced, notably to increase its size.
At  present day it has gotten to the point where Japanese apples are usually larger in size and a  lot sweeter than Western ones.
