FGAP (Fukushima Good Agricultural Practice) has the same basic items as other third-party certified GAPs, and it seems that it is characterized by newly stipulating measures against radioactive substances in detail. In addition, it seems that the subsidy project is providing support such as reducing the burden of certification acquisition costs (examination costs, analysis costs for residual pesticides and water quality, costs for utilizing private consultants, etc.). It is said that the number of certified GAPs acquired, which was 10 at the end of 2016 before the start of certification GAP efforts in Fukushima Prefecture, has increased to 151 as of the end of March 2019. In addition to farmers, 10 agricultural high schools and 11 prefectural agricultural junior colleges have obtained certification, and I hear that they are also promoting the development of agricultural successors such as young people who will lead the next generation. The number of GAP certifications acquired in the prefecture has been steadily increasing due to the efforts of the parties concerned since the declaration in May 2017, but the production volume is still insufficient to meet the demand and GAP in the distribution / consumption stage. It seems that raising awareness is an issue. For this reason, we will further promote efforts by producer groups and organizations such as JA to accelerate the expansion of production volume, and at the same time, we will raise awareness by holding fairs in collaboration with distributors such as mass retailers inside and outside the prefecture. The key is to expand the distribution volume. In addition, as these efforts spread not only in Fukushima but throughout the country, it seems that it is still necessary to create an environment where consumers can come into contact with certified products on a daily basis. Through this initiative, Japan's agriculture will be supported by regaining confidence in the agricultural products produced in Fukushima Prefecture that were lost in the nuclear power plant accident caused by the 3.11 Great East Japan Earthquake, regaining the pride of producers through the process of acquiring certification, and evoking further development. I can't stop believing that it will be the cornerstone.

In the Yanagawa Isazawa district of Date City in the eastern part of the basin, the dried persimmon “partially dried Japanese persimmon”, which is a traditional specialty of this area, is produced. Date's “partially dried Japanese persimmon” production began in the middle of the 18th century, and has a history of about 100 years since the establishment of the “sulfur fumigation method” in the Taisho era. However, due to the effects of the nuclear accident caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake, this traditional partially dried Japanese persimmon production was forced to refrain from production for two years for the first time in its long history. In 2013, processing work resumed for the first time in two years. Producers are trying to completely revive Date's “partially dried Japanese persimmon”, maintain and inherit traditional techniques and tastes, and protect the culture and scenery of their hometown. Was formed. In 2016, I heard that production recovered to 75% of what it was before the earthquake. In addition, a new processing facility will be completed, and the council is aiming for a 100% revival. On May 31, 2017, Yanagawa, Date City (formerly the ancestor of the Date clan, Tomomune ruled this region, and since then it has been the residence of the Date clan, but in the early modern period, sericulture flourished and it became the silk moth capital Yanagawa until the early Showa era. It prospered. It seems that the Abukuma River and Hirose River flowing through the town used to be a good sericulture field. It is said that it became “Yanagawa” from the middle of the Edo period.) At “JA Fukushima Mirai, Mirai Hall Labourg” , It seems that a result report meeting was held to report the results of the activities of the council for two years. Among them, a picture book created by the council to convey the culture of the hometown to children is also shown. “Partially dried Japanese persimmon” farmers, such as a shortage of bearers and successor problems, also seem to have sensitive problems that have the same problems as in other regions. However, in Is azawa, children are proud to support adults and make partially dried Japanese persimmon. The persimmons that grow in the blue sky with bright red shadows are a seasonal tradition. It is carefully harvested, peeled one by one, stalked through a string and hung in a hut. It is said that the complete revival of the local area is a wish and dream of children and everyone in the area. The future of passing on traditional tastes and techniques to the next generation is imminent.

【Origin of the name】
Great fruits persimmon and Hachiya are said to have been named because they have been made for a long time in Hachiya Town, Minokamo City, Gifu Prefecture.
