On January 24, we held a one-day apple pie event at Shibuya PARCO to commemorate the publication of Akiko Hirano's latest book, "Apple Pie of the World" (PARCO Publishing).

At ComMunE on the 10th floor of Shibuya PARCO, where the venue was held, an eat-in and take-out corner of "Matsunosuke" apple pie and cake of "Matsunosuke" appeared!

The market corner where you can purchase tableware and sweets tools that Mr. Hirano has purchased in Japan and overseas, original goods of "Matsunosuke" and baked goods, etc. were also bustling.

In the market corner, stylists Kanako Sasaki, Mariko Nakazato, and woodworker Masahiro Endo, who are taking care of PARCO Publishing, will also open stores.

The weather is good on the day, and you can eat red ball apple pie that can only be eaten at Matsunosuke at this time at Shibuya PARCO! You can buy it! It was a valuable opportunity, and many people came all day long.

In addition, a talk show with tasting of apple pie by Akiko Hirano, the author of "World Apple Pie", which was the centerpiece of the event, was also very popular.

For those who made a reservation in advance, we enjoyed the apple pie in the book, Ukrainian apple pie and tea in the lunch section, and French apple pie and cider in the evening section.

He talks about his passion for this book, which is 15 years of conception, his encounter with apple pie and teacher Dr. Sharoll, and a petit lecture on autographed books before release.

While enjoying a special apple pie for this day, it was a special time to listen directly to Mr. Hirano, who usually lives in New York.

Thank you to everyone who participated!

Please try making various "apple pies of the world" in the season of red ball apples.
