Before the Takaoka Township in Takaoka Town, Miyazaki City was established, Kutsuramyo (located on a hill northeast of the former center of Takaoka Town, and although the remains have been destroyed, there are six large quarter groups such as the inner citadel and the outer citadel). Structure. Also, it seems that it was called “Uchiyama Castle” when it was the 48 castles of Ito of Ito Hyuga. At the end of 1577, when the lord of the castle, Nomura, rebelled against the Ito clan, the Shimazu clan seized control of the area. 1600 Sekigahara After the battle, Yoshihiro, the head of the Shimazu clan, emphasized the defense of the eastern edge of the controlled area. It is thought that it was called by the name of Iida in the sense that it was a place where rice was harvested well. In fact, it is considered to be an important area for Kutsuramyo because it is an area with good rice fields. “Meals” is called “ii”, which means rice.

In the summer of 2023, a tea production organization in Takaoka Town, Miyazaki City presented kindergarteners with fresh tea so that they could enjoy the taste of tea from their hometown of Takaoka. The gift of fresh tea was given by the Takaoka Town Green Tea Industry Promotion Association, and the chairman of the association visited the Miyazaki City Takaoka General Branch and handed out the fresh tea to the children at Takaoka Chuo Nursery School. Eight farmers are currently producing tea on a combined 33.5 hectares of land, and the new tea they received will be served at mealtimes in the future.

