【Product name】

Koshu dried persimmon

【Type】

Diospyros kaki Thunb.

【Producing area】

Enzan Mikka Market, Koshu City, Yamanashi Prefecture (JA Fruits Yamanashi Matsuri Branch Joint Office)

【Origin of name】

The name “rolling persimmon” comes from the fact that when peeled persimmons are lined up in the garden and dried in the sun, the positions of the persimmons are changed at appropriate intervals so that the entire persimmon is exposed to the sun. It seems that it is said that there is. In addition, dried persimmons are generally called KORO persimmons, but the etymology of the persimmons is that they have a round shape or are made by rolling them, so there are theories such as the meaning of persimmons and the meaning of persimmons (powdered persimmons). The mainly used “Koshu Hyakume Persimmon” was originally called “Koshu momme”, and I heard that it got this name because it has a size of 100 momme (= about 375 grams). Mr. Mitsuaki Tezuka discovered Yamato Hyakume Persimmon and started development of the log in the Shirane district of Minami Alps City. I will write about momme later.

Information on farmers I know and the National Federation of Light Vehicle Associations (a voluntary distribution confirmation system (illegal distribution) that replaces the national ownership certification system in order to protect the ownership of light vehicles and motorcycles and promote proper distribution. Established in 1967 with the approval of a corporate body from the Minister of Transport Yasuhiro Nakasone (who also served as the Prime Minister of Japan) as an organization that implements preventive measures. According to the renewed approval from the Prime Minister and re-established as the National Federation of Light Vehicle Associations from April 1st of the same year), the delay in delivery of lightweight trucks seems to be due to the shortage of electronic parts. Demand for semiconductors that control motors and batteries is tight worldwide due to the economic resumption from the corona disaster. It seems that the production of wire harnesses that transmit electrical signals to each device has been delayed due to the shutdown of factories in Southeast Asia due to the spread of corona infection. It is said that the shortage of domestically manufactured parts has accelerated since the beginning of the year. It seems that the number of small and medium-sized parts factories that are shutting down due to infected factory employees is increasing. The shortage of parts from Southeast Asia is being resolved, but it is expected that the delay will continue at least until the domestic infection situation subsides. Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Ikeda City, Osaka Prefecture) and Suzuki Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minami Ward, Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture), a major manufacturer of lightweight trucks, pursue safety and environmental performance when purchasing light vehicles, fuel-efficient vehicles, and vehicles subject to tax exemption. Admits that there is no doubt that delivery is delayed more than usual. Daihatsu has shut down its factory in Oita prefecture, which makes “Hijet trucks”, from the 1st. It is said that parts cannot be collected from the supplier and a finished vehicle cannot be made. The operation is scheduled to resume on March 10, 2022, but it seems that securing parts is unpredictable. The history of mini vehicles in Japan began in July 1949 when the standards for mini vehicles were first established. The current standards for mini vehicles are three-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles with a displacement of 660 cc or less, a length of 3.4 m or less, a width of 1.48 m or less, and a height of 2.0 m or less. Is much smaller, and it seems that there was no distinction between four-wheeled, three-wheeled, and two-wheeled. In 1950, the year after the standard for mini vehicles was established, the distinction between two-wheeled, three-wheeled, and four-wheeled vehicles was established. For three-wheeled and four-wheeled light vehicles, the length is 3 m or less, the width is 1.3 m or less, and the height is Below 2.0 m, the displacement has been expanded to 300 cc. Since then, the standard has been repeatedly revised and expanded, and in 1998 it became the current standard for mini vehicles. Again, the delivery of lightweight trucks, which are indispensable for agricultural work, has been delayed. This is because there is a worldwide shortage of electronic components such as semiconductors used in automobiles due to the effects of the new coronavirus. It seems that it is not uncommon for it to take more than half a year after ordering. Industry groups are also working on each connection to minimize damage, but the impact seems to be protracted. Erinji Temple is 4 km away from Koshu City Hall on Prefectural Route 36. When you enter the main temple building, you can see the garden of the national scenic spot, Shingen Takeda, and the tomb of Yoshiyasu YANAGISAWA-Ko. It is reported that Sadafuji NIKAIDO-Ko of Kai protection donated the territory and built Muso Kokushi as the opening of the mountain in 1330 of the Kamakura period. In 1558-70, he was protected by Shingen Takeda, and in 1564, he invited Joki KAISEN (Soto sect) to become a priest. When Mr. Takeda died in 1582, he