The Takeuchi family's words or hearts permeate the desire to feel free to enjoy the unique flavor with a fresh and refreshing scent and a slight bitterness. Japanese Butterbur Simmered in Soy Sauce is also available in Makunouchi bento lunch box, etc. A familiar dish. Not limited to Japanese food, it seems that it is also recommended to make stir-fried food with meat and marinade with sour taste. With cultivation techniques, you can enjoy the taste of spring quickly and for a long period of time. I think that it is a real feeling as a consumer and a proof that we can eat and connect with a wide variety at the daily dining table. May Chita's Japanese butterbur be delivered to many people!

After harvesting, old strains are plowed in to make soil, and virus-free strains propagated by JA are planted as seed strains. When the seeds are refrigerated for about two months and then planted in the summer, the butterbur grows with the illusion that it has changed from winter to spring, and it seems that it can be harvested from controlled cultivation in autumn. After harvesting the autumn butterbur, the spring butterbur can be harvested from February by forcing cultivation that keeps it warm in a plastic greenhouse after exposing it to the cold and makes you feel early spring. It is said that it has achieved long-term shipment until May by combining controlled cultivation and forcing cultivation. Traditional vegetables, which herald the arrival of spring, are one of the few edible plants native to Japan that grow naturally throughout Japan and have been popular as wild plants. Boyfriends and girlfriends (male and female) are still loved.

【Major features】
JA Aichi Keizairen's efforts to optimize fruit and vegetable distribution are said to have begun in 2019 at the Ichichita Agricultural Cooperative. It seems to be a wide-area agricultural cooperative with 16,000 regular members, whose jurisdiction is 5 cities and 5 towns on the Chita Peninsula. The main fruits and vegetables are butterbur, onions, cabbage, eggplants, figs and mandarins, and it seems that many items are produced. In recent years, the production of fruits and vegetables has been gradually decreasing due to the aging of farmers, and the shipment of fruits and vegetables in 2019 was 10,859 tons, which seems to have decreased by 35% from 2010. This is also the background behind the need for optimization of fruit and vegetable distribution. There is a distance of nearly 40 km from the base of the Chita Peninsula to the tip, and before the merger, each former agricultural cooperative had a collection point, so it seems that it still has 16 collection points. One of the important issues in optimizing the distribution of fruits and vegetables was the review of the collection and shipping system, including the consolidation of collection points. Table As of the end of 2019, a total of 17 items were collected, 7 of which were collected at multiple collection points, and cabbage was collected at 5 collection points. Looking at each collection point, I heard that there are collection points such as Utsumi and Taketoyo that have only one item and a small quantity. Many trucks appear to be picking up multiple items from multiple pick-up points. It seems that there are many trucks that collect 8 items from 5 locations. However, looking at the load capacity of each truck, it seems that none of them have reached full capacity. In addition, it seems that there were some cases where the staying time at the collection point where multiple items were collected was as long as 2 hours. It seems that some trucks that go around many collection points spend more than five hours just to finish the collection. It seems that there were many issues to be solved in order to realize efficient truck operation. It seems that the transportation of fruits and vegetables was carried out by three transportation companies. It seems that these three companies were taken over by JA Aichi Chita, who had a contract with each of the former single cooperatives before the integration. Therefore, even now, the collection point in charge of each trader is decided based on the range of the former single cooperative, and it seems that the coordination and adjustment of luggage beyond that range is not done. I heard that if adjustments can be made between carriers, effects such as an improvement in the loading rate can be expected. In addition, among the fruits and vegetables shipped from JA Aichi Chita, there are those that are distributed independently and those that are distributed by JA Aichi Keizairen. It doesn't seem to be. It seems that it is thought that if unified measures and adjustments can be realized in this respect as well, it will lead to improved distribution efficiency. It seems that it is difficult to make an operation plan for a pickup truck that matches the actual shipment quantity because it is not possible to accurately grasp the shipment quantity in advance. Previously, it was not possible to fully grasp the planned shipping quantity in advance, but now it seems that each collection point reports the planned shipping quantity the day before and prepares a vehicle allocation plan based on it. However, at present, there are cases where there is a discrepancy between the planned shipping quantity and the actual shipping quantity. I hear that improving the accuracy of grasping the planned shipment quantity in advance is an indispensable issue in making an appropriate vehicle allocation plan. Furthermore, it seems that problems in cargo handling and transportation are also raised for each individual item. In the case of butterbur, the pick-up time seems to be limited because the producers bring what