【Major features】
In Fukushima Prefecture, dried fruits (partially dried Japanese persimmon, dried persimmon, etc.) made from “persimmon” produced in 2020 produced in Fukushima City, Date City, Koori Town, Date District, and Kunimi Town are processed, shipped, and shipped. It seems that they are requesting refrain from processing so as not to sell it. However, only partially dried Japanese persimmon products that have been confirmed to be safe by the Fukushima Prefecture Partially dried Japanese persimmon Producing Area Promotion Association through non-destructive inspection (tray products and individually wrapped products) can be shipped and sold. Inspected stickers, as shown in the photo below, are affixed to these products. In addition, it seems that the raw persimmons that can be processed in 2 cities and 2 towns are limited to those produced in 2 cities and 2 towns. Therefore, it seems that they are refraining from supplying raw persimmons from other cities, towns and villages and outside the prefecture to 2 cities and 2 towns, and processing raw persimmons from 2 cities and 2 towns from other cities, towns and villages and outside the prefecture. * After the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station of Tokyo Electric Power Co., Ltd., for dried fruits made from “persimmon” such as partially dried Japanese persimmon and dried persimmon, the concentration of radioactive substances in the fruits increases due to the drying process, and the products are manufactured under the Food Sanitation Law. It seems that there is a possibility that it will exceed the standard value of (radioactive cesium 100Bq / kg for general foods). In Fukushima Prefecture, in order to prevent the shipment of products that exceed the standard values, we have been conducting radioactive substance inspections for “raw persimmons” and “partially dried Japanese persimmon” and “dried persimmon” that have been experimentally processed from FY2011. Requested refraining from processing for production areas that may exceed the standard value. In municipalities where self-restraint in processing is requested, only producers who meet the inspection standards for fields and products set by the Association within the processable area specified by the Fukushima Prefecture Partially dried Japanese persimmon Producing Area Promotion Association are partially dried Japanese persimmon. It seems that it can be shipped. “Hachiya persimmon (sour and puckery persimmon)” At the Muromachi Shogunate, it was presented to the shogunate, and during the civilization year, when he was a teenage shogun, Ashikaga Yoshitane, he was donated 10 Koku and was exempted from various roles. Zuirinji Temple (a temple of Rinzai sect Myoshinji school in Hachiya Town in the center of the city, which was built in the latter half of the Muromachi period by Sojo JINSAI with the help of Toki Minonokami Shigeyori, the guardian of Mino Province, in 1745. Also known as “Kaki Temple”, this is when Sojo presented a Dried persimmon called Hachiya, which is a specialty of this region, to the teenage general Yoshitane Ashikaga, in addition to the 10 stones of the temple territory. It is said that it was given the title of “Kaki Temple”. Since then, the connection between Zuirinji and Hachiya Kaki has been deep, and it was presented to Hideyoshi Toyotomi and Ieyasu Tokugawa, and the temple territory was granted and the villagers were exempted from various roles. According to the history book in the collection, when I presented the branch persimmon to Ieyasu who was in Sumamata during the battle of Sekigahara, I was pleased to get Ogaki. There seems to be an anecdote that it is. During the Edo period, Hachiya Village was designated as a candy store, and Hachiya persimmons were presented to the shogunate, and in exchange for that, various roles were exempted. The Kanbun year was the peak of production, and about 100,000 pieces were produced annually. Hachiya persimmon is known all over the country as a specialty of Mino, and seems to have been introduced in various travelogues and drawings during the Edo period. It seems that it was highly evaluated overseas, such as being exhibited at the 1900 Paris World Exposition and the 1904 St. Louis World Exposition and receiving awards. Keisuke Ito (Japan's first doctor of science, Honzogaku scholar and Dutch scholar from the end of the Edo period to the Meiji era. His position is a baron. (The Shogunate collapsed in 1868 immediately after returning from Paris, and Kaiseijo (school of foreign studies set up by the shogunate during the Edo period), to which Tanaka belonged, was requisitioned by the Meiji government. He was hired and sent to Osaka for his first job. He was tasked with preparing to open a chemical science bureau (institute of physics and chemistry, school) here, which he now says until the 1874s. It is also introduced in “Useful plants Illustrated”, etc., which proposes the establishment of social education facilities (museums, flora and fauna, libraries) and the implementation of domestic business expositions. Production decreased during and shortly after the war, but production was revived due to local enthusiasm, and now the “Minokamo City Dojo Hachiya Persimmon Promotion Association” has inherited