was said to have concealed the hexagonal porridge and was burned down by Oda Nobutada’s army. At this time, he seems to have pushed the monks including Osho into a large triple gate to temple and set fire to death. At this time, Joki’s famous word was “安禅不必須山水減却心頭に火自涼”. Koshu City Enzanmikkaichiba, 十組屋敷: It seems that there is no remains, only a stone monument is built along the prefectural road No. 36 near Erinji (near the signal of Mikkaichiba). In 1633, Itami Harima no Kami Yasukatsu-Ko of Kofu Castle guarded 12,000 Koku and made it a cantonment of the Tokumi clan (Mikka Ichiba Village, Kurihara-suji, Yamanashi District). In 1698, the fourth generation Katsumori-Ko committed suicide in Edo Castle, and the clan became a former residence. Tsuchiya house main house: 1868-1882,1960,1970,2003 Renovation, wooden 2nd floor part 3rd and 4th floor, tiled roof, building area 232m2. Registration date: 20170502, registered tangible cultural property (building). It is located on the road leading from Enzan(Yamanashi)to Chichibu(Saitama). It is said that the main house was built by the great-grandfather of the current head of the family, and for sericulture, the appearance is such that the third floor of the push-up roof and the fourth floor of the over-roof are overlapped on the second floor roof. The entrance is opened in the center, and three rooms of 10 tatami mats are lined up on the left front side. It seems that there is a middle corridor to the north. The following eight new registered tangible cultural properties (buildings) were registered as of May 2, 2017. In addition to these, it is said that there will be 24 registered tangible cultural properties in the city. 岩堂セギ分水口(塩山牛奥), 中村屋旅館本館(塩山上於曽), 土屋家住宅主屋(塩山三日市場), 土屋家住宅文庫蔵(塩山三日市場), 土屋家住宅米蔵(塩山三日市場), 土屋家住宅麹蔵(塩山三日市場), 土屋家住宅裏門(塩山三日市場), 土屋家住宅座敷門及び塀(塩山三日市場). Agriculture has multiple functions such as national land, environmental conservation, and living environment as well as food supply. Looking only at the food supply aspect, it is possible to improve productivity by using chemical fertilizers and chemically synthesized pesticides. However, if too much chemical fertilizers and pesticides are used for that purpose, soil and rivers may be polluted and the ecosystem balance may be disturbed. It is certain that it can go around and adversely affect human health. “Environmental conservation type agriculture” is a sustainable agriculture that takes advantage of the material circulation function of agriculture, paying attention to harmony with productivity, and reducing the environmental load by using chemical fertilizers and pesticides through soil preparation. The use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides can pollute the land and destroy the ecosystem. It is good to plant cover crops (green manure) during the period when the crops are not cultivated for sustainable agricultural production in harmony with the environment. “Conservation Oriented Agriculture”: Organic farming, natural farming, alternative farming, low-input sustainable farming, etc. are included, but from the strictest standpoint of pesticide-free and chemical-free fertilizer cultivation, the use of chemical materials is not permitted at all. , There is a range to the position of reduced chemical fertilizer. The national government enacted the Sustainable Agriculture Law in 1999 to provide support by lending agricultural improvement funds to certified farmers and providing special measures for taxation of agricultural machinery. In addition, the law states that “agricultural production method with high sustainability” is “a rational agricultural production method that is recognized as contributing to the maintenance and promotion of the productivity of agricultural land derived from the nature of soil and other favorable farming environments.” Defined, specifically, technology related to the application of organic materials such as compost that has a high soil improvement effect, technology related to the application of fertilizer that has a high effect of reducing the application of chemically synthesized fertilizers, control of weeds and pests, etc. Among the technologies related to this, the ones that are highly effective in reducing the use of chemically synthesized pesticides are listed. GAP is an acronym for Good Agricultural Practice, which is usually translated as Good Agricultural Practice or Agricultural Production Process Management. GAP is like ISO (International Standard) and means the norms of production process control and hygiene control such as whether pesticides are used correctly, safe fertilizers are used, and they are washed with clean water. In addition, an agricultural management entity recognized as having cleared these norms by examination by a third-party organization can obtain GAP certification. Since GAP is a norm for process control, it is expected to have the effect of preventing problems and facilitating the investigation of the cause, compared to conventional result control. 「甲州百目」は, 釣鐘型で, 大きなものでは重さ500g以上になる不完全渋柿である。山梨県で古くから栽培されている品種で, 脱渋して生食するほか, 干柿にも加工される。「百目」「蜂屋」「日本柿」などともいう。「甲州百目」を1個1個手で丁寧に皮を剥き, 干し棚で冷風に当て, 平干しされ, 甘い枯露柿が出来る。Peel the raw persimmon carefully and dry it in the sun, dry it for about 40 days and make it the highest peak that has been prized since ancient times. When dried, the astringency is gone, and when the astringency is gone, the sweetness is felt. The culmination of the predecessor’s outstanding efforts.