they bring to the pick-up area and load it directly onto the truck. For onions, it seems that extra loading personnel will be required if cardboard boxes and net items are mixedly loaded. In cucumbers, it is difficult to sort by class, items, and order. Furthermore, it seems that it is pointed out that it is not possible to grasp the shipping quantity in advance for items with a large shipping quantity, and that for items with a small shipping quantity, it is necessary to go to pick up for that purpose. In order to improve and improve the efficiency of vegetable distribution, it seems essential to understand the overall picture of the distribution system of the target item and the characteristics of production and distribution of the item behind it. Here, I would like to take up the main item, butterbur, and learn from each other. Of the 9300 tons of butterbur in Japan in 2019, 3630 tons, 39%, seems to be harvested in Aichi prefecture. It is a well-known fact that more than 80% of the butterbur sales of JA Aichi Keizai Ren belong to JA Aichi Chita, and it is the number one Japanese butterbur producing area in Japan. Most of JA Aichi Chita's fruits and vegetables are shipped to the Chukyo area, mainly in Aichi prefecture, but butterbur is the number one producer in Japan, and most of it is shipped to the Tokyo metropolitan area and Kinki area, and is shipped over a wide area. Seems to be. It seems that there are two types of cropping, one is seasonal extension and the other is forcible cultivation. It seems that the shipping time for seasonal cultivation is from October to January, and the shipping time for forcing cultivation is from February to May. The number of butterbur producers in 2019 was 61, a decrease of 46% compared to 2008. It seems that the cultivated area and the shipping quantity are decreasing as the number of producers decreases. The cultivated area in 2019 is 38.7 hectares, a decrease of 46% from 2008, and the shipment volume is 1734 tons, which is a decrease of 59% from 2008. The production of butterbur is labor-intensive, it is difficult to expand the scale of producers, and it seems that the decrease in the number of producers directly leads to the decrease in production. In particular, harvesting and shipping preparation are at the peak of labor, and reducing the labor burden on producers in shipping preparation work seems to be a major issue in maintaining wiping production. There are some sad points when I know the reality, but I would like to continue to introduce the representative products of Japan instead of the farmers who grow them with conviction. It is best to check with JA for details on the flow from harvesting butterbur to shipping preparation, collection, and shipping. It seems that the harvest will be done by about 10 o'clock in the morning. After that, it seems that the shipment will be prepared by taking it back to the producer's workplace. Shipment preparation work is a laborious task, and it seems that large producers are introducing an employment labor force. For shipping preparation, it seems that the stems are first trimmed and the same class is selected. After that, it will be wrapped in plastic wrap for each standard. Employment labor has been introduced in this wrapping work, but it requires skill, and it seems that it is becoming difficult to secure the personnel these days. Therefore, it seems that it is promoting the introduction of bagging (jet pack; Automatic bag opening machine. Or a machine that saves labor in bagging leafy vegetables) as a new packaging method that requires less labor and skill than wrap packaging. It seems that each producer will bring it to the collection point in the morning of the day after the harvest. It seems that the collection time is different for each collection point. The shipping trucks go around multiple collection points to collect the goods, and it seems that the collection time of the trucks at each collection point is adjusted. It seems that the collection time of the Tokai collection point, which has the largest number of butterbur, is 10:50 to 11:15, and the collection time of the “Okada” collection point, which has the second largest number of producers, is 11:30 to 12:00. Furthermore, it seems that the quantity of butterbur brought to the collection point is first checked and inspected by the person in charge of the agricultural cooperative. After inspection, it will be loaded onto the waiting truck. Producers seem to lay their own trucks loaded with butterbur on the designated trucks and transship them directly. It seems that such a loading work method is one of the problems in improving distribution efficiency. First of all, I heard that the truck must wait at the collection point and wait for the producer's truck during the set pickup time because it is loaded directly from the producer's truck. Since butterbur is loaded by producer, not by shipping standard, it is difficult to organize and load by shipping standard, it takes time and effort, and loading efficiency seems to drop. In addition, palletization(A method of loading cargo on a pallet, loading it into a transportation facility as it is, transporting it, and unloading it. A pallet is a “duckboard” -like platform used for the transportation, storage, and transshipment of cargo.)is an issue for improving the efficiency of cargo handling throughout logistics, but it is said that palletization at the collection point stage is difficult. It is desirable to switch to a method in which the butterbur that the producers bring in is once unloaded at the collection point, sorted according to shipping standards, and then loaded onto trucks, but the layout of the collection point has