the tradition and the registered trademark “Dojo Hachiya Persimmon” area. It seems to be sold as a brand. In March 2007, the Slow Food Association, headquartered in Italy (Summary: A global grassroots movement to improve our food and the systems that surround it, beginning to lose its native agricultural products and culture. , An international organization that started in Italy in 1989 and is now widespread in more than 160 countries, worried about the rise of fast life and fast food, and the diminished interest in food. It seems that it has various projects with food in the middle under the slogan “To enjoy it”. Slow Food Japan (Ginza, Chuo Ward, Tokyo, 10th floor, Ginza Environmental Initiative) Was established in March 2016 as a domestic operating organization officially approved by the Slow Food International Headquarters. It has branches for grassroots activities in various parts of Japan, and internationalizes and revitalizes the organization in collaboration with industry, government, academia and the private sector. It is said that) is certified as a “Ark of flavor”, which is also called a world heritage of food. Fukushima Mirai jurisdiction : The area within the jurisdiction occupies 19% of the entire prefecture. Approximately four years ago, in 2018, the cultivation area was 57 ha, production volume, 10,488 t, of which JGAP (“(J) GAP (certified farm): Japan Good Agricultural Practice” means food safety and environmental conservation. This is a necessary production process management initiative to ensure occupational safety (agriculture in general). Sustainable agricultural management for the future as well for environmental protection sustainable. We should ensure that natural resources are managed properly in order to make agricultural development-Ministry of Economy,Trade and Industry-Support was provided for initiatives to secure the trust of consumers and stimulate domestic markets by such means as improving the quality control of food products through the introduction of HACCP practices and adoption of ordinary hygiene control in the food industry, rigorous compliance, and voluntary labeling of places of origin of ingredients in accordance with guidelines. HACCP; 危害分析重要管理点: Support will be provided to small and medium food manufacturers, etc., by organizing human resource development workshops and providing technical information in order to further promote the improvement of control of food manufacturing processes (through hazard analysis and critical control point (HAACP)procedures).

The Abukuma River(Basin area 5,390 km2 Water source elevation 1,835 m Extension 239 km(Afukuma : Ohkuma)Neuroptera Linnaeus(Carl von Linné), 1758: Nemopteridae mass generation)runs north-south through the central area in the northern part of the prefecture, and a basin extends in that basin. In addition to forming one of the nation's leading fruit tree areas such as peaches, apples, and pears, many tourist resources such as hot springs are available in the jurisdiction. Since the Soma area is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and the Abukuma Highlands, the climate is warm and I visited once. It's a wonderful area, and the scenery revives in my mind. The surface is the texture of dried persimmon. The contents are half-lived, and the trolley texture is popular, just like jelly. It is called “Amaboshi persimmon” because the peeled persimmon is dried in the sun, and it is said that it became the current name in the Meiji era. Harvesting begins around the beginning of November, and the natural sweetness is brought out to completeness by naturally drying in the persimmon drying area. “Date City” : It is said that people began to live in the city during the Paleolithic period. In the Nara and Heian Period, a station house will be set up on the Tosan road(Starting from Seta station in Oumi province, passing through Mino, Shinano, Kouzuke, Shimousa, Michinoku province: (Reference is made to the Engishiki (an ancient book of codes and procedures on national rites and prayers.))and a county house will be placed.1189 at the end of the Heian period; Mr. Nakamura Hitachi Nyudo Nensai(The first Soke,Tomomune Date-Ko), I heard that he followed Minamoto no Yoritomo's attack on Oshu. In 1189, the Oshu-Fujiwara(Northern Fujiwara)clan in Mutsu Province was subjugated. FUJIWARA no Yasuhira lost and was killed; the Oshu-Fujiwara clan came to an end.Yoritomo gained a great victory and the Oshu-Fujiwara clan was destroyed. The first generation was given Shinobu District and Date-gun by military service, and was appointed to the Jito(estate steward), and came to dominate this region.1337 during the Nanboku-cho period, Northern and Southern dynasties, Southern and Northern Dynasties (Vietnam)(Northern and Southern Dynasties): Akiie Kitabatake-Ko of the Southern Court is dedicated to Emperor Go-Daigo's prince Yoshiyoshi (later Emperor Go-Murakami(Emperor Gomurakami (1328 - April 6, 1368) was the 97th emperor in the period of the Northern and Southern Courts (in Japan) and the second emperor of the Southern Court. (He reigned from September 26, 1339 until April 6, 1368). The Mutsu Shogunfu (local government of Mutsu) was established in the early Northern and Southern Courts period when Emperor Go-Daigo