「大和百目」は,「甲州百目」と並び, 今日に至る山梨県を代表する大型の枯露柿の原料として親しまれ多いなる人気を誇る。南アルプス市域で多く生産されている品種の一つでもある。「大和百目」という品種の歩みは, 西野地区に近接する上今諏訪の『手塚半』氏の竹林の中にあった一本の柿の木から始まりとされ, この木は「甲州百目」の枝代わりと言われているが, 果実の大きさは, それ以上で, 核(種)が少なく,「甲州百目」よりも早く熟す特性がある。「枯露柿」として用いると, 果肉が非常に滑らかで食味がよく, 色も鮮やかに仕上る傾向 : Mr. Mitsuaki Tezuka of the Nishino district, who was fascinated by the persimmons of this tree, took scion from the raw wood of Suwa and made it into a sapling. It is said that it has been planted and a rare persimmon garden has been created. Yamanashi Hyakume is currently very popular as a raw material for large dried persimmons that represent Yamanashi. It seems that the history of the varieties began with a persimmon tree in the bamboo forest of Mr. Han Tezuka of Kamiimasuwa, which is close to Nishino. This tree was said to be a substitute for the 100th branch of Koshu, but the fruits are larger, have fewer nuclides, and ripen faster than the former. When used for Koro persimmons, the flesh is very smooth and has a good texture, and the color is vivid. Looking at the city, it is located in the central part of the fan of the Midai River, and it is said that it can be burnt even on a moonlit night.) Is listed as a special product. It is said that astringent persimmons, cigarettes, firewood, burdock roots, radishes, and winter onions are listed in the 1837 “Hara Shichigo Seven Kinds of Products Book” (“Shirane Town Magazine Material Edition”). In addition, it says, “Astringent persimmons have been declared to sell the baskets in the country,” and it is clear that they were selling persimmons all over the country as cash crops. It seems that the persimmon was also a cash crop. Therefore, it seems that there were not a few cases of dispute caused by wide-ranging field sales in various places, and it seems that there is a written rule in Shichika Village in Harakata that shows the rules for business. Ayuzawa Village, located in the southern part of the Midai River alluvial fan, was also known as a persimmon producing area. Kai koku shi (Records of Kai Provin) “Nari from Aizawa Village, Nishi District, Matsudaira Kai no Kami December 2nd offering auction, and bait bag Tomo name Kesei mo dried persimmon monite nuclear support From the description of Tounhi, White hoarfrost Kishite Sweet Nari”, it can be seen that dried persimmons were made. When the Edo Shogunate opened at the end of the Tokugawa shogunate and transactions with foreign countries began in earnest, it seems that there was a movement to export persimmons, which is a special product of Yamanashi. In 1859, Mr. Koshuya Chuemon, who was born in Fuefuki City’s former Higashi Yukawa Village, listed “Koro persimmons, grapes, Nashi pears, Gosho persimmons” as the products he handles in a document requesting the government office to open a trading company in Yokohama. It seems that it is. In the modern era, full-scale research and research will be conducted on persimmons cultivated all over the country. According to the “Dry Persimmon Chestnut Manufacturing Complete Book and Fruit Cultivation Method” published in 1914, persimmons are considered to be the most abundant type of fruit trees, and the Agricultural Experiment Station of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce collected them from all over the country and conducted quality tests by 1914. It is said that the number of persimmons has reached 3,000. In the same book, the seed called Hyakume in Fuji persimmon is native to Yamanashi prefecture, and says, “The flavor is not handed over to Hachiya persimmon, and the water content is larger than that of Hachiya persimmon. Is as promising as Fuji, and is not as good as Gion.” etc. “Yamato Hyakume”, along with “Koshu Hyakume”, is popular as a raw material for large-sized dead dew persimmons that represent Yamanashi Prefecture to this day. It is also one of the many varieties produced in the southern Alps. The history of the “Yamato Hyakume” variety is said to have started with a persimmon tree in the bamboo forest of Mr. Tezuka of Kamiimasuwa, which is close to the Nishino area. Although it is said to be a substitute for branches, the size of the fruit is larger, the number of nuclei (seed) is small, and it ripens faster than “Koshu Hyakume”. When used as a “dried persimmon”, the flesh is very smooth and tasty, and the color tends to be vivid. Mr. Mitsuaki Tezuka of the Nishino area, who was fascinated by the persimmons of this tree, took the scion from the raw wood of Suwa and made it into a sapling. Around 1918, more than 100 years ago, 50 seedlings were planted near the current Momonooka housing complex, creating a rare persimmon garden. Returning to the story, the true identity of the astringent taste is Persimmon tannin. Among various plant-derived tannins, “persimmon tannin” is a huge molecular structure in which four types of catechins (EC, EGC, ECg, EGCg) are bonded like a chain, and many “phenolic hydroxyl groups: (-OH) ”. Tannins are considered to have antioxidant and antibacterial effects, and are a member of the well-known “polyphenol” substances in recent years. It is recognized that it has a high deodorizing effect that eliminates the malodorous component from the original (root) by chemically binding to the malodorous component and