become compatible with palletization. I have heard that it is not easy to implement without redevelopment on the hardware side of the collection point. Some of the trucks that picked up butterbur at the Tokai pick-up point will go to the Okada pick-up point to pick up the butterbur. It seems that the number of butterbur that gathers at the Okada collection point is not large, but it seems that multiple trucks are collecting at Okada because the trucks are sorted by shipping area. It seems that the challenge is to establish a collection base, collect cargo from a collection site with only a small amount of cargo with a single truck, and transship at the collection base according to the shipping area. It seems that there are 29 issues that were taken up by JA Aichi Chita in 2019 at the advance collection point and by item. The contents seem to be summarized in the review of the collection and shipping system and the review and consolidation of sales destinations. Except for reviewing and consolidating sales destinations, it seems to be an issue related to collection from producers. The specific contents seem to be collecting the planned shipment quantity in advance, loading the truck directly into the pallet at the collection point, and adjusting the collection time between items. It seems that systematic efforts from production areas to consumption areas are necessary to improve the efficiency of vegetable distribution. It seems that they are starting with an easy-to-start task for stakeholders and carriers in the production area. Looking at the number of initiatives by initiative, the largest number was the review of the shipping system, with 12 items, followed by the review and consolidation of sales destinations, with 10 issues. On the other hand, it seems that there are only two items related to butterbur in the review of the shipping location. I heard that the items for reviewing the shipping system include grasping the planned shipping quantity in advance and consolidating the shipping days for items with a small shipping quantity. In reviewing and consolidating sales destinations, it seems that the shipping market is being consolidated and the freight system is set according to the shipping destination. In the efforts for fiscal 2019, there are some items for which specific countermeasures have been put into practice, such as reporting the planned shipment quantity of eggplants and cucumbers in advance, and consolidating the collection days of cabbage. It seems that many of them were in the process of being considered for conversion. It seems that there were many related parties such as producers and transporters who had to make adjustments even for items related to the collection and shipping system of the production area. Also, it seems that it is not easy to reach a solution that can reach a general consensus in a short period of time. Even if it is a short-term issue related to the agricultural cooperative level collection and shipping system, it seems that there are many issues that need to be tackled carefully in cooperation with the people involved in the field. JA Aichi Keizai Ren has achieved some results with regard to JA Aichi Chita's efforts in fiscal 2019, but considered that the areas of efforts and transporters were limited, and considered cooperation with the Chita area and Nishi-Mikawa area. Seems to be summarizing the need. On top of that, it seems that the two points of priority efforts in FY2020, transportation cooperation that relaxes the areas and items by existing transportation companies, and implementation of centralized vehicle allocation by collecting information are listed. We have set three goals within the fiscal year: establishing a method that can centrally aggregate shipping information, establishing a collaborative system that relaxes the existing areas of the three jurisdiction transportation companies, creating a mechanism that enables collaborative transportation, and establishing rules. It seems that he was doing it. In vegetable distribution, the starting point is the producer, the ending point is the actual consumer or the consumer, and optimization from the starting point to the ending point is an issue. Even if efficiency can be achieved in one part of the logistics process, if it increases the burden on other parts, it is possible that the efficiency of logistics as a whole has not progressed. Moreover, even if the logistics as a whole are optimized, the effects may not be evenly distributed to all parties concerned, and it seems that there may be an imbalance in the distribution of benefits and burdens. If left unchecked, it seems difficult for the system to be widely accepted. I have always heard that optimizing logistics as a whole and adjusting and optimizing the benefits and burdens among the parties involved in logistics are also important issues in improving the efficiency of fruit and vegetable logistics. JA Aichi Keizairen's challenges in optimizing the distribution of fruits and vegetables seem to be wide-ranging, such as proper vehicle allocation based on advance shipping plans, consolidation of collection points, and establishment and utilization of regional distribution bases. Consistent palletization, joint transportation, modal shift, etc. come to mind first in efforts to improve the efficiency of vegetable distribution, but it is known that there are various other issues as well. In addition, in the distribution of fruits and vegetables, the number of producers, which is the starting point, is large, and many of them are small-scale, which is a major feature, which seems to be a factor that makes efficiency improvement difficult. We have heard from everyone