dispatched his son - Imperial Prince Norinaga (who later became Emperor Go-Murakami), Mutsu no kami (the governor of Mutsu Province) Akiie KITABATAKE and others to Taga Castle which served as the provincial office of Mutsu province. In the next year, 1334, in accordance with an order from Imperial Prince Norinaga (the son of Emperor Godaigo; later to be known as Emperor Gomurakami), he went to Tagajo Castle (Tagajo City, Miyagi Prefecture) in Mutsu Province with his father and began management of the Tohoku Region. In December of 1336, which was earlier than the departure of the Emperor Gomurakami from the capital in 1336, the Emperor Godaigo escaped from Kazan-in in Kyoto and reached Anafu, but since there was no place suitable for the Imperial Palace, he went to Yoshino. This originates from the fact that a statue of Masashige Kusunoki carved by Emperor Godaigo himself was enshrined there in 1337, and later, Emperor Gomurakami gave the shrine the name 'the deity of Nagijinja Shrine'. He challenged the Hosokawa clan to a fight in Yamashiro Yawata (Yawata City, Kyoto Prefecture) in 1338 and in Iyo Province in 1340 assisting Yoshisuke WAKIYA on the order of Emperor Gomurakami. However, before he was able to rally from that inferior position, he fell ill and after abdicating the throne to the Prince Noriyoshi (later Emperor Go-Murakami) on August 15, 1339, died at Konrin Temple the next day, leaving as his last will the defeat of his imperial enemy and the recapture of Kyoto. Emperor Go-Murakami, who resided in Sumiyoshi Angu, held a large memorial service for Emperor Go-Daigo at Shogonjodo Temple, the family temple of the Tsumori Family whose members had served as chief priests of the Sumiyoshi Grand Shrine, the family shrine of the Southern Court. etc.)). The Kokufu of Mutsu was moved from Taga castle centering on Mt. Ryozen(825 m), and a royal castle was built here, albeit temporarily. Mr. Date will expand his influence to Oshu based in Date District throughout the Kamakura and Muromachi periods. In 1523, the 14th Tanemune-Ko was appointed as the guardian of Mutsu. He built the most powerful force in Oshu and tried to reign. Harumune-Ko, the 15th generation of 1548: It took about 360 years to move the headquarters to Yonezawa castle; He ruled Shinobu Date based on Date District Kori Town(Yanagawa castle, Nishiyama castle). At the end of the Warring States period, Date District went through Mr. Ujisato Gamou after Oushu's punishment by Hideyoshi-Ko. From 1598, it will be controlled by Mr. Uesugi Kagekatsu. For about 300 years before entering the Tokugawa Shogunate feudal clan system(A political form of the Edo Period of Japan called a “system under the Shogunate”)and reaching Meiji, the change of lords was fierce, and it was divided into the territory under the direct control of the Shogunate (Tenryo) and the Daimyo territory. Abukuma River boat transport (eastbound route) developed to carry oshiromai to Edo around 1671. In the middle of the Edo period, it was used for the transportation of silkworm seeds, raw silk, and textiles, and showed prosperity in commerce(Sericulture tools of Date region: 2,530 items (Date City, Fukushima Prefecture) registration date: March 13, 2008-Registration tangible cultural properties.). After a while, in 1869, Fukushima Prefecture was established by annexing the three counties of Shinobu, Date, and Adachi. The prefectural office was set up in Fukushima by the abolished feudal clan(Abolition of the han system), and the current development of Fukushima City and Date City was built. Merger due to the implementation of the “Municipal System” in 1889 (Meiji 22): April 1, 1889: The act of the City, town, and village was carried out. Promulgation of merger of towns and villages promotion law(Act, No. 258 (S 28/9/1 : Actively optimize the scale so as to improve the welfare of the residents.)in 1953 after the war. Along with Fukushima City, which expanded the city area, commerce, agriculture and forestry developed around the sericulture industry. “Date Shoto Seiji-ko”, ”Kansei Choshu Shokafu”, ”Eiroku Date genealogy“, “Fukushima Prefecture magazine” and “Fukushima City magazine”. Located in the northern part of Prefecture, adjacent to the northeast of Fukushima City, the capital of the prefecture. In the Fukushima Basin where you can see the Abukuma mountain range Ryozen(Early August : Ryozen Japanese Drum Festival (Date City, Fukushima Prefecture.)in the east, the Azuma mountain range in the west, and the mountains on the border of Miyagi prefecture in the north. In the southern and eastern parts of the city, the Abukuma Highlands of about 500 to 800 m extend from north to south. The family name, DATE, was derived from the county name “Date” in Mutsu Province (present-day, the northern area of Nakadori, Fukushima Prefecture [specifically, the area covers Date City of Date County plus a part of Fukushima City]), but the county was originally called “Idate” or “Idachi” in ancient times and changed to Idate in the Medieval Period. Of the total area of ​​265.1 km2, forests account for 38.4% of the total land use of 101.782 km2, which is the largest. Agricultural land is 70.607 km2, accounting for 26.6%, and forests and farmland account for 65% of the total Date City.