changing to another component. Moreover, it has bactericidal and antibacterial effects that repel microorganisms and viruses, suppresses the decomposition and fermentation of sweat and old keratin, and can be expected to have the effect of suppressing the generation of foul odors. Among the six major carotenoids of “α-carotene, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lutein, zeaxanthin, lycopene”, only “β-cryptoxanthin” was found to have a significant lung cancer risk reduction effect. There are several reports of new bioregulatory functions that stand out from “β-cryptoxanthin”, such as a series of reports. “Zeaxanthin”, a type of carotenoid, has the function of maintaining the amount of macular pigment in the eye, and there are reports of improving the tone of the eye by improving contrast sensitivity and protecting it from light stimuli such as blue light. “Catalase” is a heme enzyme that is widely present in the body and decomposes hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The flesh is carefully squeezed and then dried, and the flesh has a deep yellow color that looks like golden and looks very elegant and beautiful. Partially-dried Japanese persimmon: Among the dried persimmons, the water content is relatively high, and the flesh is soft and sweet. As a guideline for drying in a well-ventilated place, dry the raw persimmons to 35% or less of 100 (depending on the size and condition of the persimmons) after peeling. However, no matter how good the conditions are at home, it will be difficult to improve the quality to this state. After all, it can be done by reading the weather and using skillful techniques. “Kurokawa Gold Mine” is located in Enzan-kamihagihara, Koshu City, Yamanashi Prefecture, and prospered during the Mr. Takeda era. It reached its peak in the middle of the 16th century and was called Kurokawa Senken, but it declined in the 1570s and became an abandoned mountain.There is a mountain called Mt. Tosaka(Altitude: 2,115 m)in the mountainous area east of Yamanashi Prefecture, which is the headwaters of the Tama River. Sleeping in the forest of Kurokawa Valley on the east side is the ruins of the gold mine of “Kurokawa Senken”, which is said to have supported the military funds of Mr. Takeda Sengoku / Muromachi. It is a deep mountain that is rarely visited now. The scale of the mining town is 600 m above and below the valley of Kurokawa, and the maximum width is 300 m. The excavation area was only one-third of that of this vast archaeological site, but tunnels, ore crushing workshops, gold melting workshops, managers’ residences and tombs, etc. were confirmed, and the mining town’s efficiency was improved. It seems that the structure has been clarified. Various relics reminiscent of life at that time-earthenware, ceramics, copper coins, kisel, kanzashi, swords, scissors, flint, fishing hooks, go stones, gunballs, powder mills, tea mills, stone Buddha pedestals, and five-wheeled towers have been excavated. Estimating the age of the mining town from earthenware, it surely appeared in the first half of the 16th century and disappeared in the middle of the 17th century. The heyday is the era of Harunobu Takeda (Shingen) -Ko, as the legend says. However, it is speculated that it was not directly managed. In recent years, the excavation of archaeological sites and joint research on history using ancient documents have become active, and it is said that this cooperation was particularly successful in the survey of Kurokawa gold mine. The results of the excavation at the site of the ruins seem to be in good agreement with the rise and fall of this mining town, which was estimated by connecting fragmentary ancient documents. Such a poor tool stand shows that special mining tools were not yet developed at that time, and gold mining and refining were started by trial and error. Fortunately, the ore in this mine contained pure gold grains in the quartz veins, which enabled the refining of gold by such a primitive method. The fact that the final gold melting work was done in small groups also means that the Kanayama people (the miner who collected gold at the gold mine in the Takeda territory during the Warring States period. He was active as an engineer unit by leading the Kanehori people. There were quite a few gold mines in Kurokawa gold mine, Yunooku gold mine, and Tambayama gold mine. Kurokawa Kanayama people have 12 surnames of Tanabe, Nakamura, Furuya, Yoda, Kazama, Hosaka, Hoshina, Ohno, Ikeda, Ashizawa, Tagusagawa, and Fukasawa.)In addition to that, it seems that it shows a medieval aspect different from the specialized mine management in the early modern period. The mine, which declined rapidly at the end of the 16th century and left by the influential Kanayama people, no longer produced gold in the Edo period, and the remaining gold digger made a living by undertaking civil engineering work. However, the technology developed here was applied to mines around the world and contributed to transforming Japan in the 17th century into one of the world’s leading producers of gold and silver. The SADO gold mine magistrate in the early Edo period was occupied by successive Koshu natives, and the success of Mr. Shigeemon Nagata from Kurokawa in the irrigation work is said to have applied the technology born at this mine to paddy field development.

