【Origin of the name】
I heard that the word “Miccan” was coined to mean “Kanji / Koji”, which is sweet like honey, because the varieties introduced from China during the Muromachi period were sweeter than the citrus fruits that had been used until then. 1603 to 1604 Nippo Dictionary; Vocabulario da Lingoa de Iapam com a declaração em Portugues: Published in Nagasaki by the Jezus Society (Oxford University Library, Portuguese Ebola Public Library, French National Library, Brazilian Rio de Janeiro National Library) As it is written as miccan in “(confirmed storage in)”, it seems that it was pronounced miccan in the old days. This dictionary has 25,967 words in the main story and 6,831 words in the addendum when calculated using headwords. Excluding duplicates, the total number seems to be 32,293 words. As expected, this amount cannot hide the surprise in a short period of time. “Ajimaru mandarin oranges” are carefully selected under strict quality control and have successfully cleared the standards for delicious satsuma oranges.
【Major features】
The history of Nagasaki mandarin is that in 1780 (Tenmei era), the lord of the Omura domain, 'Sumiyasu Omura-Ko', introduced the Satsuma domain's ”Nagashima mandarin” (Izumi District (former: Azuma Town) Nagashima-cho's Wenshu mandarin) to Ikiriki Village. It is said that it was first cultivated by Mr. Yuiemon Tanaka, Mr. Rinemon Tanaka, and Mr. Tsuguemon Nakamichi (Chudo) (currently Tarami Town, Izumi District). “Egami Buntan” was born in Sasebo City, “Hirado Buntan” was born in Hirado City, and Citrus unshiu cultivation started in Ikiriki (Isahaya City) and Nagayo Town. Citrus Unshiu has heard that the seeds brought back from China by the envoy to Tang China began to bear fruit and were found in Kagoshima. It is said that “Ikiriki-based Citrus unshiu” has been cultivated from the “Ikiriki region” and has been cultivated, and saplings have been shipped nationwide. In 1876, mandarin oranges were sold by hand in the castle town. In addition, from around 1887, the production area of mandarin oranges was expanded in “Ikiriki Village”, and even today, the area is the main production area in Nagasaki Prefecture. From 1961 “Fruit Tree Agriculture Promotion Special Measures Law Enforcement (Cabinet Order No. 145)”, the Nagasaki Prefecture Citrus Promotion Plan was formulated, and the citrus cultivation area is rapidly increasing throughout the prefecture. Demand for fruit trees in Japan is generally declining and stagnant, and there is a growing tendency for small quantities to be sold as other items and for good quality. Many fruits, including mandarin oranges, are in overproduction. There are increasing demands from other countries to expand imports of fruits and fruit products. In order to achieve sound development, it is necessary to deal with the overproduction trend of fruits. Induce production that responds to trends. Fostering independent fruit tree farmers who can be the core players in the production area. And it is necessary to further strengthen the constitution of fruit tree agriculture. The system for promoting fruit tree agriculture was strengthened（Partial amendment of Law No. 15, July 1, 1985）. To the prefectural governor, the then Vice-Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries（After retiring, he will assume the post of chairman of the Norinchukin Bank.）. In 1974, the cultivated area of Satsuma mandarin reached 14,900 ha, and the production volume exceeded 200,000 tons. However, after peaking around this time, the cultivated area and production volume continued to decline, and after the liberalization of imports of orange fruits and fruit juice, the cultivated area as of 2013 was 3,300 ha and the production volume was 60,900 tons nationwide. It is the fifth largest production volume. In 1597, Nagasaki was the first onion to land in Japan by a Portuguese ship. The production of early-maturing onions is thriving, and it has a good reputation for its freshness and good taste. I hear that potato was introduced from Jakarta to nagasaki by a Dutch ship in 1598. It boasts the second largest production volume after Hokkaido, and Minamishimabara City is one of the leading production areas in the prefecture. Cultivation started in earnest in the Meiji era, and now it is cultivated based on two crops, spring and autumn, taking advantage of the warm climate. Asparagus officinalis was introduced to Nagasaki as ornamental from the Netherlands during the Edo period. There are spring and summer seasons, and spring asparagus grows slowly over time, so it has a strong sweetness and is rich in minerals and especially vitamin C. Summer asparagus has a beautiful light green color because it grows at a stretch due