Beni-Beni

Small bakery in Nagano City beloved for its freshly baked apple pies made with Shinshu apples, the fragrant, crisp variety grown in the orchards surrounding the Japanese Alps. The pies feature a buttery, flaky crust enveloping chunks of tender apple lightly spiced with cinnamon, and are best enjoyed warm from the oven. The bakery also offers other apple-based treats and seasonal pastries that highlight Nagano's reputation as one of Japan's premier fruit-growing regions. Located within easy reach of Zenkoji Temple, Beni-Beni makes a perfect stop for a sweet snack while exploring Nagano's historic temple district.