【Major features】

Nagaya-mon Gate of the Ichiki Family: After the Battle of Sekigahara, Takaoka seems to have ruled by immigrating samurai from various parts of the Shimazu territory. In the Shimazu clan, it seems that the place where the samurai lived was called “Foot”. Takaoka foot, Mukasa foot, etc. still remain. The samurai gates at the foot of Takaoka Township are Nagaya-mon, Guanyin gate opening, and sliding door gate. Nagaya-mon has rooms on either side or one side of the gate. In Takaoka Town, this Ichiki Family Nagaya Gate is the only remaining gate, and it seems to have been designated as a tangible cultural property of the city. The date of construction is unknown, but it is believed to have been rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1858. The Ichiki family row house gate is an early form in which the height of the gate and row house ridges are different, and it seems to be valuable even today. The Ichiki family prospered as a martial arts family, with the 6th generation Zensuke becoming an instructor of the Shibukawa school of jujutsu in 1725, and the 12th generation Masanori becoming an instructor of the Shinkage school of swordsmanship between 1830 and 1844. Kamikuranaga’s Arithmetic Mound: It is located in the Kamikuranaga Autonomy Community Center and is called the “abacus mound.” 右側には,「明治廿四年二月十五日」(1891年)左には「豊後国竹田産 安藤新左衛門 代授 芳野久市」とあり. 孜々黽勉算學ノ蘊奥ヲ窮ム: It seems that he was able to reach the deepest part of mathematics because he studied diligently and diligently. Names include Soemon Hoshizaki, Ichinosuke Motozaki, Kinshiro Fukumitsu, Chojiro Ogakura, Manjiro Terasako, Kouemon Nagatomo, and Yonekichi Motozaki. This monument is believed to have been erected. Similarly, Shimokura Community Center also has a “Kagozuka”, and it seems that there were many people who studied mathematics in Musa at that time. Shimazu Tadakuni Birth Cedar: Musa Castle appears in historical materials during the period of the Northern and Southern Courts. The Shimazu clan entered the castle in the early 15th century. It seems that it was planted to commemorate the birth of Tadakuni, the ninth head of the Shimazu family, at Musa Castle. “Sangoku Meisho-zu Picture” (A document compiled by the Satsuma Domain in the late Edo period that describes the topography and famous places of the territory including parts of Satsuma Province, Osumi Province, and Hyuga Province. In particular, the history and buildings of shrines and temples First edition published in 1843, all 60 volumes), “This cedar has a circumference of over 3 feet (approximately 9 m), the distance between the two plants is approximately 1 m, and the roots and The trunk and branches are hugely lush, and they stand high, dozens of meters long (one length is about 3 m), and the branches and leaves cover only one step on the side…” is written. Apparently. The original cedar was destroyed in a fire in 1874, and it seems that what was planted around 1887 remains today. Soga Tomb: A five-part gravestone representing earth on the west side of Takaoka Elementary School, where Sukenari SOGA and Goro Tokimune of “Soga Monogatari” were held. It is not known when it was built, but the Soga Tomb in the prefecture says it was 1400 years old, so it seems that it was built when Takaoka was Ito territory. It is said that there used to be more than 60 Soga Memorial Graves in the prefecture, but now it seems that they remain in two cities and four towns. The Soga brothers killed Suketsune Kudo at the foot of Mt. Fuji for his father’s death, and he seems to be the ancestor of Mr. Ito Hyuga. The Ito clan was killed by the Soga brothers, but they are also related by blood, so it seems that the shrine was dedicated to appease the brother’s grudges. Takaoka Area Cultural Heritage (within the jurisdiction of the Takaoka Area Autonomous Region): The Takaoka area is a flatland-mountain castle located in Oyamada, Takaoka Town, Miyazaki City, Miyazaki Prefecture, which was part of Shimadzu-so in the medieval period. It is one of the three high castles of Hyuga, also known as Musa-in Takajo, and is designated as a national historic site. In the period of the Northern and Southern Courts, it seems that it was built as a territory under the direct control of Takauji Ashikaga, and Tadaaki Hatakeyama, a family member, served as Musa. Once dispatched to the castle, it becomes a base. Tadaaki, who went down to Hyuga, first took control of the Tsuchimochi and Kusakabe clans of Kunitomiso, and in 1338, he captured Sukehiro Ito and Moritada Nobe. In the following year, Kaneshige Kimotsuki, who was based in Gassan Hiwa Castle (Mimata-in Takajo), who was the most powerful, was subjugated and subjugated Hyuga. Hatakeyama entered Gassan Hiwa Castle and became Hyuga protection in 1345. In 1357, when they attacked Shibushi Castle, they were not only defeated by Ujihisa Shimazu (1328-1387: first head of the Oshu family, sixth head of the Shimazu family), but also the Southern Court. It is said that Takemitsu Kikuchi, who welcomed Imperial Prince Kanenaga, the son of Emperor Godaigo, attacked Musa Castle in November 1358, and Tadaaki Hatakeyama escaped from Hyuga to Bungo. Unknown), it prospered in the early modern period as a samurai settlement at the foot of the Satsuma domain, and it seems that various historical and natural cultural heritages were created in the rich nature. Takaoka is one of the outer castles founded by Yoshihiro Shimazu on his way back from the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600. Since then, a samurai community has formed at the foot of Amaga Castle. On the other hand, Musa is the area where the government office of Musa-in Temple is located and has become a base of politics and economy in the vicinity. embroiled in war. During the Edo period, it prospered as one of the outer castles of the Satsuma clan, and even now it seems that the remnants of a samurai residence remain. In Sakigawa, a checking station was set up as a key point on the highway of the Satsuma clan, and many cultural heritages such as the ruins of the checkpoint and the residence of the Futami family, who served as a staple of the checkpoint, remain. Wamyo Ruijusho-It is said that there was Emperor Jimmu’s imperial palace, and there are many folklore about the Emperor. There was a shrine called “Emperor Jimmu Shrine(The predecessor of MIYAZAKI Jingu Shrine)” for a long time-Imagine the origin of Miyazaki Prefecture. “Hyuga country” of the ancient Ritsuryo nation: It is believed to have been established between 684(Emperor Tenmu, Hakuho Earthquake: Estimated to be a huge earthquake along the Nankai Trough)and 696(Empress Jito)AD. Satsuma became independent from Hyuga in 702-Taiho Code, envoy to Tang. Furthermore, on April 3, 713, Osumi was separated. A country area close to the current MIYAZAKI area has been confirmed: Except for a part of the south. “Jinno-shotoki” – History book by Sir Chikafusa Kitabatake “Miyazaki Prefecture”, Located in the southeastern part of Kyushu, in a mountainous prefecture where mountains occupy about 75% of the prefecture’s land. The eastern edge faces Hyuga-Nada (Pacific Ocean) with a total length of 400 km. With an area of 70.2 km east-west, 160 km north-south, and a total area of 7,734.18 km2, it is the 13th largest in Japan except Hokkaido. The landform consists of mountains including Volcanic areas, and low flat plains and Basin that include foothills, plateaus, terraces, and lowlands. The distribution covers all areas except the plains in the eastern part of the central part of the prefecture. It is lined with mountains such as Mt. Sobo (1756 m), Mt. Kunimi (1739 m), and Mt. Ichifusa (1721 m)(With Oita and Kumamoto as the border). The Wanitsuka Mountains are located in the southern part of the prefecture, and the Kirishima volcanic group centered on Mt. Kirishima (1700 m) is located on the border of Kagoshima Prefecture. In the northern and southern coasts of the prefecture, the mountain bodies are submerged in the sea, forming a rias-style submergent coastline. The hills and plateaus surround the Miyazaki Plain and the Kirishima volcanic group to the east of the Kyushu Mountains. Distributed in basin groups such as Kakuto, Kobayashi, and Miyakonojo. It is rocky or gravel, and the upper part is covered with white sand around the volcanic area. Rivers and rainfall erosion are significant, and terraces and dissected valleys have developed, presenting complex topographical conditions. In addition to the basin river valley, lowlands are found near coastal estuaries and in river basins in the plains, forming alluvial lowlands. I hear that straight dune coasts are distributed along the plain coast. The coastline is bordered by Mimitsu, with many bends in the north and straight sandy beaches in the south. It is blessed with an excellent natural environment such as lush mountains and a beautiful coastline, and the area of the natural park is 91,919 hectares, which occupies about 12 % of the prefecture’s land(Designated as a 105-hectare marine park area). Forests are 5,873 km, 75.9 %, arable land is 690 square km, 8.9 %. Roadside landscape beautification ordinance, 1969: Protect excellent natural landscapes, trees and other plants along the road. By planting new flowers and trees, we plan to improve the scenery along the road and promote the beautification of the local area. “沿道自然景観地区(Eighteen districts, total 1,026 ha designated)”, Washingtonia filifera.(ワシントニアパーム), “沿道修景植栽地区(Designated 74 districts, total 168)”, “沿道修景指定樹木(thirty-nine designated in twenty-seven locations)”, Designated, nationwide pioneer. The citizens of the prefecture have endeavored to create and conserve a road environment full of flowers and greens. 景観法(Landscape Act), 2004, June 18, Law No. 110(Act No. 110 of June 18, 2004), Examination of planting arrangement and management method that should be in the future. I hear that the first planting along the road was in 1937. Phoenix was planted along the national highway along the Nichinan coast, and maintenance as a road park began. National Park in Kyushu, Japan called Nippo Seaside National Park, 1955. Promoted the planting of flowers and trees along the road in 1962. Collaboration with citizens of the prefecture: We are working to improve the spirit of making our local road beautiful by ourselves and to foster an attachment to the road. “Kunitomi Town, Higashimorokata District”, Located in the central part of the prefecture, the east is adjacent to ‘Miyazaki City’, the prefecture’s capital. On the north side is Saito City, which is famous for its ancient tombs(Note however that the Haniwa (terra-cotta figurine) standing statue of an armed male currently owned by Tokyo National Museum was excavated from a site in the city of Ota in Gunma Prefecture, while the items excavated from the Higo Eta Funayama Tumulus, also owned by Tokyo National Museum, were excavated from a site in Tamana District in Kumamoto Prefecture, and finally the gilt bronze harness excavated from the ‘HYUGA’ Province Saitobaru Tumulus, now owned by the Gotoh Art Museum, was excavated from Saito City in Miyazaki Prefecture). Aya Town in the same Higashimorokata District on the west and south sides. And a farmland village with an area of 130.63 km2 surrounded by Takaoka Town. It belongs to Miyazaki prefecture in 1873. In 1876, Miyazaki Prefecture was abolished and merged with Kagoshima Prefecture. In 1879, the Morokata District was established as an administrative district by the enforcement in Kagoshima. Belonged to this with the re-establishment of Miyazaki Prefecture in 1883. Honjo and Yatsushiro merged in September 1956 to form a new town. Furthermore, it merged with Kiwaki Village in March 1957. Then, Kunitomi Town was born as the largest town in the prefecture at that time. The origin is Kunitomi Honjo or: It is named after Kamihara-Miyako and Kunitomi-Honjo-Kamihara. The old Honjo Town used to be called Takahiramura or Kunitomimura. Toyokuni-Wakenomikoto has ruled Kunino-Miyatsuko for generations. This area was called Tenryo, and since then it has been under the direct control of the Shogunate(1646 : land directly controlled by Edo bakufu)until Meiji Restoration. Then, the town and village system was enforced in 1902. etc. Since the merger, the townspeople have cooperated.It has a spirit of harmony and cooperation in the blessed nature and climate. And great development in various fields such as education, culture, industry, economy, and environmental improvement. VEGETABLES-Peppers that are produced with all their heart are excellent in both taste and quality. Cucumbers are produced with great care in greenhouses. It receives warm sunlight even in winter and has a wonderful texture. We also produce Radish, Tomato, Green pepper, Shrimp-shaped taro variety, and Early-release bamboo shoots. FRUITS-Fuyu Kaki Persimmon(variety of sweet Japanese persimmon) : The taste and quality are outstanding, and you can fully enjoy the taste of autumn. Toshichika TAMURA: He studied Chinese studies as a child and English studies as a boy. In addition, he trained at Kochi Prefectural Ceramics School. He spent his time as an educator in Kochi and Miyazaki prefectures from 1878 to 1886. 87 species that belonged to Miyazaki Prefecture cultivated during work: Recognized that “Citrus” is excellent, named “Hyuga-Natsumikan(Summer Orange)”. Around 1891, send scions and saplings to Homeland’s father. Instead of Mr. TAMURA, we started growing and cultivating seedlings. In Kochi prefecture, it is often called simply ‘Konatsu Citrus’(It started when it was discovered by chance in a mansion in Miyazaki prefecture in the early 18th century. At that time, it wasn’t eaten with strong acidity, but it seems that it has been widely cultivated since then. The origin of the species is thought to be a mutation of Yuzu, the skin is yellow, and the size is about the same as that of Satsuma mandarin.)The standard Japanese name is “Hyuganatsu Citrus(It is thought to be a mutant of Yuzu found in the garden of Yasutarou Magata in Miyazaki City around 1820 during the Edo period. At the time of discovery, it seems that it was not eaten with strong acidity, but after that, breeding progressed and it became a special product of Miyazaki prefecture, and now it is cultivated in various places.)”. “Mango” has been cultivated in Japan since the Showa era. Shoichi TATE: In 1984, at that time, he instructed farmers to grow as the chief of fruit trees in Japan Agricultural Cooperatives SAITO. I was impressed by the encounter during my visit to Okinawa and brought it to Miyazaki. It wasn’t until the 2000s that domestic production increased. However, it was not easy because pollen is vulnerable to rain. One by one, carefully net and ripen and harvest naturally fallen fruits from the branch. The sweetness and flavor of ‘Ripe Mangoes’ that have taken time and effort are incomparable to imported products. It also has excellent cold resistance and can be cultivated without the need for a greenhouse. Irwin-Variety introduction-Origin: USA, HADEN, Because of its strong peculiar smell, people have different tastes in Japan. A variety that has a strong taste and is popular in Europe and the United States. The pericarp is red, round in shape, and looks like an apple. First called Apple Mango. Lippenss-It is the mother of Irwin and has a higher sugar content than Irwin.It is a variety with few fibers, and the impression is that it is a little small. The color of the pericarp is slightly reddish yellow even when fully ripe. Origin: Hawaii, Rapoza-A variety that is a child of Irwin, and is a little big. The pericarp is red at the top and yellow at the bottom, with white and fine spots throughout. Impression that it is juicy and sweet and has very little fiber. “Irwin” : Cultivated in Florida, USA-Around 1954, to Tainan City, Taiwan. Later, cultivation became popular in Japan as well. The main cultivated area has a warm climate. It turns red like an apple, and the juicy fruits are bright orange. Most of the mangoes cultivated in Japan. Ripeness is required, but this product is almost fully ripe. It is time to eat after the fragrance becomes stronger and you feel the softness in your hands. Therefore, it is better to have some wrinkles on the skin. A citrus fruit found in Miyazaki Prefecture, named “hyuganatsu (species of citrus, Citrus tamurana)” in 1887, it has become a specialty citrus fruit of the prefecture due to its excellent fruit and efficacy. As the name suggests, it is a citrus fruit that is a specialty of Miyazaki prefecture. It seems that it was discovered as chance seedling in Soi, which is adjacent to Jogasaki, Akae Village in the former Miyazaki District (currently Miyazaki City) from 1818 to 1829, which is the end of the Edo period. Production in Miyazaki City (Kiyotake Town / Takaoka Town), Aya Town(Succeeded in revitalizing the town with the slogans of “organic farming town” and “laurel forest city”), and Nichinan City seems to account for about 80% of the total. Unlike other citrus fruits, it is a variety that can be eaten with albedo, and the taste is less sour than grapefruit, and the light and refreshing taste is impressive. It has a strong taste, less acidity, and an elegant taste. It is unusual to eat the fluffy white part of the pericarp with the flesh. There is no bitterness and you can enjoy a unique texture. Many of the Greenhouse cultivated ones do not contain seeds, but the open-field cultivated ones seem to have seeds. It seems that the pollen of tetraploid Amanatsu(Citrus natsudaidai)is manually pollinated during the pollination period in early spring to denuclearize it. Those with no seeds are distributed as seedless, and those with a few remaining seeds are distributed as small nuclei. Miyazaki Prefecture is a representative production area for higanatsu (species of citrus, Citrus tamurana), and excellent agricultural products that have cleared particularly strict standards have few seeds and are easy to eat. Because the white skin has a sweetness, you can feel the slight sweetness in the refreshing taste, and it is very popular.



Hyuganatsu Citrus, which has recently become known nationwide as an excellent citrus fruit from Miyazaki, seems to be a rare variety that is eaten together with the white part between the skin and the flesh. I’ve heard that producers use less pesticides to produce excellent agricultural products that are easy to eat, sweet without adding sugar, and have few seeds. It seems that juicy fruits with a refreshing aroma and flavor are born because they are particular about the soil that is the foundation of fruit trees.



Recognized as a unique citrus fruit that is rare in the world. Its color, pulp, aroma, and taste all seem unique to other citrus fruits. If you eat it by peeling the skin with your fingers, you won’t be able to feel the unique taste. Also, just like peeling an apple, the trick is to thinly peel only the outer peel and eat it with the fluffy albedo. The structure of a mandarin orange consists of the orange outer skin flavedo, the white inner albedo, the central core of the fruit called the core, and the edible part of each cluster, which is the gourd sac. It is made of a thin skin) and sand (fruit pulp).