It seems that red plums have begun to bloom in early February at the Shingon Sect Chizan School Hokoji Temple (Enzanfujiki) in Koshu City. One of about 30 plums planted in the precincts bloomed bright pink flowers. According to the chief priest, several types of plum blossoms in the precincts will bloom in sequence from the beginning of the red plum blossoms, and you can enjoy various plum blossoms until the end of March. Ume tree with red blossoms can be seen until early March. Known as the “Temple of Flowers” where various flowers bloom from early spring to late autumn, it has a history of more than 800 years and holds many cultural assets such as “Wooden statue of the seated Dainichi Nyorai”.

It will be sold from mid-December to late January and can be eaten. Recently, storage technology has improved in individual packaging, and it seems that it can be stored for about a month. If frozen, it will last for about a year. It seems to be hard to freeze because of its high sugar content. Around November, it seems that the ripe and red persimmons are harvested with the handle part left in a T shape, the calyx is removed, and the skin is peeled off leaving only the skin at the tip of the buttocks. If possible, dip it in boiling water to prevent mold and remove the stickiness of the surface. Tie the vinyl string around a ring, hang a T-shaped pattern on both ends, tie a persimmon, hang it on a pole, and dry it in the sun at the eaves. Remove the string from the persimmon and cut off the handle with pruning shears to form an oval shape. If there is, wrap it between rice straws and let it soak in a cool and dark place until the powder is wiped. Put it in the “dish of raw fish and vegetables seasoned in vinegar” to make it “persimmon dish of raw fish and vegetables seasoned in vinegar”, or tempura (Is seafood or vegetables that have been covered in batter and Sometimes it’s fried in oil.), But when I went back to the countryside, my grandmother cooked it and I ate it several times.