The north borders Shiroishi City, Miyagi Prefecture.In a town blessed with fertile land in the Shintatsu Basin. The main industry is agriculture, where rice and fruit trees (peaches, apples, persimmons, cherries, etc.), livestock, and vegetables are actively produced. MINAMOTO no Yoshitsune (Ushiwaka maru, Shanao) : It is said that he helped MINAMOTO no Yoshitsune who was going down to Oshu Hiraizumi (Mutsu Province), seeking refuge with the Oshu Fujiwara clan.1189 - Yoritomo defeated MINAMOTO no Yoshitsune and the Oshu Fujiwara clan who harbored Yoshitsune (eliminated rival samurai forces by mobilizing samurai throughout the nation). It depicts an anecdote that MINAMOTO no Yoshitsune and his servants were stopped at the Ataka barrier station by a barrier keeper on the way they fled to the Oshu area, and Benkei read out a false kanjincho (a prospectus to gather donation for establishing a temple), which led them to get away from the situation. There are many theories about in what year the Kamakura period truly began, of which the 1192 theory, the year MINAMOTO no Yoritomo was made Shogun (Seii taishogun (literally, “great general who subdues the barbarians”)), is the orthodox view, but in addition, theories include : the 1180 theory, focusing on Yoritomo raising his army and leading his gokenin (lower-ranking warrior vassals) into battle to destroy the Taira clan, and also establishing the Samurai Dokoro (Board of Retainers, which oversaw rewards for service); the 1183 theory, in which the key moment is the official recognition of the shogunate's right to control Eastern Japan (everything along the Tokaido and Tosando highways) proclaimed by the imperial court in the tenth month; the 1185 theory, which focuses on Yoritomo's use of his struggle to destroy his younger brother MINAMOTO no Yoshitsune as a pretext to usurp the right to appoint and control the offices of shugo (provincial governor) and jito (estate steward); the 1190 theory, in which it was Yoritomo's visit to the capital and subsequent court appointments to Gon-Dainagon (Deputy Major Counselor) and Ukone Taisho (Commander of the Guardsmen of the Right) that is considered the decisive moment; and a handful even believe it wasn't until 1196 that the Kamakura period truly began.

Using traditional techniques that have been passed down from generation to generation since 1922, the astringent persimmons are peeled and dried more slowly than usual after sulfuration. The product is a beautiful orange product with a distinctive tan color, and the unique texture and texture that is moist on the outside and chewy on the inside fascinates others.

Here, production area Relations; PR. JA Fukushima Mirai has jurisdiction over 12 municipalities in the northern region of Fukushima prefecture and the Soma region, and the area within the jurisdiction occupies 19% of the total area of ​​Fukushima prefecture. It seems that four JAs merged into a wide area JA in 2016. It is a large production area where many items such as rice, fruit trees and vegetables are cultivated. Typical vegetables are mainly strawberries, cucumbers and tomatoes. Cucumber production, which is one of the main items of the JA, is cultivated mainly in the open field, using rain shelter cultivation and controlled cultivation, and by combining several cropping types, it can be used for a long period from February to November. 
In recent years, while the price of raw persimmons has been sluggish, dried persimmons are in high demand as natural foods and are expected to have high added value. However, with the conventional manufacturing method, it takes about 30 days for dried persimmon and about 20 days for partially dried Japanese persimmon, and it seems that the quality of the product depends on the weather. Since the concentration of radioactive cesium is affected by the gardens and trees from which the raw persimmons are collected and the dryness of the products, in order to produce safe partially dried Japanese persimmon, shipments according to the field conditions where the raw persimmons are collected are shipped. It needs control and seems to need to meet strict standards.
JA Fukushima Mirai is promoting the acquisition of JGAP in order to dispel concerns about agricultural products produced in Fukushima after the nuclear accident. Even now, about 11 years after the natural disaster and the earthquake, we are still conducting radioactive material inspections before shipping to ensure safety and security. The acquisition of JGAP is likely to be a factor that enhances not only shipments but also safety and security in the production process all over the world.

Partially dried Japanese persimmon(Superior Excellent)with a honey-like taste brought up by the midwinter sun and wind. It has a tradition and history of more than 1000 years, and it is surprising that it was presented to successive shoguns of the Tokugawa Shogunate. Its taste is born from the technique of deep sweetness and moist texture.