About 200 to 250 g, about the size of a larger Wenzhou mandarin orange. The color is bright yellow and the skin is smooth. The shape looks like a smaller Buntan Citrus. Outdoor cultivation has seeds, but greenhouse cultivation has almost no seeds. Outdoor plants are exposed to wind and rain as they grow, so they are prone to small scratches on their skin, but this is well-known as proof that they were grown in a natural environment. In addition, there are many cultivars of greenhouse-grown cultivars with harmonized sweetness, making them easier to eat.



Greenhouse cultivation, complete isolation and gibberellin treatment. The resulting aqueous solution residue is adjusted to pH 3 with 6N-HCI, and after partitioning with ethyl acetate, the ethyl acetate phase is partitioned with a phosphate buffer solution. The rice buffer phase is adjusted to pH 3 with 6N-HC1, and separated with ethyl acetate to separate the ethyl acetate fraction (acidic fraction).

Daibutsu Park in Hirosaki City. This is the place where Ishikawa Castle, one of the castles conquered by Tamenobu Oura, is said to have stood. Ishikawa Castle is also known as Daibutsugahana Castle. It seems that it is derived from the legend that “it resembles the nose of the sleeping Buddha”. Ishikawa Castle was the base of the Nanbu clan in Tsugaru, and Takanobu Nanbu used it as his residence. His Tamenobu, who rose up to unify Tsugaru, seems to have thought of taking down Ishikawa Castle as a first step. 1571 (In the same year, Shingen Takeda of Kai Province launched a full-scale invasion of Mikawa Province and Totomi Province, intensifying the offensive against Oda and Tokugawa. On September 12, he set fire to Enryakuji Temple on Mt. Apparently.)

【Origin of name】
Imagine that it was a delicious apple with amazing honey, but it was surprisingly small and got a high profit. In addition, products made by members of the Komitsu Association that meet certain standards are shipped under the name of Komitsu.
【Major features】