Of the 176 items of local food that we are working to pass on to the next generation, “Yamanashi no Meal,” it has been selected as the “Special Yamanashi no Meal,” which has been squeezed out as a more representative 47 item. It is a candy-colored dried persimmon that uses a large variety of persimmon that is often made in Koshu City and Minami Alps City. Even if the same dried persimmon is soft with a moisture content of around 50%, it is called “partially dried Japanese persimmon”, and if the moisture content is around 25% to 30%, the sweetness component crystallizes and white powder blows out, which is called “dried persimmon”. The drying period is also long.

The standard for harvesting is when the thickness of the pod is 1 cm or more. Follow History. An improved variety of pea that has long been used as a grain. I heard that around the 13th century, young pods began to be eaten in France, Europe. Later, breeding improvement progressed and it developed into use as a greenpeace. It is reported to Japan that it has been eaten since the Edo period. In the Meiji era, excellent varieties were introduced from Europe and the United States and spread throughout the country. It was newly designated as a designated rice terrace area based on the Rice Terraces Area Promotion Law on June 21, 2021. Imaizum Village (Ibusuki City) Shin-Nagayoshi Rice Terraces, Toshinaga Village (Ibusuki City) Osagari Rice Terraces. Introduced in the late 1970s as a variety that can be eaten with its pods. December 2007 Ei Town, Ibusuki District, Kagoshima Prefecture, Chiran Town, Kawanabe District, Kawanabe Town, Kawanabe District merged to form Minamikyushu City. Ei Town occupies the southeastern part of Minamikyushu City. Former Ei, Kagoshima Town was enforced in 1950. 1951 section of village Senda and Jitcho are separated. The old town area is located at the southern tip of the Satsuma Peninsula, mostly in the mountains and Shirasu plateau, and seems to be covered with lapilli and sand (Kora layer) ejected from Kaimondake volcano. The JR Ibusuki-makurazaki Line runs through. In the Middle Ages, the territory of Mr. Sakai. In the early modern period, the foot of the mountain (outer castle) was placed under the direct control of Mr. Shimazu. At the foot of the mountain, the Ei Museum of History and Folklore tells the story. More than half of the working population is a pure rural village engaged in agriculture, and for many years it has been plagued by the Photoshop layer of poor soil, but it seems that the removal work has progressed and it has become the highest agricultural production income in the prefecture. It is a major tea producing area. It seems that poultry farming and livestock farming are also popular. Since 1970, a large-scale Nansatsu field irrigation project has been promoted by the national and prefectural governments, and it seems that the agricultural infrastructure is being improved. The Ibusuki Skyline leads to the northern end of the area, and there is an observatory in Senganbira(The natural park extends over a plateau at an altitude of 577 m. Located along the Ibusuki Skyline (prefectural road No. 17). It seems that you can enjoy a large panorama overlooking the Kirishima mountain range, Kaimondake, and even far away Iwo Island and Takeshima. Kiirenukumi Town, Kagoshima City-Makinouchi Kumagaya, Eicho Town, Minamikyushu City). Magistrate’s office In 1588, during Hisabue EI-Ko, the territories of Kagoshima, Yamagawa, and Ibusuki were confiscated and moved to Taniyama, and the land of Kagoshima seems to be under the direct control of Shimazu. In 1600, Tadazane IJUIN-Ko became the lord of Tadazane with 10,000 Koku, but it seems that he was transferred to Chosa in just 10 months. It seems that Mr. Ijuin’s temporary store at that time was in the area of Ei Elementary School in the east. After that, Mr. Shimazu’s temporary store was built on the ground of the Ei Museum of History and Folklore, and it seems that the daikan rule was carried out throughout the Edo period. A military commander of the Azuchi-Momoyama period, a vassal of Mr. Shimazu. He is the 8th head of Mr. Ei. He is the general style of Mr. Ei. It seems that it started when Kanetsugu Kimotsuki-Ko, the 11th generation, Kanetsugu’s child, and Ei named himself Kanemasa. In 1583, he was born as the son of Hisatora Ei-Ko. It seems that his father died in 1587 when Hisabue was five years old. His father, Hisatora-Ko, had promised to adopt Senjumaru (details unknown), a child of Tadamune Ijuin-Ko, before he was born. After appealing to Yoshihisa Shimazu-Ko, Ei (currently Minamikyushu City, Kagoshima Prefecture), Ibusuki, and Yamagawa (currently Ibusuki City, Kagoshima Prefecture) were summoned after his father’s death. Kagoshima Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Certification System: 118032, September 27, 2016, Green Peppers, Ibusuki Agricultural Cooperative Ei Peppers Specialist Department, Makinouchi, Ei Town, Minamikyushu City, 188.4 t, 1.4 ha. Bell peppers are trees, not grass. The inside of the house is very hot and seems to require a lot of water and nutrients every day to grow from seedlings to trees. It seems that 1 liter of water mixed with liquid fertilizer will be given to each planted seedling in order. I also heard that the appearance of the seedlings will obviously change before and after watering. The leaves of the seedlings before watering are downward, and it seems that they are not healthy overall. However, after 10 minutes of watering, the leaves turn upward and it seems to be lively. The seedlings are alive. The peppers that you usually see are not mass-produced products that are brought from some factory, but a collection of life that this seedling grows on its own, grows branches, blooms, and is created over time. It seems that we ate it on a daily basis and witnessed that we were alive every day. Kagoshima Prefectural Economic Federation Chiran Beef Cattle Breeding Center: For fattening farmers, livestock costs account for the majority of management costs, so the recent high transaction prices due to the nationwide shortage of beef calves are large for fattening farmers. It seems to be a problem. In order to overcome this situation, JA Kagoshima Keizairen has changed from the conventional ranch management, which mainly developed fattening, to cope with the high price of beef calves trading due to the decrease in breeding management farmers in recent years. It seems that they have a policy of switching some farms to breeding. In this way, in 2017, the Keizairen changed the name of the JA Kagoshima Prefectural Economic Federation Beef Cattle Breeding Experiment Center, which used to raise fattening cattle, to the JA Kagoshima Prefectural Keizai Federation Beef Cattle Breeding Center and bred. It seems that he has embarked on management. At the beginning of the switch, the breeding center introduced breeding cows from other breeding ranches of the Economic Federation, and it seems that the number of cows increased to around 100, which is almost the same scale as the present, over the next 6 months. The introduced cows will be artificially inseminated one after another, and the first calf will be delivered in April 2018, and it seems that the calves born will be shipped as fattening cows for the first time mainly in the latter half of this year. The breeding center is still in its infancy after switching to breeding management, and although it can be said that it is in the early stages of establishing a foundation as a breeding ranch, it has achieved high productivity by performing breeding management incorporating ICT from the beginning. It seems. Approximately three years have passed since the introduction of breeding cows, and at the time of the survey (as of March 2020), 102 breeding cows were bred with two employees, and most of them seemed to have experienced two births. The production record of calves is 80 cows / year (2019 results), and it seems that all the calves were shipped to the Ibusuki Beef Cattle Experiment Center (Ibusuki City), which is a related facility of the Keizairen. It seems that they are working on feeding management using ICT by introducing a monitoring system for calving management and a cloud cattle herd management system for cattle herd growth management. As a result, the calving interval of the breeding cows in service was about 12 months, which was shorter than the national average of 13.2 months (according to the 2018 National Wagyu Registry Association), and it seems that high productivity was achieved. The calving monitoring system seems to be a system that monitors the body temperature 24 hours a day with a thermometer inserted in the vagina of the cow, predicts and detects calving, and notifies by e-mail. The system has been adopted in other farms affiliated with the Keizairen, and has been highly evaluated by employees, so it seems that it was also introduced at the breeding center.