to the blessings of the daytime sun, and it is soft to the vicinity of the root. I hear that the bright red tomatoes were introduced to Nagasaki from the Netherlands at the end of the 17th century”. City jurisdiction, Kuidetsu, Takematsuhonmachi, Ozato Town, Matsubarahonmachi. City designated historic site : Ozato-伝 Mr. Doi Suzuta's Tomb, Conflict with ‘SUMIYASU Omura’-Ko : Master-Slave Relationship. Citrus varieties born in Nagasaki Prefecture: “Wase Haraguchi” was discovered in 1969 by Mr. Seiji Haraguchi of Nishisonogi-cho, Nishisonogi-gun, Nagasaki Prefecture (currently Saikai City) as a sport of “Wase Miyagawa” in his own garden. NS. (Close to Haraguchi Mikan: Coral reef: Limestone: Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) calcite and aragonite) It is said that it was formed by uplifting from the seabed about 30 million years ago. “Tsugama Limestone Cave” : (Designated as a national natural memorial in 1936.) The group has completely different characteristics from other limestone cave due to its material and new generation age, and the world But it is rare. (Our ancestors: Mandarin was born about 3 million years ago. There are historical theories about primates, 70 million years BC, and human beings 5 million years ago ... Mysterious romance.) “Wase Miyagawa” is believed to have occurred around 1909 (Meiji 42) as a branch of the traditional (ordinary) Citrus unshiu planted in the residence of Mr. Kenkichi Miyagawa in Yanagikawa City, Fukuoka Prefecture. From 1923 (Taisho 12) Dr. Chozaburo Tanaka (1885 (Meiji 18)-(Showa 51) 1976) (A Monograph of the Satsuma Orange) Taipei Imperial University, 1932 (Showa) 7)) (“Citrus Research, Vol. 16” 1927 (Showa 2) Yokendo (published in 1933 (Showa 8)) after a detailed investigation, and since it was named, it has been expanded. It is a nationally well-known representative variety of early-maturing Citrus unshiu and ordinary Citrus unshiu. The tree vigor is strong, it tends to be fertile and easy to grow. It has a rich taste and is considered to be the most suitable as a new species for institutionalization. The characteristics of “Haraguchi” mandarin, which is a representative of early-maturing varieties in Nagasaki Prefecture, are large, soft and sweet. Products that form the basis of various researches, such as soil improvement methods using red soil and special sand using the technique of covering with white sheets, and homemade fertilizers devised by our own theory (cultivation manager: Mr. Haraguchi). From the (love for people) Philanthropic spirit (Philanthropy) by Yuen. The “Wase Haraguchi” mandarin orange is a log that only about 30 exist in the Haraguchi Orchard (Saikai City). It is said that only “Son Mikan” is a seedling that is divided into stocks. “Wase Iwasaki”, 1968, Mr. Denichi Iwasaki of Nakaura Nango (currently Saikai City), Saikai Town, Nishisonogi District, Nagasaki Prefecture, was discovered as a sport of “Wase Okitsu” in the field. It is an early-maturing variety. The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Seedling Law has not yet been confirmed. In the field of Mr. Tsugio Ozaki of “Sasebo Unshu”, Sasebo City, Nagasaki Prefecture, a branch change was confirmed from a 15-year-old tree of “Wase Miyagawa”, and it was discovered in 1975. In 1993 (Heisei 5), at the Nagasaki Fruit Tree Experiment Station, virus-free: Once infected, plants cannot be excluded from immunity and cannot escape the virus for the rest of their lives.) Was carried out, and in 1998, the sale of seedlings to the mikan production area in Nagasaki Prefecture became popular. The harvest season is expected from late November to early December, and it is a mesophyll system that is about 10 days later than “Wase Miyagawa”. “Shiranuhi Orange: Sumo Mandarin”, You have to give a lot of nutrition, and you need to irrigate and fertilize well when the flowers bloom and become young. Born in 1972 in Minamishimabara (Kuchinotsu), Nagasaki. It is famous as a fruit born by crossing “Kiyomi Orange（Citrus unshiu × Sinensis）” and “Ponkan（Nakano No. 3: Citrus reticulata var poonensis (Hayata) H.H. Hu）”. After ripening well on the tree, store for half a month to a month. It seems that the sourness will be removed and the sweetness will increase. Cultivation of Citrus Unshiu, which uses less water to increase sugar content, requires a slightly different cultivation method. The process by which green plants turn carbon dioxide and water into food using energy obtained from light from the sun; The process plants use to take the energy from sunlight and use it to convert carbon dioxide and water into food- Photosynthesis. “Amakusa（Kumamoto Prefecture）” Crossing combination, old strain name (Kiyomi × Wase Okitsu) -No. 14 × page.