that making the flow of goods and information from producers lead to the subsequent improvement of distribution efficiency is the first issue for improving distribution efficiency. For that purpose, the understanding and cooperation of producers are indispensable. At present, the aging and declining number of producers is advancing, and it is certain that producers are also in a difficult situation. Especially in vegetable production, it seems that there are many items in which harvesting and shipping preparation form a large labor peak. In order to improve the efficiency of vegetable distribution, it seems that it is important to reduce the burden of shipping preparation for producers in order to gain their understanding and cooperation. In the past, in order to improve the efficiency of vegetable distribution, it seems that issues and countermeasures were often considered with a large-scale single-item production area in a remote area in mind. Improving distribution efficiency is an unavoidable issue not only in remote production areas but also in intermediate and suburban production areas, but it seems that the issues faced and countermeasures differ depending on the actual conditions of the production areas. Even in Aichi Prefecture, there is a big difference between the nationwide production areas of cabbage and broccoli in the Higashi Mikawa area and JA Aichi Chita, and I hear that it is difficult to improve distribution efficiency with uniform measures. Furthermore, I would like to move on. JA Aichi Chita (Agris) has established the “Agricultural and Livestock Product Safety and Security Measures Headquarters” to respond to consumers' preference for safety and security for agricultural and livestock products. Carry out daily work. It seems that they are working together with the producers on safety. It seems that it has created cultivation standards for agricultural and livestock products sold through JA and agricultural and livestock products handled at JA direct sales offices, and requires all producers to keep a production diary. It is said that the person in charge is instructing and inspecting the sowing time, the type of pesticide, the time and frequency of spraying, the establishment of traceability (tracking of production history), and so on. In addition, for agricultural products, we are also working to supply safe agricultural and livestock products by planning, practicing, inspecting, and reviewing agricultural work, and to introduce agricultural production process management (GAP) methods that lead to cost reduction and quality improvement. It seems that he is pouring. JA Aichi Chita Food Safety Analysis Center is conducting self-inspection mainly by immunoassay (simple analysis), strengthening cooperation with Keizairen ASC, and conducting pesticide residue inspection quickly and surely. This test mainly targets more than 50 types of co-selected co-sold items such as butterbur, onions, cabbage, figs, and oranges shipped to the market, and agricultural products sold at JA's direct production stores, and about 500 samples are tested annually. It seems that it has been done. The inspection method seems to be to randomly take samples from the field just before harvesting for each item and inspect for residual pesticides. In the unlikely event that an analysis value that exceeds the standard is obtained, it is said that the cultivation history of the relevant agricultural product will be confirmed, shipping and distribution will be stopped, and recovery measures will be taken. Furthermore, it seems that the cause will be investigated and investigated including the related producers. I heard that the results will be reported to the relevant organizations. JA Aichi Chita is also actively working on the specially cultivated agricultural product “Ikiiki Aichi” certified by JA Aichi Keizairen as an agricultural product that reduces pesticides and chemical fertilizers (nitrogen components) subject to reduction by 50% or more from the local conventional cultivation standards. It seems that it is. I've heard that cabbage, leaf lettuce, cucumber, mandarin orange, and kiwifruit are currently certified. In addition, it is said that it supports eco-friendly agriculture by collecting used horticultural vinyl and pesticides that are no longer needed by changing the production crops and properly treating them through specialists. Now, I would like to introduce the area where the producer lives, though it is simple. Located in the northwestern part of the Chita Peninsula. It faces Ise Bay in the west and has a coastline of about 15 km, bordering Tokai City in the north, Higashiura Town and Agui Town in the east, and Tokoname City in the south. The terrain is flat on average, but it seems to be a hilly area from 30 m to 65 m from the central to the eastern part of the city. The climate is mild throughout the four seasons, and the coastal industrial areas and residential areas are separated by blessed greenery. It seems that the land is easy to live in. The city was born in 1970. There are coastal industrial areas such as power plants and refineries along the coast, and inland areas such as Pekoros and butterbur seem to have developed as a thriving agricultural city.  In addition, it seems that there are many tourist assets such as the plum grove of Souri Pond and Shinmaiko Marine Park at the beach, and many cultural assets such as the oldest Okada post office in the prefecture. There are coastal industrial areas such as power plants and refineries along the coast, and inland areas such as Allium cepa “pekorosu”