Isechi watering place: The refreshing breeze that blows up, the sound of flowing water is very powerful, and there is a magnificent embodiment power. At the top of the waterfall, there is a large bridge “Takimi Long Bridge” several hundred meters in the direction of Kaimondake from the intersection of “Iiyama, EI,” a wide-area farm road that runs through the town where fallen leaves dyed in the colors of the season flow over the water. Is a waterfall. If you go down the farm road next to the Long Bridge from the upstream side, there is an old bridge just below the Long Bridge, and from the vicinity of the signboard called Takimi Park, you can go down the path down to the river to the riverside above the waterfall.

JA Kagoshima Prefectural Keizairen announced on March 7, 2022 that it is the brand name of “Kagoshima black cattle (Black Japanese beef cow, which was raised in Kagoshima, the largest Japanese beef cow producing area in Japan.” The current name was born after many years of improvement, and the mellow richness and umami of the fine and beautiful marbling is unbearable. It is specially blended to bring out the flavor and taste. It seems that we are trying to carry out thorough quality control so that you can feel relieved by feeding the beef and public meat hygiene inspection.) , Full-scale shipment to the Tokyo beef market where top brand beef nationwide is listed. It seems that it is becoming. On the same day, 10 cows raised by Ego Livestock (Kasedatakahashi, Minamisatsuma City) were put up for auction, and it seems that the maximum unit price per kg was 2706 yen. In the future, we plan to continuously ship about 60 cows a month. Tokyo Meat Market Co., Ltd. (Konan, Minato Ward) is the largest market in Japan with an annual beef transaction volume of over 100 billion yen, and it seems that famous brands such as Matsusaka beef and Omi beef are also listed. The Prefectural Economic Federation has been shipping 24 cows a month through directly managed farms for about two years, but when the National Wagyu Ability Co-Promotion Association was held in Kagoshima in October 2022, it started full-scale shipment including affiliated farmers. It seems.