Despite being extremely delicious apples, Kotoku apples, which were on the brink of extinction a few years ago, were not very well received in the general market due to the fact that the rich honey content is difficult to convey at stores, and they tend to have small balls. It seems However, the tenacious sales channel development and thorough quality control of the former Tsugaru Ishikawa Agricultural Cooperative over many years have finally succeeded in gaining the support of discerning consumers. With its growing popularity, other production areas also began to cultivate kotoku. In August 2007, registration was approved for the product name of Kotoku produced by the same agricultural cooperative, which exceeds a certain standard. Currently, “Komitsu” is a registered trademark of Komitsu association. Koutoku paradise apple worked for about 40 years at the Apple Experiment Station (Tanaka, Kuroishi City) of the Aomori Prefectural Industrial Technology Center. Born on September 26, 1901. Became an engineer at the Aomori Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station in 1928, and became the director in 1952. Worked on apple disease research and was said to be an endemic disease, Monilinia mali. It occurs on leaves, flowers, and young fruits, and is called leaf worm, flower worm, and fruit worm, respectively. The leaf worm infects the expanded leaves shortly after germination, and brown lesions appear on the midribs or veins. After that, it reaches the base of the flower bud through the petiole and withers to form the flower bud. When the stem grows and the base of the fruit rots through the fruit peduncle, it becomes a kabuki that wilts, including healthy fruits. If the fruit is shrunk and kabuzu occurs frequently, it affects the yield. The primary source of infection is the year before the wintering. Ascospores scattered from the fungus (fruiting body = peridis) formed on the sclerotia formed in the fruited fruit. This infects the leaves, resulting in leaf spores and flower spores that appear gray. Forms powdery conidia. Conidia can infect only flowering stigma (floral infection) and produce fruit pods, which later fall off and form sclerotia, source of infection in the following year and the year after next. After his retirement, he sowed the seeds of “Toko apples” that were naturally hybridized in his own garden, and selected and nurtured apples from the seedlings. In 1984, Takahisa Kimura filed an application for registration based on the Seed and Seedling Law, and was registered in 1985. In more detail, Jinya Kimura of Kashiwagi Town, Minamitsugaru District (currently Kashiwagi, Hirakawa City), after retiring from the head of the Aomori Prefectural Experiment Station, sowed Toko apple seeds in her own garden in 1971 and cultivated 73. The first results were obtained in 1979, and the selection was made in 1979; In February 1982, his breeder died at the age of 80, and from April of the same year, Suetsugu Kudo, Seiichi Kudo, and Renichi Kudo from Hirosaki City, and Kiyoharu Kon from Kuroishi City started trial production of high grafted trees. In recent years, based on genotyping, it seems that one parent is Fuji apple and the other is Rom 16 apple. The year of registration was 1985, the registered variety was Takahisa Kimura, and the name at the time of filing was Koyo apples. The ripening period is from the end of October to the beginning of November, and it can be stored until around February in normal storage and until around May in refrigerated storage. It seems to be full of December. The fruits are circular, slightly smaller than Fuji apples, weighing about 200-300 g. The peel is yellow-green with clear pale brown stripes, and the peel is slightly glossy, and the fruit surface is smooth. The flesh is yellow, slightly hard, medium in texture, and appears to be very honeyed. It has an extremely large amount of juice, is sweet (with a sugar content of around 14%), has a moderately sour taste, and is fragrant. However, it seems that among the products sold at farmer’s markets such as Kotoku apple, without going through the former Tsugaru-Ishikawa Agricultural Cooperative, there were many variations, such as those with no honey or those that were a little immature. There are apples that have a lot of honey and others that don’t have much honey. It is said that there are more than 9,000 apple cultivars in the world. Cultivation became popular in Europe around the 16th and 17th centuries. Introduced to Japan from the United States after the end of the Edo period, Kogyoku apples and Kokko apples are typical pre-war varieties. Many varieties have been produced in Japan since the 1955s, and the Japanese-made “Fuji apple” (Chinese name is 富士) is currently the most-produced variety in the world. China produces the most apples in the world, and Fuji apples account for about 65% of China’s production. Malus pumila, the progenitor of edible apple cultivars in recent genetic studies, has been traced to his Malus sieversii, a wild species native to West Asia. Apples that have been cultivated in Japan since before the end of the Edo period are called waringo, and the impression is that the fruits are small. Fukushima’s apples are said to be warmer than those of Aomori and Nagano. Komitsu apples are like gems made from abundant leaves that actively perform photosynthesis and collect the nutrients in the whole body. In addition, it seems that unnecessary leaf picking is not done, and the maximum deliciousness is brought out. The proof is the wonderful honey. In addition, it seems that it is a different finish rich in umami because it is fully ripened on the tree until the fruit falls. There is uneven color of the peel that is shaded by the leaves, but I hear that taste is more important than appearance. Trying to make children in the areas affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, which is a disaster caused by the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake that occurred at 14:46:18 on March 11, 2011, and the accompanying accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, smile. , “Tsugaru Mirai Agricultural Cooperative (Hirakawa City)” seems to have donated 206 boxes of apples, a total of about 9,500, to elementary schools in 3 cities and towns in the Ishinomaki region on December 10, 2021. It seems that fruits and vegetables Ishimaki (Minami Akai, Higashimatsushima City, Miyagi Prefecture), who acted as a bridge, delivered them to each school, and all the children took them home one by one and ate them deliciously. A presentation ceremony was held at Higashi Matsushima City Hall (Yamoto Kamikawado, Higashi Matsushima City), and 12 people including the union leader of the agricultural cooperative and representatives of the three municipal boards of education attended. The union leader said that the apples in 2021 were very delicious without any damage such as typhoons. I want you to eat while thinking about the production site. He says he wants to continue to support him as his mental recovery is still going on. On behalf of the three cities and towns, the mayor of the city expressed his gratitude for continuing even 10 years after the earthquake. The agricultural cooperative started donating apples in 2011, and it seems to be the 11th time. It seems that he gave 152 boxes of “San Fuji APPLE” to Ishinomaki City, 48 boxes to Higashi Matsushima City, and 6 boxes to Onagawa Town (32 pieces each). Eleven years have passed since then, but with the passage of time, how to pass on the lessons has become an issue. Search activities are still ongoing today. The JA Youth Club promotes the activities of agriculture, JA, and JA Youth Club and the importance of community development with agriculture with handmade signboards to convey to local residents such as consumers. Around the end of January 2017, the highest award: Aomori Prefecture Tsugaru Mirai Agricultural Cooperative Youth Division Matsuzaki Branch was awarded, but it was still a new event in my memory. It seems that the image character “Rin” used in the packaging of apples for gifts last year is currently attracting the attention of Toyosu market officials. I have seen it several times. Tsugaru Mirai Agricultural Cooperative (head office Hirakawa City, Aomori Prefecture) is an Ishikawa agricultural product processing facility operated by the Agricultural Cooperative, which will be attached to “Roadside Station Hirosaki Sunfesta Ishikawa” in Hirosaki City on September 24, 2021. It was revealed that there was a misconduct that the product price of 3.78 million yen was lost due to improper cash processing for 6 years. Approximately one month ago, on August 25, the Norinchukin Bank designated it as “JA requiring improvement” and submitted measures to prevent recurrence. “Hirakawa City”, It is located at the southern end of the Tsugaru Plain in the southern part of Aomori Prefecture. Towada City and Kosaka Town, Akita Prefecture, bordering Towada Lake in the east. The west borders Hirosaki City and Owani Town across the Hirakawa River. To the north are Aomori City, Kuroishi City, and Inakadate Village. The south is an anchor type adjacent to Akita Prefecture, with a total area of 346.01 km2. The terrain is part of the Tsugaru Plain and has fertile soil geology suitable for agriculture. Flat land used as a paddy field and hills at an altitude of 20 to 300 m. A plateau used as a combined management zone for paddy rice and Apple, a mountainous area that belongs to a part of the Hakkouda / Towada volcanic group. Most of them are national forests(A forest cultivation system in which the people of a nation invest in government-owned forests and fields : shared forest system). The climate of the city belongs to the Sea of Japan climate. Hakkoda Mountains in the east and Mt. Iwaki in the west are surrounded by mountains on all sides, so the climate is stable and warm throughout the year. It is said that it is the most blessed area in the prefecture with little temperature difference. There is a lot of greenery, and the natural environment where people can lead a comfortable life is maintained, and the changes of the four seasons are beautiful. It is also famous for having relatively few natural disasters. “Kuroishi City”, It is located almost in the center of the prefecture. It is blessed with abundant nature and abundant hot springs, with the Tsugaru Plain on three sides and the Hakkoda Mountains on the east. In an old castle town known for producing tasty “Kuroishi Rice” and “Kuroishi Apple”. We are promoting town development with the aim of becoming a colorful and attractive “country tourism industry city” in the season. Important preservation district of historic buildings : Nakamachi Komise Street(It is said that Komise, which is a major feature of the merchant town, was encouraged by the first lord of Kuroishi, Nobufusa Tsugaru, when he divided the town.In 1656, Meireki learned 5,000 koku of rice from the Hirosaki clan. Later, it became private land when the land tax was revised in the Meiji era. Despite becoming a completely private property, it still exists as a public space without obstructing the passage of people. The hood in front of the town house facing the street is called Komise in Aomori and Akita Region.)and autumn colors famous place “Nakano Momijiyama”. At the same time, “Kuroishi fried fagopyrum vulgare” and “Tsuyu fried soba” are attracting attention nationwide. “Inakadate Village Minamitsugaru District”, Born on April 1, 1955 by the merger of Inakadate Village and Koudenji Village. Located on the south side of the Tsugaru Plain. Many ruins from the Jomon period and the Yayoi period have been confirmed. Among them, the Tarena site (national historic site), which became famous nationwide, was found with about 656 paddy filed traces at the end of the middle of the yayoi period. There was already a military commander’s mansion in Nanboku Town period, Northern and Southern dynasties, Southern and Northern Dynasties (Vietnam), and Inakadate Castle Mr. Sentoku lived in the Warring States period. The fierce battle of Tensho 13 (1585) and the suicide of Oichi, the wife of Godai castle owner Sentoku kamon Masatake, have been handed down for a long time. In recent years, we have been promoting the creation of unevenness that cherishes these histories and the traditional culture that our predecessors have built up. It continues to develop as a rice-scented hometown where greenery (Agriculture, Nature) and industry are in harmony, and continues to this day. You can see Mt. Hakkouda to the east and Mt. Iwaki to the west. It extends 9 km from east to west and 6.5 km from north to south. Topography with an area of 22.35 km2. Aseishigawa runs from east to west in the center, and Hirakawa runs from north to south on the border with Hirosaki City, and most of the land is covered with alluvial soil. Rich water and plain fertile soil are suitable for planting rice, apples and vegetables. Residents are proud of the prosperity of northern rice culture and have struck a glorious history and tradition. “Itayanagi Town Kitatsugaru District”, It is located in the center of the western Tsugaru district of the prefecture. It has a typical Sea of Japan-type climate with abundant changes in the four seasons. Most of the total area of 41.88 km2 is flat. Located between Mt. Iwaki in the west and Togawa in the east, the thickly developed Holocene sediments of these water systems : Forming a rich and highly productive plain suitable for use as an apple orchard. In 1955, the merger of Itayanagi Town, Koami, Soikawa, and Hataoka’s one town and three villages. It was said that the settlement of the village was during the Bunroku and Keicho eras (1592-1615). This is due to the fact that it had a good port near the castle of the Tsugaru clan and was the only one on the Iwaki River, and that the only ferry port in the north was established. It developed rapidly as a department store, and a large settlement was formed and became prosperous. In the 4th year of the Horeki (1754), the feudal lord issued a sudden “order to suspend business”, and in addition, he was hit by the Great Meiwa Earthquake and gradually declined. Once upon a time, there were huge Itaya and Willow trees outside the old precincts of Ryuenji-Temple(Soto school (of Zen Buddhism)), that is, on the eastern bank of the Iwaki River. The origin of the slang name of “Itaya amicorum Salix L.” was created by summarizing this Itaya willow. History of apples in Aomori prefecture : It begins with the distribution of three American saplings by the Ministry of Interior at the time in the 8th year of the Meiji era. The following year, it was cultivated on a trial basis in our town, and the number of growers continued to increase until the 30’s of the Meiji era due to the tireless research and efforts of its cultivation technology. Apple Light Festival : It was born from the desire of the townspeople to pray for a good harvest. “Hirosaki City”, Located in the western part of Prefecture, it is famous as the third largest city in the prefecture after Aomori City and Hachinohe City in terms of population. It is an inland area with a total area of 524.12 km2 and overlooks the Hakkoda mountain range in the Ou Mountains to the east. It has the highest peak of Mt. Iwaki called “Tsugaru Fuji Apple” in the west, and the Shirakami Mountains, which is registered as a World Heritage Site, straddles Akita in the south. In the plains, it originates in the Shirakami Mountains(The season for mountain hiking in the Shirakami Mountain Range has come with beech trees shooting buds!). The Iwaki River, a first-class river with the largest basin area in the prefecture that flows into the Sea of Japan via Jusan Lake, flows north for about 30 km. The Hirakawa River and Aseishikawa River meet, and the fertile and vast Tsugaru Plain in the basin forms one of the best grain-producing areas in Aomori Prefecture. In the small hills around the plain, there is a 5.44 km2 orchard that produces about 40% of the core agricultural products, apples. The forest area stretches around the orchard and becomes an area blessed with a lush natural environment. Overview of my favorite Hirosaki city(Takaoka; Iwaki Town); During World War II, the war ended after avoiding war damage. Developed as a cultural city based on numerous cultural heritage represented by castles and cherry blossoms and a blessed natural environment. Merged with 12 surrounding towns and villages in 1955 and 1957. Aiming to become the largest apple-producing area in Japan, a garden city of apples and rice. The population