Unique sweetness, chewy texture, and wonderful fragrance. I have introduced several types, but I will trace the history in the near past. In the Meiji era, citrus cultivation became popular with Ikiriki, and it seems that there is a record that it started exporting Satsuma mandarin to Vladivostok. In 1900, he started a citrus cultivation test at the Nagasaki Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station and started to support the production area. The Fruit Tree Research Division (Isahaya City) of the Nagasaki Prefectural Agriculture and Forestry Technology Development Center has been developing and nurturing the first new variety of “Satsuma mandarin” in the prefecture after about 15 years and research results from 2000 (Heisei 12). The long-awaited “Nagasaki Kaken Sasebo No. 1” has been trained. Based on the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Variety Registration and Seedling Law, application for registration was made in 2013, and Nagasaki City, Nagasaki Prefecture was registered in 2015.

It is said that women's clubs, youth clubs, and JA staff are playing a central role in conducting food and agriculture education activities for children who will lead the next generation in various parts of the JA Nagasaki Saikai jurisdiction. The purpose is to make people feel the importance of “agriculture” that supports Japan's "food" and the importance of locally produced safe, secure and high-quality agricultural and livestock products. I would like to give you a brief overview of Sasebo City, Nagasaki Prefecture, which is the production center of the products introduced this time. Located in the northern part of the prefecture, it is a city blessed with abundant nature, represented by Saikai National Park “Kujuku Island”. It has a history of prospering as a military port of the former Navy, and now has a US naval base, and is also an international port city. It is also widely known as a tourist city such as Japan's largest theme park “Huis Ten Bosch”. The facility covers 152 hectares and is said to be about 1.5 times larger than Tokyo Disney Resort, and is famous as the largest theme park in Japan. When you visit the park, you can feel the retro atmosphere of the Dutch cityscape, and you can enjoy the atmosphere of Europe as a whole. “Saikai National Park and Kujuku Island” float in a row in the calm sea. There are 208 islands over a range of about 25 km. Most are uninhabited islands, but four of them are inhabited by people. The scenery of Kujuku Island, which is long from north to south, seems to change greatly depending on where you look. The islands in the quiet area are rounded and look kind. In areas where the waves are rough and the wind is strong, the shaved rock surface is rough and it seems to be awesome. There are many observatories in the city to enjoy Kujuku Island, which has many expressions, and you can see the rich scenery. Also, in the center of the city, “Saruku City 403 Arcade”, which has a total length of about 1 km, is a lively shopping street with about 160 stores. In the immediate vicinity, there are shopping spots where you can feel the food culture of Sasebo and the humanity of the citizens, such as the “Tonoo Market”, which is lined with old-fashioned shops such as butcher shops and fish stores, and the market “Tonneru Yokocho” that uses the ruins of an air raid shelter. Since the Taisho era, it has been popular with the citizens as a kitchen in Sasebo. There is a side street along the national highway, and it is a market made by making the best use of the air raid shelter during the war. Are lined up. The good old Showa scent comes from there. Various cultures are rooted in Sasebo, such as Hirado ware; Mikawachi（The 28th Hirado feudal lord, Takanobu Matsuura (a warring lord of Hizen Province, Saga Genji's first-class Matsuura, 25th head)-Ko ordered Sannojo to open a pottery factory for the feudal clan. In 1638, Shigenobu-Ko, the 29th feudal lord, appointed Sannosuke as the lord and daikan of Sarayama, and in 1643, it seems that he set up branch offices of the Sarayama government office in Kiharayama and Enagayama. The Hirado Domain, which had abundant finances due to Nanban trade, lost its trading interests because the Dutch trading house moved to Dejima, Nagasaki. Therefore, with the encouragement of the clan, when the kiln became larger