Eating at the [Asari] ramen shop was on our final day as well. I also tried my hand at a little snow clearing off the driveway of the house. Also before heading back to Tokyo, I bought a bunch of products that are only sold in Aomori Prefecture. And of course we will be buying another ekiben for our trip home.
「あさ利」で食べたねぎラーメンも実は、私たち青森に居る最終日でした。雪かきもちょっとやって、東京に帰る前に青森限定のものも買いました。あとの楽しみは帰りの新幹線で食べる駅弁。
This is hard work. I only lasted 10 minutes. I wonder if I will actually be able to live in Aomori through a full winter.
雪かきって大変な仕事だ。10分で疲れた。いずれは青森で本当に生活出来るのかな。特に青森の冬。

This was interesting. A vending machine where you can try 5 different kinds of Aomori Nihon-shu.
これは面白かった。自動販売式で青森のいろんな日本酒が味わえる。
And now for some Aomori products I bought:
そして青森産の品々:
Hakkoda Milk Pie / 八甲田のミルクパイ
One year anniversary sake for the opening of Shin-Aomori station.
東北新幹線 新青森開業一周記念の酒。
Ekiben for the trip home - Hotate meshi
帰りの駅弁 ‐ 津軽手造りほたてめし。
Not as great as the ekiben we had on our way to Aomori but we bought for half-price.
行くの駅弁より美味しくなかったが、半額で買ったから良いか。
For dessert - Joppari Daiko
駅弁食べたあとはじょっぱり太鼓。
Stamina-gen Tare is a popular sauce sold in Aomori. I had to try this stamina-gen flavored furikake.
青森名物と言えばスタミナ源たれがその一つ。スタミナ源たれふりかけがみつかったので気になって購入しました。
I also found a miso curry gyunyu ramen furikake and had to buy that as well. Unfortunately, it isn't as good as the original ramen.
味噌カレー牛乳ラーメンふりかけも発見して、それも購入するしかなかった。でお残念ながら、味噌カレー牛乳ラーメンほど美味しくない。
Dake Kimi from Hirosaki (yes, it's an ear of corn, but it's darn delicious)
嶽きみ、超美味しいとうもろこしだ。東北と北海道でとうもろこしはきみというのだ。
Yet another snack - Patissier's Apple Stick
もたお菓子です ‐ パティシエのりんごスティック
Tsugaru Rice Cracker / 津軽せんべい
And so concludes are latest trip to Aomori.
そして青森旅行の幕が閉じた。