and Japanese butterbur seem to have developed as a thriving agricultural city. In addition, it is famous as a town with many tourist assets such as the plum grove of Sori Pond and Shinmaiko Marine Park at the beach, and cultural assets such as the prefecture's oldest Okada Post Office. I heard that people began to live in the city area in the forked area of ​​Shinchi, about 8,000 years ago, in the early Jomon period. It seems that Morinishi shell mound, Ogusa north shell mound, and Ogusa south shell mound are known as the ruins following the bifurcated shell mound. In the Yayoi period, farming rice cultivation began in addition to primitive collection, fishing, and hunting, and it seems that the pottery has changed to a neat shape. From the middle of the Kofun period, salt production became popular in various parts of the coast, and it seems that it was eventually sent to the capital of Nara as a tribute. An old roof tile from the Hakuho period was discovered at Hokaiji Temple in Hachiman, and it seems that it now conveys the remnants of an ancient temple. In addition, the city area is part of Japan's largest group of Chita ancient kilns that prospered from the end of the Heian period to the Kamakura and Muromachi periods, and many ancient kilns are said to be distributed. In the Edo period, the heights of 16 villages were set, and it seems that life has become stable due to the construction of reservoirs and the development of newly reclaimed rice fields. However, the area of ​​cultivated land did not increase compared to the increase in population, and it seems that people went to work with skills they learned such as making black hoe and roof tiles, blacksmithing, and manzai. In the latter half of the Edo period, people's demands for education increased, and it seems that a private elementary school was held in every village. The village seems to have begun to change with the civilization and enlightenment of the Meiji era. In particular, Okada Village, which has been steadily developing as a production area for Chita cotton, seems to have adopted the first town system in the Chita city area in 1903. Even in the Taisho and Showa eras, agriculture, fishing, and textile industries were the main industries, but I heard that the form of the town has changed significantly due to the reclamation of the coastal area that began in October 1962 and the accompanying expansion of companies. The city system was enforced in September 1970, and as the surrounding cities of Nagoya City, which is now the center of the central region, thermal power generation, oil refining, and city gas supply to the south 3 wards and south 4 wards of the southern coastal industrial area of ​​Nagoya. , Shipbuilding, grocery, and feed manufacturing companies are said to be operating. JA Aichi Chita held the “2021 5th Jumbo Pumpkin Contest”, and Mr. Toshinobu Takeuchi (Mr. Takenori's father) from Chita City won the championship at 75.0 kg. He seems to have won the championship for the second time in a row following last year's 4th tournament. It seems that 89 people participated in the contest. The top three contestants were given a certificate and a trophy with a pumpkin decoration, and the top ten were given oranges and Chita beef curry as supplementary prizes. The contest seems to aim to help people understand the importance of agriculture and food on the Chita Peninsula through the cultivation of jumbo pumpkins. By setting up a place to display the pumpkins that have been applied for, it is said that it will help to interact with local residents, support agriculture on the Chita Peninsula, and revitalize the region. The jumbo pumpkins that entered the contest were on display at JA Aguri Town Genki no Sato Fureai Square until September 12. I think there are many people who are interested, so I would like to mention the details of last year. On September 19, 2020, it seems that the award ceremony for the general “jumbo pumpkin” contest was held at JA Aguri Town Genki no Sato in Obu City. Mr. Toshinobu Takeuchi of Chita City won the contest with 77.5 km. JA Aichi Chita seems to have been holding a jumbo pumpkin contest for elementary schools in the jurisdiction for four years as part of its food and agriculture education activities. Since last year, a new “general section” for union members has been added, and a two-part contest has been held. 73 people participated in the general section. It seems that the top three players in the contest were given a certificate, a trophy with a pumpkin decoration, and agricultural products such as oranges and pears as a supplementary prize. In the elementary school section, 12 elementary schools in the jurisdiction participate. Ogawa Elementary School in Higashiura Town won the championship at 48.7 km. It was around August 2014, but it seems that the flowers of Agave americana bloomed from the end of July on the bank of the mandarin orange field. The flower stalk that stretches to about 7 m stands out even from a distance, and it seems that people on the road are looking up. This flower grows slowly, and it is said that it takes 30 to 50 years for the flower to bloom in Japan. It seems that the plant that bloomed this time was inherited from an acquaintance when Mr. Takeuchi was 10 years old and was planted in his garden and transplanted to the bank of the field where the land readjustment was completed about 15 years ago. Currently, the stock seems to be spreading in a corner of the bank. In 2012, the flower stalk grew from one plant and bloomed, but it seems that it collapsed before it bloomed. This year, it seems that the flower stalks, which began to grow around May, are supported by stanchions to prepare for flowering. It starts to bloom from the bottom and the flowers are likely to be visible until mid-August. Mr. Toshinobu said