with the years, the clan sought sales channels overseas, worked to develop ceramics for export, and developed thin coffee bowls and the like. In 1804, it was exported to the Netherlands and China, and was loved by royal aristocrats overseas.）, which used to be a kiln for the Hirado domain and has a history of more than 400 years, Kuroshima Catholic Church, which tells the culture of hidden Christians, and valuable naval heritage and remains of the former Navy era. It's a city. After the war, it developed as a US Navy base town, and now, in addition to the Japan-US exchange event, the new YOSAKOI Sasebo Festival is also an annual autumn event. Blessed with a warm climate and abundant natural environment, “Saikai oranges” in the southern part of Sasebo City are produced in an environment overlooking Omura Bay and Huis Ten Bosch. Garden registration system: In order to cultivate Saikai brand oranges “Ajimaru" and "Ajikko”, it is necessary for each producer to voluntarily register which brand to cultivate. Cultivation conditions and cultivation management are set by the brand, and quality checks and cultivation management guidance are conducted on a regular basis to maintain the quality of branded oranges. In the registered cultivated gardens, the whole family uses fertilizers that are mainly organic, and the white sheet mulch that covers the entire garden controls the intrusion of rainwater to dry the soil and dazzle the reflected light. Thorough management is carried out every day to raise the sugar content, such as giving plenty of bath. The mandarin oranges grown through the collaboration of the producer's affectionate daily management, the mineral-rich sea breeze, and the bright sunlight become “Saikai satsuma oranges” that contain plenty of nutrients such as amino acids. The taste is very sweet and has a strong impression. Thorough selection is carried out in order to ship Saikai mandarin oranges that are not only delicious but also safe and secure. Producer: Timely harvest based on quality standards, check for scratches and rot by producers, bring in fruit sorting station. Fruit sorting station: check for scratches and rot by workers, check for scratches and rot by fruit sorting machine (sensor) , Fruits are sorted by size and brand (appearance, sugar content, acid) using a fruit sorter (sensor) before shipping. “Ajimaru” and “Ajikko” are gems that pursue deliciousness by designating a garden where you can get the most delicious oranges in “Sasebo Unshu”. Among the sweet and ripe oranges, we select only those that contain a lot of amino acids in addition to high sugar content and have “umami” and “richness”. In addition, there is the famous “Dejima no Hana” as the top brand unified in Nagasaki prefecture. Ajimaru has a sugar content of about 12 degrees (shipping time: early November to late February) Ajiko has a sugar content of about 13 degrees (shipping time: mid-November to late February) Dejima no Hana has a sugar content of about 14 degrees. (Shipping time: from mid-December to late January). “Saikai mandarin” boasts one of the highest quality and production volume in Japan, and has been highly evaluated, with the market transaction unit price being the highest in Japan in the Kanto region and other regions. It will be the effort value of the producer and the related parties who follow. The season is from October to January, but it seems that they use the house and ship tangerines in August (heated cultivation), February, and March (unheated cultivation). Citrus fruits are shipped almost all year round, including midnight citrus fruits. It is rich in “Vitamin C”, which has a high antioxidant effect, and “β-cryptoxanthin,” which is attracting attention as a substance with a high carcinogenic suppressive effect. It is not only sweet and delicious, but also good for the body. 100% natural fruit juice made by squeezing ripe oranges harvested at the most delicious time of the season as they are, and additive-free straight juice is also famous. It doesn't contain a single drop of water. Naturally, you can enjoy the taste of the ingredients themselves rather than the concentrated and reduced juice. The criteria for mandarin oranges, which are defined as delicious, are that they have a high sugar content, that they have a good balance of sweetness and acidity, and that they have a thin skin.