is declining, the birthrate is declining and the population is aging, and the daily living area is expanding. Responding appropriately to these issues as the environment surrounding rural areas changes drastically; I hope that it will be a comfortable city for everyone to live in. As we now face a new age of population decline and an aging society, small and medium retailers and other businesses that are rooted in their individual communities are asked to try new projects and new system development in order to work for the realization of a society in which it is comfortable to live and lives are rich. The sense of cardboard in the photo is outstanding. Indeed, a survey of people’s views regarding the importance of city centers reveals that providing a “hospitable environment for the elderly to live” is considered to be one of the most important roles of city centers. “Hirakawa City”, It is located at the southern end of the Tsugaru Plain in the southern part of Aomori Prefecture. Towada City and Kosaka Town, Akita Prefecture, bordering Towada Lake in the east. The west borders Hirosaki City and Owani Town across the Hirakawa River. To the north are Aomori City, Kuroishi City, and Inakadate Village. The south is an anchor type adjacent to Akita Prefecture, with a total area of 346.01 km2. The terrain is part of the Tsugaru Plain and has fertile soil geology suitable for agriculture. Flat land used as a paddy field and hills at an altitude of 20 to 300 m. A plateau used as a combined management zone for paddy rice and Apple, a mountainous area that belongs to a part of the Hakkouda / Towada volcanic group. Most of them are national forests(A forest cultivation system in which the people of a nation invest in government-owned forests and fields : shared forest system). The climate of the city belongs to the Sea of Japan climate. Hakkoda Mountains in the east and Mt. Iwaki in the west are surrounded by mountains on all sides, so the climate is stable and warm throughout the year. It is said that it is the most blessed area in the prefecture with little temperature difference. There is a lot of greenery, and the natural environment where people can lead a comfortable life is maintained, and the changes of the four seasons are beautiful. It is also famous for having relatively few natural disasters. Former Hiraka Town: Many ruins from the Paleolithic period to the early modern period have been confirmed, and it seems that the footprints of ancestors can be seen everywhere. As a result of repeated mergers of towns and villages, the town boasts one of the largest areas and populations in the prefecture, and as a result, the terrain in the region has been divided into three categories, flat land, plateau, and mountainous area, depending on the altitude and shape. The flat land is composed of paddy fields and urban areas, the plateau is a complex area of paddy fields and apples, and the mountains are vast forest areas connected to Minami Hakkoda, where high-cold vegetables are cultivated in a cool climate. In this way, the region has developed under the blessed land, with the agricultural industry as the core industry from ancient times. In addition, the hot spring sources in various places have not only been the base of people in this area for a long time, but also as a tourism resource, heal people who visit this area both inside and outside the prefecture. In recent years, the all-weather sports facility “Hiraka Dome” has been completed, which is useful for maintaining the health and improving physical strength of residents, and has a presence as a symbol of the city. Onoe area : Until now, it has prospered as a granary of Tsugaru, and in particular, the rice produced in 1984 has been famous as a high-quality rice-rich area with the highest yield per 10 ares in Japan. In addition, apples are one of the most famous agricultural products, and they are the second largest agricultural products after rice. The industries that have grown rapidly when people began to seek moisture in their lives during the economic boom of the 1965s were the manufacturing industries such as brooms and goza, and the planting and landscaping industries. In particular, the planting and landscaping industry has continued to grow in proportion to the rapid economic growth, and has now grown into a major industry that represents the region. In addition, it has been known as a town of plants for a long time, and each family can see many splendid gardens and hedges, including the nationally designated scenic spot “Seibi Garden”. It has been certified as “Rural Amenity Contest Excellence Award”, “Rural Landscape 100 Selections”, and “Kaori Landscape 100 Selections”. This is also the trajectory of the efforts and challenges of our predecessors, and has been passed down as a fortune of wisdom and potential that we have acquired over the long history. In addition, these green efforts have contributed to the tourism industry and are visited by many people, centering on the “Omotenashi Romankan”, which connects Saruka Shrine, which has been deeply worshiped from inside and outside the prefecture, to Seibi Garage. “Ikarigaseki area; Former Ikarigaseki Village”: A barrier was established during the Tsugaru feudal era, and was responsible for military and economic control. In addition, because it was blessed with abundant hot spring resources, it became the lord’s temporary store (accommodation place) when the attendance was changed. Therefore, it has come to prosper as a hot spring post town with a checkpoint. In the 1955s, the hot springs of Oaza Ikarigaseki were integrated for the first time in the prefecture, and the status of “Ikarigaseki Onsenkyo” was established through the development of Yunosawa Onsen and Synergistic Hot Spring / Furutoobe Onsen, and the Sekisho was restored to promote tourism. It developed as “Barrier Toide Yunosato”. In addition, National Highway No. 7 runs through the center of the area and has the JR Ou Main Line “Ikarigaseki Station” and the Tohoku Expressway “Ikarigaseki Interchange”, so it has been a gateway to Tsugaru as a transportation hub since the feudal era. There is. Currently, the roadside station Ikarigaseki “Tsugaru Seki no Sho”, which consists of a direct sales office for specialty products, a cultural tourism center, an indoor pool “Yueikan”, and a hot spring exchange center “Okariya Goten”, is a sightseeing base in this area. It has become. Under these circumstances, the former Hiraka Town, the former Onoe Town and the former Ikarigaseki Village merged on January 1, 2006, and Hirakawa City was established as the 10th city in the prefecture. Based on the basic philosophy of “Aiming for a city where people, regions, and industries sparkle,” and “a city where people can work together with local residents.” , We are steadily moving forward with the aim of realizing “a city where comfortable living spaces are secured and the area is sparkling” and “a city where industries that make the most of the characteristics of the area are sparkling”. “Tsugaru” is a variety cultivated by the Aomori Prefectural Apple Research Institute (currently the Aomori Prefectural Industrial Technology Center Apple Research Institute: Kuroishi City). In 1930, pollen of a monkey variety was crossed with “Golden Delicious”, but the combination was unknown and the pollen parent was unknown. Selected in 1943 from mated seedlings produced by unknown pollen parents. After a while, in 1973, an application for registration was made by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and it was registered in 1975. “The taste is good and the shelf life is not bad. As for the characteristics”, Since it has leaves, it is not evenly beautiful red, but it absorbs nutrients from the leaves that have been exposed to a lot of sunlight. Of the taste, the sweetness is strong, there is a slight acidity, and the juice is a bundle, is a beautiful product. “Beer–Lambert–Bouguer law; Pierre Bouguer (France), August Beer, Johann Heinrich Lambert (Germany)” transmissiontance: Percentage of incident light of a specific wavelength passing through the sample (optical) . A method that stabilizes the absorption of light by substances. Fresnel equations: Freshel coefficient; amplification reflection coefficient; amplification transmission coefficient And, conducted an impact survey of radioactive substances before shipping. In 1990, Hiromichi KATO of the former Department of Agricultural Engineering (currently Faculty of Agriculture and Life Sciences) of the national university corporation Hirosaki University, the following is the result of genetic diagnosis, the pollen parent is It was identified as “Jonathan”. “Tsugaru”, which has inherited the tradition from old breeders and producers and is loved by everyone, is said to be the second most representative variety in Japan, after “Fuji”. “Apples” containing honey contain a large amount of ethyl esters, which are aroma components, and these enhance the flavor and enhance the taste. Due to the low oxygen condition of the honey part, the accumulated ethyl esters have the characteristics of fruity and floral aroma (noble), and are said to have a great effect of enhancing palatability. The name “Sun Tsugaru” is a “registered trademark” of bagless cultivation produced in Nagano prefecture. What is LC-CA? Long Continue-Controlled Atmosphere-Trademark Registration No. 2224231: Apples are harvested from autumn to early winter, and as soon as they arrive at our company, they are immediately stored in the CA refrigerator. From December to March, it will be normally refrigerated for about 3 days for commercialization (sorting and boxing), but after that, it will be stored in the CA state until shipping. Therefore, since the CA is thoroughly managed for a long period from the time of harvest to around June and July of the following year, you can enjoy the freshly picked taste in the best condition with both texture and fruit juice. What is FA-CA? Flexible Automation-Controlled Atmosphere-Trademark Registration No. 2224230: When the inside of the refrigerator is put into the CA state, the air composition is such that humans cannot directly enter it, so it is necessary to take time to open the CA state in order to take out the apples in the refrigerator and work. In order to eliminate the time loss during this period, an automatic rack system is installed in the refrigerator and computer control is used to always deliver fresh products to all customer requests such as small lots and number of balls. Ikari Apple (Kitae Apple Co., Ltd.) has its own refrigeration equipment, and you can enjoy the taste of the season at any time. “Sun-Fuji Apple”, Which is cultivated without a purse, can be exposed to Sun light compared to Fuji, and tends to have a stronger sweetness. Rich in sweetness made by crossing Ralls Janet(Kokko Apple; Originated in the United States Commonwealth of Virginia(caleb ralls farm). Around 1868 (Keio 4, the first year of the Meiji era) or (Meiji 4). In Japan, it has been active as a key variety of apple production for more than 100 years in the Meiji, Taisho and Showa eras. The unification of names was realized in 1900, and until then, the names differed depending on the region. It is useful as the latest species.)and Delicious, with plenty of juice and crunchy. This is a selection of products. Only those that have passed the sugar content, appearance, coloring, shape, etc., checked with an optical sensor(transmitted light), It( refers to the light that has passed through an object, but this tomato is a beautiful product. Beer–Lambert–Bouguer law; Pierre Bouguer(仏), August Beer,Johann Heinrich Lambert(独), transmittance: Percentage of incident light of a specific wavelength passing through the sample(Optics). A method that stabilizes the absorption of light by substances. Fresnel equations: Fresnel coefficient; amplitude reflection coefficient; amplitude transmission coefficient And, conducted an impact survey of radioactive substances before shipping. Honey(Sorbitol; It tends to be made from leaves by photosynthesis and carried into the fruit. It is converted into fructose and sucrose, which are the sources of sweetness in the fruit. However, when it is fully ripe, it stops converting to sugar and absorbs water as it is.)sensor; Measure the size of the flesh, which has become transparent and yellow around the core. Due to the special electronic circuit technology, it is almost unaffected by indoor lighting and outdoor sun light, and is almost unaffected by outside air temperature. In a general example, an apple is placed on a circular rubber sheet base on the edge of an infrared irradiation window and pressed by hand for measurement. Only high class for gifts that has all the elements of sugar content, taste, and color. “CA stock; Controlled Atmosphere Storage : Air Conditioning”, Artificially change the atmospheric composition in the storage and combine it with refrigeration-Long-term storage of fruits and vegetables such as fruits. After harvesting fruits and vegetables – It has a physiology effect and loses nutrients due to respiration during storage. In addition, although the quality deteriorates, the respiratory action is suppressed by lowering the oxygen concentration – Deterioration of quality is suppressed and storability is increased. There seems to be 21% oxygen in the air. The method lowers the oxygen concentration and raises the carbon dioxide concentration. Fruits and vegetables – Respiration is greatly suppressed when stored under low oxygen and high carbon dioxide conditions. In addition, it suppresses the decomposition of chlorophyll and the production of ethylene, which is a maturation and aging hormone – Numerous metabolism suppressed. Low oxygen and high carbon dioxide in the atmosphere inside the storage : Oxygen contained in the air in the storage is burned with propane gas – Convert this to carbon dioxide and lower the oxygen concentration – Controls the concentration by adsorbing and removing excess carbon dioxide on activated charcoal. General atmospheric composition : 2-5% oxygen, 2-10 carbon dioxide. APPLE : Respiratory activity increases in the early stages of puberty, reaching peak in the latter half and then aging. Depending on the type of fruits, the oxygen concentration and carbon dioxide concentration suitable for storage differ. However, it depends on the variety. Extreme hypoxia – Anaerobic respiration occurs and stink components such as ethanol and acetaldehyde are produced – In addition, the commercial value is impaired, and enormous damage is unavoidable. High concentration of carbon dioxide – Carbon dioxide injury such as internal browning and softening of meat occurs. Attention is required because the suitable oxygen and carbon dioxide concentration ranges are relatively narrow. Also, it seems that it is used in combination with low temperature, but I am learning. Optimal conditions are 1-3% oxygen for stored apples. Also, humidity 90-95%, storability for 9 months. It can be expected to have a great effect on germination suppression and green retention. Fujisaki Town, Aomori Prefecture, is located in the center of the Tsugaru Plain and is rich in water and greenery. It’s a town. In 1939, a breeding test was started in Fujisaki Town, where pollen from “Delicious Apple” was mated to the pistil of “Kokko Apple” and later became “Fuji Apple”. Then, “Fuji Apple” was born by continuing to select excellent seedlings such as shape, color, taste, storability, wood properties, strength against pests and ease of cultivation. It is said that it has been proud of the number one position until now since it overtook the delicious strain that was the number one in production until 1982. Now, this “Fuji Apple” born in Fujisaki Town has become the world’s top cultivar in terms of cultivated area, and has become a famous apple variety known to people all over the world. “JA Tsugaru Mirai” is donating about 7,000 seasonal apples to 14 elementary schools in Nagasaki City. It seems that there was a presentation ceremony on December 1, 2022 last year at Municipal Katakami Elementary School in Kotoumi Katakami Town, Nagasaki City. The JA has been delivering apples to elementary schools in Nagasaki every year since 2010 to promote Aomori apples. At the presentation ceremony, JA’s Managing Director seems to have said, “Please eat a lot of Aomori apples and lead a healthy school life.” About 300 apples of two types, “Orin apple” and “Sun Fuji apple”, were presented, and it seems that they were full of children’s smiles. It is a funny sight.