at the time, “It's a rare flower, so I want a lot of people to see it.” Let's move on. Japanese butterbur is a perennial plant of the Asteraceae family that is distributed nationwide from Hokkaido to Okinawa. One of the few vegetables native to Japan. It is said that it has been cultivated since the Heian period, and it is a famous story that butterbur is used for food and young shoots of butterbur are used for medicinal purposes. It is said that there are about 200 varieties including wild species, but about 70% of the varieties currently in circulation are “Wase Aichi Fuki”. This butterbur seems to have been discovered in the area of ​​Tokai City, Aichi Prefecture, during the Meiji era. It seems that it spread to the surrounding area in a short time after the local village headman succeeded in self-cultivation. In addition, the irrigation canals constructed in the 1955s seemed to have boosted their widespread use. Since then, the Chita Peninsula seems to have become a major producer of Wase Aichi butterbur. I hear that the shipment volume of JA Aichi Chita butterbur, which controls farmers on the Chita Peninsula, accounts for about 40% of the national share, and that Tokai City and Chita City are responsible for most of the production. Currently, it is mainly cultivated in greenhouses and can be harvested from autumn to spring. It seems that if you plant a root stock that has been frozen and stored during the summer around August, it will germinate because you mistakenly think that spring has come. I've heard that this will allow harvesting from around October. If the greenhouse is kept warm, it will not be affected by the cold of winter, so it will be possible to continue harvesting until spring. It seems that those harvested from October to January of the following year are distinguished from “autumn butterbur” and those harvested from February to May are distinguished from “spring butterbur”. Spring butterbur is fragrant and seems to be close to the seasonal taste of outdoor cultivation. Toshinobu Takeuchi, who has a 50-year career as a butterbur farmer, is also the chairman of the butterbur department of the Spring Vegetables Department of the Chita Horticulture Promotion Council, which is made up of producers from the Chita Peninsula. He set up 35 greenhouses and worked hard with his son Takenori to grow butterbur. In March, when shipments peak, it is said that the days of harvesting will continue. According to his father, he has been busy all year round since he was able to harvest spring and autumn butterbur. It seems that he also cultivated mandarin oranges and rice for several years after he took over the family business. However, the liberalization of agricultural imports has progressed since the 1970s, and he seems to have decided to do it with a single wipe. His son wraps his mowed butterbur in Zizania latifolia (rather than knitting straw) to ripen his role. Originally, it was used as a frost shield for butterbur, but now it is used as a cushioning material when it is no longer needed. The harvested butterbur is brought to the workshop attached to the house. Here, sorting is performed according to the size standard. Takenori will sort by the familiar hand, such as L size if it is 1,000 mm or more, 2L size if it is 1150 mm or more. It is said that they are trying to make the sorting and packing work after harvesting more efficient. The sorted butterbur is wrapped in wrap and packed in cardboard. The butterbur is easy to break, and if it gets scratched, it won't be for sale. Therefore, it seems that the whole process from harvesting to sorting and packing is done carefully by hand. It seems that more than 100 boxes of cardboard containing 4 kg of butterbur may be shipped a day. As mentioned above, even though it boasts such a large amount of butterbur, the overall decrease is due to changes in the Japanese diet. It seems that one of the factors is that the number of butterbur is decreasing on the dining table of ordinary households. Mr. Toshinobu said that the song of the Lunch box also appeared in the lyrics of the nursery rhyme. It seems that he answered with a laugh that it used to be such a familiar vegetable.

The effect of fuquinolide (flavor component) is to promote digestive juices, so it activates and improves gastrointestinal function. If you infuse the butterbur and drink it, it seems to have the effect of helping the respiratory system, such as calming the cough. Squeezed juice can also be expected to have a hemostatic effect. Furthermore, it is well known that it has an intestinal regulating effect.

“Wase Aichi” is fragrant, fresh and pale green, with fast leaf growth, thick stems, and eye-opening.
The Chita Peninsula is a peninsula that protrudes south from Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, in the central region of Japan. The Chita area consists of a peninsula protruding south from the south of Nagoya City and islands such as Shinojima and Himakajima. It is surrounded by Ise Bay and Mikawa Bay, and has a mild climate, with a normal temperature of around 15 degrees Celsius and normal rainfall. The amount is around 1,500 mm.

The Mr. Takenori family considers it important to keep the water drained while keeping it well drained. Straw is laid on the roots to retain water, and the house is opened and closed so that it does not get stuffy. Throughout the year, work such as soil preparation, staggered planting, vinyl covering and shading will continue according to the cropping type and climate. The planting work in the summer seems to be the most difficult, but by replanting the plants every year, it is said that high quality is stabilized and the outbreak of diseases is suppressed.