Honey-filled apples are said to be “sweet and delicious” and are popular, and it seems that the amount of sugars and sweetness are not necessarily high compared to apples without honey. For this reason, it seems that he could not explain why honey-filled apples are so popular. In collaboration with Ogawa Koryo Co., Ltd. (Nihonbashi Honcho, Chuo Ward, Tokyo) and Aomori Prefectural Industrial Technology Center Apple Research Institute, NARO uses ethyl esters, which are abundant in honeyed apples as aromatic components, to improve the flavor of apples. Proved to be an important ingredient. This achievement is an epoch-making clarification that clarifies that the aroma is important for the deliciousness of apples.



Genetic analysis of Komitsu (variety name Kotoku Apple) reveals that the parents are “Fuji Apple” and “Rom 16 Apple”. Fuji Apple is a hybrid of Kunimitsu and Delicious. I have heard that Rom 16 apples are a hybrid between Richard Delicious apples and No. 111 apples (a hybrid of Kokko and Delicious apples). It can be said that the biological origin of komitsu apples has not been completely elucidated because it was not a variety that was born at a test site, but it has its origins in Mr. Kimura’s apple orchard 50 years ago, and has various characteristics. The strong cultivar’s genes melted together, giving birth to the Komitsu apple.



Apple nectar is sorbitol, a substance produced by photosynthesis in the leaves. This substance is transported from the leaf through the stem into the apple fruit during the growth stage. Carbohydrates are converted into sorbitol (a substance in which sugar and alcohol are attached) by the action of enzymes, which are stored in fruits and mostly converted and accumulated into sucrose. After that, as the fruit matures, the cells become saturated with sugar, and the function of the enzyme that converts sorbitol into sugar decreases. The inside of the cell is filled with water as it is. This is supposed to be honey.



It seems that the apple variety “Koutoku” made by members of “Komitsu Meeting” in Ishikawa (Town), Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture, has been improved to have the ultimate honey content, and can be called “Komitsu Apple”.

Unable to deal with infrastructure, not bad money, once there are 6 times, 7 times. Suggests danger to brain fog, lungs (mediastinum). Still equivalent to class 2: mutant virus Omicron. Neo Omicron: Neo Cov discovered as a high-risk corona variant in South Africa: Invades bat lung cells using the ACE2 receptor in human cells. Like SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, it seems to invade human lungs. The new coronavirus and SARS coronavirus are known to invade cells by utilizing the ACE2 receptor in the human body. During this invasion, it seems that the flexible protrusions of the spike protein that make up the coronavirus crown: spherical shape with a diameter of about 100 nm torque and protrusions on the surface. Morphology are bound to the ACE2 receptor. Neo Cov binds to the ACE2 receptor in a different way than the COVID-19 pathogen. Neither antibodies nor protein molecules are effective against this variant, so it seems that Neo Cov could Be particularly dangerous to humankind.

As of July 2022, “Children’s Home Food” regularly delivers food to families in need of child-rearing support. Handmade bento boxes are being delivered one after another to households using this system in Karatsu City. This initiative was carried out in cooperation with three NPOs and other organizations that support child-rearing by eating at home for children in Karatsu City. On July 26, 83 homemade lunch boxes were delivered to 24 households so that families using children’s home meals could spend time with their families. It seems that the fish, eggs, and vegetables used in box lunch were provided free of charge by producers and companies in Karatsu City. The new variety “Reikou Orange” is desired to cultivate citrus varieties that mature after the beginning of the year in order to improve the varieties of citrus fruits in Japan, which are biased toward the production of Satsuma mandarin that matures within the year. It is a variety made for the purpose of peeling citrus varieties with high sugar content and good taste. It is loved as a tangor of Nakate, which was bred by crossing “Kiyomi oranges / Angkor No. 5 oranges” with “Murcott oranges”, but its appearance is red-orange, smooth and beautiful. It has aroma, high sugar content and good taste. Male sterility (In the “cytoplasmic-only type” in which male sterility is controlled only by the cytoplasm, mitochondria, which are organelles of the cytoplasm, cause male sterility, and this male sterility indicates maternal inheritance. Protoplast culture. Male sterile mutants that emerged from the genomic mutations that occur in the plant are known. Some plants have and do not have a gene that does not produce pollen in mitochondria, and some have a gene that suppresses its action in the nucleus. Among them, in wild plants, the combination in which mitochondria have the property of male sterility and the nucleus suppresses it has evolved, and in cultivated plants, the combination in which mitochondria do not have the property of male sterility and the gene that suppresses it in the nucleus has developed. And, the combination of wild and cultivated species by humans has created a combination in which mitochondria have the property of male sterility, but there is no gene to suppress it in the nucleus. This is the mechanism. Mitochondria(The Origin of The Origin of by Lynn Margulis, the first wife of astronomer Carl Edward Sagan, who suffered a hemorrhagic cerebral infarction on November 17, 2011 and died at his home in Amherst, Massachusetts on November 22, 2011. Mitosing Eukaryotic Cells; In 1967, aerobic bacteria such as proteobacterium parasitize the cells that are the predecessors of eukaryotic cells, and it seems that they have settled down to the present form through subsequent symbiotic evolution. For example, the fact that a genome independent of the nucleus (called mitochondrial DNA) exists in mitochondria and that it has a double membrane structure not found in other organelles means that this organelle is other than the cell body. It is associated with the origin of another organism. Prior to Margulis, Russian researcher Konstantin Mereschkowsky showed that a 1905 paper had already proposed the endosymbiotic theory (his own book “Symbiogenesis and the Origin of Species”). She wrote her dissertation in 1967, and her book “The Origin of Eukaryotic Cells” in 1970, quite a few years later. In these, the theory revolves around the evolution of mitosis in eukaryotes.)Is an organelle associated with breathing and synthesis of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate: C10H16N5O13P3), but the gene for male sterility is breathing and ATP (all plants, animals and microorganisms (including food, bacteria, molds and other microorganisms). It is an energy molecule that exists in cells (often in the immediate vicinity of genes for organic synthesis and acts to inhibit them). Cell proliferation, muscle contraction, plant photosynthesis, fungal respiration and yeast. It is a compound used by all organisms to supply energy to metabolic processes such as fermentation. It does not seem to be affected by this gene at the stage of plant growth, but it interferes with the stage of pollen production. However, since enormous energy is required to make pollen, if the functions of breathing and ATP synthesis are suppressed, it will not be possible to make pollen well.) However, the seed-forming ability is strong. Therefore, in order to obtain non-nuclear fruits and low-nuclear fruits, it is recommended that varieties that form pollen are not planted in the surrounding gardens. In addition to the high quality in appearance and content under facility cultivation. , It seems that it becomes a non-nuclear fruit and does not become a high-waisted fruit. Creating the future of agriculture and the region through further practices of self-reform / At the 30th JA Saga Prefectural Convention (May 16th), we have decided on an initiative policy for the next three years from FY2019. While issues such as the weakening of agricultural production bases and the decline of living infrastructure functions are becoming apparent due to age and population decline, it seems that further practices of self-reform will create the future of agriculture and the region. Based on the situation and issues surrounding JA Group Saga and the progress of the implementation of the matters resolved at the previous convention, we resolved six measures that will be the key to future directions and implementation. As with the previous tournament, it seems that the resolutions of the tournament will be positioned as self-reform efforts, and various measures will be taken to realize the vision of JA Group Saga. Based on the future outlook of regional agriculture, it seems that it will strive to expand sales of agricultural and livestock products that capture demand, foster new farmers, etc., and further work to increase the income of farmers and expand agricultural production. It is said to be a diligent application to contribute to the creation of safe and secure local living and regional revitalization through JA’s comprehensive business and lifestyle and cultural activities. Strengthen membership by promoting business use and participation in cooperative activities according to the diversifying actual conditions and needs of union members, reflecting the intentions of union members and participating in management. Positioning public relations as an important pillar of management strategy, it seems that it will develop various public relations activities, aim for public understanding of food, agriculture, and cooperatives, and work to establish and strengthen a sustainable JA management base. In addition, it seems that evaluations from union members and new needs through self-reform efforts, problem analysis, member surveys, etc. will be linked to improvement of JA management. The domestic grapefruit “Sagan Ruby”, which is rare in Japan, is harvested every year in Karatsu City. “Sagan Ruby” is a grapefruit that was researched and developed by the Faculty of Agriculture, Saga University about 33 years ago, and was registered as the first variety in Japan in 2013, about 9 years ago. At the house of about 5 ares in the Hada district of Karatsu city, it seems that the Kagami Fruit Agricultural Cooperative in the district has been cultivating for about 18 years. According to the Kyoka Fruit Agricultural Cooperative Association, there are currently two cultivated “Sagan Ruby” in Karatsu City and one in Kashima City. The number of producers is steadily increasing, and the cultivation area will continue to expand. A citrus variety developed by the Faculty of Agriculture under the university brand of Saga University (Saga City, Saga Prefecture). It is a citrus fruit similar to grapefruit, and it is cold-resistant and easy to grow in Japan. It seems that efforts are being made with the cooperation of the Saga Agricultural Cooperative Association (Saga City) and local farmers. “Sagan Ruby” was registered as a trademark in April 2008 (No. 5131519). The right holder is Saga University, a national university corporation. Kuchinotsu, Minamishimabara City, Fruit Tree Experiment Station, Citrus Club (Kuchinotsu, Minamishimabara): It takes about 15 years to develop and nurture. Friends of Nagasaki Koi(Yearning)Mikan(Mandarin); “Setoka Orange” : It is famous as a tangor that was bred by crossing “Murcott Orange” with kiyomi Orange with Angkor No. 2 Orange of the breeding system. A small-nucleus variety with large fruits, soft and juicy, aroma, high sugar content and good taste. Middle-aged Citrus L. matures from January to February. The fruit surface is smooth, the fruit shape is oblate with a high waist, and the skin is orange to dark orange. Thin, easy to peel, with a medium aroma similar to Angkor Orange or Murcott Orange. The flesh is dark orange, the sac is thin, the flesh is soft and juicy, and the number of seeds tends to be small, about 0-5. And it seems that parthenocarpy(Ovary wall and flower bed enlarge and form fruit without fertilization)is strong. The fruiting is good and it is easy to get results every year. Strong tendency to streptomyces spp., Xanthomonas campestris pv. citri. It is Susceptibility against citrus tristeza virus (ctv), and the incidence of stem pitting(Easily propagated by Toxoptera citricida Kirkaldy, and also propagated by cotton aphids at a low rate)is high. Since one ball is heavy, it is necessary to manually support it so that the branches do not break due to its own weight as it grows. Application No. 10852 Date of application 1998/04/09 Date of publication of application 1999/03/18. Registration number 9398 Registration date 2001/10/18. Plant Variety Protection and Seed Act, Act No. 83 of May 29, 1998 : 25 years of breeder’s rights ; National Agriculture and Food Research Organization, NARO. Unique sweetness, chewy texture, and wonderful fragrance. Citrus “Three great elements.” The history of Nagasaki mandarin is that in 1780, the Omura feudal lord, “Sumiyasu OHMURA”, the Satsuma feudal “Nagashima mandarin” (Izumi District (former: Azuma Town) Nagashima Town, Wenshu mandarin), and Ikiriki Village, Nishisonogi District (currently Isahaya). It is said that the cultivation was started by Yuiemon Tanaka, Rinemon Tanaka, and Tsuguemon Nakamichi of the city, formerly Tarami Town, Nishisonogi District.(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. High-quality “Satsuma mandarin” was cultivated from the Ikiriki region, and saplings began to be shipped nationwide, and it is called “Ikiriki-based Satsuma”. In 1876, it seems that 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, “Act on Special Measures for Promotion of Fruit Tree Agriculture (Government Ordinance No. 145)”, the Nagasaki Prefecture Citrus Promotion Plan was formulated, and the citrus cultivation area increased rapidly 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). From NARO, the fruit of Setoka is a large fruit of 200 to 280 g, the fruit surface is smooth, and the fruit shape is oblate with a high waist. The pericarp is orange to dark orange, thin and easy to peel. It has a medium aroma similar to that of Angkor or Murcott, and has a good taste with a ripening period of February and a sugar content of 12 to 13%. The flesh is dark orange, the sac is thin, the flesh is soft and juicy, and the number of seeds is small at about 0-5. It is also characterized by its strong parthenocarpy. The tree is medium to slightly weak, and the tree is medium to open. The fruiting is good and the results are planned every year. It is strong against Elsinoë fawcettii(Wart-shaped or scab-shaped lesions on leaves, fruits, and branches. Citrus unshiu is weak and rarely occurs in midnight citrus, but lemon is weak. Wart-type lesions occur by the middle stage of spring leaf elongation, and lesions occur even after the end of elongation. Wart-type lesions form up to 1 cm in diameter in fruits, and lesions form above that.), Xanthomonas citri subsp. Citri(Occurs on leaves, green branches and fruits. The lesions on the spring leaves are initially round, pale yellow, and water-soaked spots, which later expand to cork in the central part and become rough, and the circumference 0.5 mm width is water-soaked and further around. Produces a fairly wide yellow halo. The lesions on the back of the leaves are also corked and rough, but it seems to be a light brown raised scab. In summer and autumn leaves, citrus leaf miner often invades through wounds such as feeding damage and wind sway, so it seems that lesions generally tend to form along the wound. The petioles are also easily affected and the leaves fall violently. On the fruits and green branches, water-soaked dark green lesions are formed at first, and then they become cork and become light brown raised scabs. Overwintering lesions on leaves and branches are the primary source of transmission, but lesions on treetops in summer and autumn are especially important. In addition, in Spring cankers infected at relatively low temperatures in autumn, the amount of pathogenic bacteria released is even higher than in the lesions of summer-autumn treetops, making it more important as a source of transmission. The leaves are infected with stomata from the new leaf development stage to the growth arrest stage, and then when the tissue hardens, it is infected from the wound caused by the wind and the feeding damage scars of Phyllocnistis citrella. The main infection period for spring leaves is from early May to mid-June. Following the infection of spring leaves, it seems that the infection is repeated to spring branches and summer and autumn treetops. Infection of fruits is from immediately after flower fall to late September, mainly by secondary infection from leaves. Winds and rains accompanied by strong winds with wind speeds of 6 to 8 m or more, especially typhoons in summer, are the most important factors that promote the onset of disease. There is a difference in resistance depending on the type of citrus, and I heard that Satsuma mandarin is moderate.), is susceptible to citrus tristeza virus (CTV), and seems to have a high incidence of stem pitting. As an aside, the mid-late citrus “Setoka” seems to produce a certain amount of softened fruits with low sugar and high acidity, mainly in greenhouse cultivation. Greenhouse-grown “Setoka” is often sold as a high-class fruit in units of one, and it seems that such low-quality fruits may rarely be subject to complaints from consumers. The quality of softened fruits during the harvest period is slightly smaller than that of normal fruits, the skin color is yellow, and the skin is thin. It seems that the fruit surface is smooth and the fruit is soft. Brix in fruit juice is about 30% lower than normal fruit, and acid seems to be about 40% higher. Fruits two months before harvest, which is the coloring period, tend to be late in coloring. Regarding the details of the components in fruit juice, fructose, glucose, and sucrose that make up sugar are all low, and sucrose, which is the main sugar, is about 70% lower. In addition, the content of almost all amino acids composed is low, and the total amount of all amino acids seems to be about 30% lower. The incidence rate by fruit set site is particularly high in the inside, and it seems that it is estimated to be about 12%. The incidence of other parts is 1 to 4%, and it seems to be about 3% on average. In the fruit of softening disease, the photosynthetic product made from the leaves did not transfer from the fruit stalk (fruit axis) to the fruit by the experiment using the stable isotope of carbon, and the phloem (fruit axis) by microscopic observation. It has been confirmed that callose (β-1, 3-glucan), which is a kind of polysaccharide, is accumulated in the phloem in the fruit stalk). It seems that callose blocks the phloem and inhibits the translocation of photosynthetic products to the fruit, leading to quality deterioration. It seems that the methods to prevent the shipment of softened fruits are to remove the inner fruits as much as possible at the time of fruit picking and to pick small fruits that are late in coloring during the coloring period about 2 months before harvesting. In addition, it seems that fruits that are slightly softened by small balls that are yellowish compared to fruits with a normal appearance are excluded at the time of harvesting or home sorting. If a joint fruit sorting plant with an optical sensor is available, it seems effective to eliminate fruits with low sugar content. Consumers should choose a uniform color, a smooth surface, a glossy surface, and a bluish tint on the calyx. Also, the ones that feel heavy when you hold them are delicious with a lot of juice. The shape may be more delicious if it is flat than if it is tall. In 1984, at the fruit tree test site Kuchinotsu branch: Present: Minamishimabara City (currently the Fruit Tree Research Institute Citrus Research Division (Kuchinotsu, Nagasaki Prefecture)), a strain developed by crossing “Markot Orange” with “Kiyomi Orange” and “Angkor No. 5 Orange”. In 1986, he was highly connected to Unshu Mandarin and first fruited in 1989.(Middle-aged Tangor)1996年4月よりカンキツ第8回系統適応性, 特性検定試験を実施.(The fruit is oblong and the peel is pale reddish orange to dark orange. The hardness is moderate, and peeling is rather easy.)When you look at the record and show the features that it’s worthy of the agreement. The appearance of the tree is in the middle position, the size and vigor of the tree, the thickness of the shoots, the internode length and the degree of shoots in the shoots are moderate. “Omitting” The fruit juice is high, the sweetness is high, the sourness is medium, the flavor is high, the number of seeds is small, and the number of embryos is multi-embryo. 国立研究開発法人農業・食品産業技術総合研究機構 : 茨城県つくば市, Application for registration was made in 2003, and breed registration was made in 2005. It was registered as “Tangor Norin No.9 Mandarin” on January 26, 2004 and also registered as No.13542 under the Seed and Seedlings Law of Japan on December 7, 2005. Compared to “Setoka”(Different strains are registered as different varieties with the same cross)and “Markot Orange”, distinctiveness is recognized due to the fact that the fruitfulness is large and the maturity period is early. Hamatama Fruit Sorting Ground : Sugar content and acidity meet the standards, and select products with excellent appearance and sell them as “Hamasaki Orange(It’s a little reddish, bright orange, and is said to have been named for the precocious oranges that have been around since the Lunar New Year. The Hamatama Fruit Sorting Plant is located in “Hamasaki, Hamatama Town”, Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture. Content and acidity meet the standards, and select products with excellent appearance and sell them as “Hamasaki”.)”. The shipment period starts around February, and peaks at around March, with a short period and high value. Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture, is renowned as a leading production area and reminded me of my classmate, who was my own son-in-law. Fruit skin is from light red orange to dark orange. Approximately 2.3 mm thick Inside and outside, it is thin, but the hardness is medium and peeling is a little easy. The fruits are oblate and cute. The fruit surface is smooth and completely colored from late November to mid-December, making it difficult to fade. The flesh is dark orange, the flesh is soft, and the amount of juice is large. Segment membrance is relatively thin and easy to eat, the sugar content of fruit juice is high at about 12 %, and acid reduction is relatively easy. It has a fragrance like a mixture of Orange and Murcott Tangor, and has a good taste and is refreshing. It has a male sterility and no pollen, so it is non-nuclear unless pollen of other varieties is applied. The maturity period is mid-January, which is earlier than ‘Iyokan Orange’ and ‘Kiyomi Orange’. The tree shape is between upright and open, with long shoots, medium thickness, and dense growth. In addition, the tree vigor is moderate. Thorns occur, but they are shorter and less frequent, and tend not to occur when the tree vigor settles down. The fruiting is relatively good, and it is strong against Streptomyces spp. However, it is recognized that it is somewhat susceptible to canker(Xanthomonas campestris pv. citri)disease. I have heard that the degree of stem pitting caused by Citrus tristeza virus is high. I forgot, because I don’t make pollen myself, I can’t get seeds unless I’m pollinated by pollen of another variety. “Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture” : The Ariake Sea facing Saga Prefecture (enclosed in the four prefectures of Saga, Fukuoka, Nagasaki, and Kumamoto. The area is 1,700 km2, which is almost the same as Tokyo Bay and Ise Bay. Especially, the Ariake Sea facing Saga Prefecture is a very shallow sea. Even at the deepest point, the depth is only about 20 m. The tidal range (the difference in depth between when the tide is low and when it is full) is the highest in Japan, and it is more than 6 m.) Useful for activities: ITO EN, LTD., A major beverage manufacturer, wants to be useful for activities to protect the abundant nature and environment. (Headquarters location: Honmachi, Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, Factory: Shizuoka Sagara Factory (Mekami, Makinohara City, Shizuoka Prefecture), Kobe Factory (Mitsugaoka, Nishi Ward, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture), Hamaoka Factory (Niino, Gozenzaki City, Shizuoka Prefecture), Fukushima Factory (Fukushima Prefecture) Araikita, Fukushima City), Okinawa Nago Factory (112, Isegawa, Nago City, Okinawa Prefecture), Research Institute Central Research Institute (Mekami, Makinohara City, Shizuoka Prefecture) established, August 22, 1966) seems to have donated a part of the sales to the prefecture. On February 7, 2022, it seems that he handed over a list of 200,000 yen to Vice Governor Sakamoto of the prefecture. ITO EN, LTD. Then, it is making efforts to donate a part of the sales to environmental conservation and maintenance activities in various parts of Japan, and it seems that this is the 10th time in Saga prefecture, and the total amount is 2.86 million yen. I heard that this donation is a part of the sales of the main product “Oi Ocha(Green tea)” in the prefecture during the campaign period from August 23 to October 3, 2021. ITO EN, LTD. The male manager of the Chugoku-Shikoku / Kyushu Regional Sales Headquarters seems to have said that he would be helpful (in activities to protect the environment) because he sells products that are closely related to nature and water. In the prefecture, the donations donated were used for the conservation and regeneration of the Ariake Sea and Nijinomatsubara (Matsubara, which is connected like a rainbow arc along Karatsu Bay. The pine tree, which has a total length of about 4.5 km and a width of about 500 m, has about 1 million pine trees. It seems that it will be useful for the preservation of (designated as a scenic spot). It is located in the northwestern part of the prefecture. The city area covers about 36 km east-west and about 30 km north-south, with a total area of about 487.60 km2. It occupies about 20% of the whole prefecture. The eastern part of the city is Itoshima City and Saga City, Fukuoka Prefecture. The southern part is Taku City, Takeo City, and Imari City. The western part borders Matsuura City, Nagasaki Prefecture, separated by Genkai Town and Imari Bay. The northern part faces the Genkai Sea. In the eastern part, the Sefuri mountain range slopes gently toward Karatsu Bay. The central part has a flat part along the basin of the Matsuura River, and the western part has a hilly Uwaba plateau. Karatsu Bay, which forms the land, has strip-shaped Matsubara and sandy beaches on both wings, and Takashima is located in the center of the bay. etc. Agriculture : Early paddy field remains including continental ground stoneware and carbonized rice were concentrated and discovered in the northern Kyushu region, such as the Itazuke site located at Hakata Ward, Fukuoka City, Nabatake site located at Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture, Magarita site located at Fukuoka Prefecture and Notame site located at Fukuoka Prefecture. The essence of art that connects the modern era to the future. Traditional ceramic art of ‘Karatsu ware’ dates all the way back to the Momoyama period. In the beginning of karatsu ware, cloudy straw ashes glaze was used frequently. But after the Meiji Restoration, karatsu ware lost the clan’s patronage, and the number of kilns which canceled production increased, they doubted whether it continued. ‘Ichiraku 2 Hagi 3 Karatsu’ : Designated as a traditional Japanese craft along with the branch Takeo Kokaratsu ware. Tadazane’s younger brother, the Lord of the Mikawa-Yoshida Domain (present-day Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture), and Tadatomo OGASAWARA (whose descendants were lords of Karatsu Domain, Hizen Province [present-day Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture] at the time of the Meiji Restoration) invited Sohen Yamada, one of the ‘Four Heavenly Kings’ (as the closest followers of the founder of the Sansen FAMILY(Omote, Ura, Mushakoji(Kankyu hermitage))tea ceremony, SEN no Sotan, were known), to revive the matcha ceremony, though separately from the Ogasawara style. TADAZANE(Shimousa Country Koga Castle : Mr. Fuchu OGASAWARA)stayed the position as the lord of the Kokura Domain until the end of Edo period and the line of TADATOMO which was relocated to some places, was finally relocated to the Karatsu Domain, Hizen Province (presently Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture) holding 60,000 koku(of rice) (a unit of volume: rice 1-koku is 180.39 liter, lumber 1-koku is 0.278 cubic meter)and the line of Nagatsugu was finally relocated to the Anji Domain, Harima Province (presently Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture) holding 10,000 koku(of rice) (a unit of volume: rice 1-koku is 180.39 liter, lumber 1-koku is 0.278 cubic meter)as the result of change of rank due to misrule and extinction of the family line. Now, let’s return to the story of mandarin oranges. This is a bud mutation of Wase Miyagawa found by Hisahiko UENO(Wase Ueno Citrus Unshiu)of Hamatama Town, Higashimatsuura District, (today’s Karatsu City,) Saga Prefecture in 1970, and was registered as a new variety in 1985. Also, It is a bud mutation of Wase Miyagawa found by Hirofumi MORITA(Morita Citrus Unshiu)of Nanayama Village, Higashimatsuura District (today’s Karatsu City,) Saga Prefecture, and was registered as a new variety in 1980. A long-established company that the city is proud of Miyajima Soy Sauce Co., Ltd. (founded a soy sauce brewery in Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture in 1882. About 140 years of continuous production of soy sauce and miso, which can be said to be the origin of Japanese food. It is said that he continues to seek more delicious, rich and reliable taste while responding to the voices of people and the times. Based on traditional fermentation technology, various sauces, powdered soy sauce, liquid soy sauce, brewed meat sauce, etc. It seems that it has expanded the range of food manufacturing technology to noodle soup, dressing, spices, canned foods, retort foods, frozen foods. Creating the future from the origin of deliciousness.) Is a short movie, delicious is connecting omoi. Will be delivered from 12:00 on January 13, 2022 (Thursday). The concept of the image is delicious, but it seems to connect thoughts. An excellent older sister who is loved by everyone. She has mixed feelings about her sister and she hates her sister. The lunch box that her sister cooks with her thoughts gently draws the heart of her sister who has left her. And the taste of her sister’s bond was the taste of her mother, who had long been accustomed to it. Delicious is something that connects people’s feelings. It seems that the “family bond” is expressed through the story of the sisters. With the idea of “connecting people and supporting people’s happiness through food,” this work, delicious, connects people’s thoughts. Was produced.



The appearance is red-orange, smooth and beautiful, fragrant, high sugar content and good taste. When it becomes an adult tree, it tends to be in a state of excessive flowering, so-called solid flowering, and as a result of the short time, there is a risk that straight flowers will grow densely on the mother branch and most of the fruits will fall. To secure fruit set, how to increase the ratio of foliage flowers, for that purpose, use a lot of pruning, and prepare a mother branch with more than 12 cm and 7 or more leaves, and to the foliage flowers. , It seems that the aim is to improve the fruit set rate by spraying gibberellin at the time of flowering. “Reikou orange” has a thin skin and is prone to cracking, and it is likely to occur under conditions of insufficient sunlight and excessive soil moisture, and countermeasures are difficult, but the higher the fruit shape index, that is, the flatter the fruit, the easier it is to crack the fruit. Occasionally, it seems that the outbreak can be reduced to some extent by leaving a slightly tall fruit.



Among Reikou, the ones with excellent sugar content and acidity that meet the standards and have an excellent appearance are selected. Excellent products are shipped as “Hamasaki oranges”.