On December 22, 2021, JR Kyushu carried the morning harvested broad beans from Ibusuki to Osaka in a cargo-passenger mixed loading business using the Kyushu-Sanyo Shinkansen, which goes directly to Honshu. It seems that it is the first time to ship from the Kagoshima side since the transportation area was expanded to the Kansai area in collaboration with JR West in November. According to JR Kyushu, the delivery from Ibusuki City to Osaka City will be delivered in the morning of the next day at the earliest, but it seems that it was delivered in about 6 hours by using the Shinkansen. Okra cultivation, which has the highest production in Japan, seems to have started around 1950. Greenhouse cultivation has been upgraded since the 1965s, and production has expanded at a stretch. The main varieties are “Blue Sky”, “New Sky”, “Peak Five”, etc. Shipment will continue from April to October, including both greenhouse cultivation and open field cultivation. House cultivation is sown in February and harvested from April to July. Open-field cultivation is carried out by sowing seeds in April and harvesting from June to October.

【Product name】

bright red cherry tomato

【Type】

Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme

【Producing area】

Sangawa Town, Sanuki City, Kagawa Prefecture (Red Tomato Factory Co., Ltd.)

【Origin of name】

“Midi tomato” is a general term for medium-sized tomatoes, which weighs between large and small tomatoes. Released by TAKII & CO., LTD. Around 1975. Small tomatoes: petit tomatoes have become widely known. However, although it was made in earnest in the early Showa era, it didn’t go into mass production.

【Major features】

Mr. Sakaguchi, the representative of the corporation, said in an interview that he finds it rewarding when his efforts show up as a result. The date of establishment of Bright Red Tomato Studio Co., Ltd. was October 2006, the number of employees, 6 + 3 parts, 9 people in total, future goals, training of human beings to follow, and then expansion and strength. Now, let me briefly introduce Sanuki City, where the representative company is located. Sanuki City was established on April 1, 2002 by merging the five towns of Tsuda Town, Okawa Town, Shido Town, Sangawa Town and Nagao Town in Okawa District, Kagawa Prefecture. The area is 158.63 km2. It is located about 15 km east of Takamatsu City, where the Kagawa Prefectural Government is located. It borders Higashikagawa City in the east, Takamatsu City and Miki Town in Kita District in the west, Gomyo in Higashikagawa City and Mima City in Tokushima Prefecture in the south, and Kozushima across the Seto Inland Sea in the north. From the Sanuki Mountains in the south, the Tsuda River flows northeast to Tsuda Bay, and the Kabe River flows to Kamosho Bay. Most of Sanuki City seems to be the basin of these two rivers. The northern part faces the Seto Inland Sea, and is a coastline with alternating rocky and gravel beaches on a small cape / peninsula and sandy beaches. It is said that the townscape of Tsuda and Shido has been formed on the beach ridge for a long time and has prospered as a port town. Tsuda coast of beautiful stretch of sandy beach dotted with pine trees seems to have been selected as one of the “100 best beaches in Japan” in Setonaikai National Park. In 1915, his 9.5 ha centered on Matsubara was designated as Prefectural Kotobayashi Park. In addition, the coast of Shido Bay has been reclaimed and has become an urban area and an industrial complex. In the central part, a plain connected to the Takamatsu Plain in the west spreads out, and large and small reservoirs form a beautiful rural landscape. The southern part is the mountainous area of ​​the Sanuki Mountains, which is rich in nature. In the city, the Kamobe / Minamiya ruins as the remains of the Jomon period, the Kamobe / Kawada ruins as the moated settlement ruins in the early Yayoi period, the Tsuda / Kitayama ruins as the middle highland villages, and the Ishida Higashi of the late pit-type dwellings. The Morihiro ruins are known. There are burial mounds in various parts of the city, and the Tomita Naka and Tomita Chausan burial mounds are 163 m long and are the largest front-rear burial mounds in Shikoku, and are said to be nationally designated historic sites. From around the 8th century until Okawa District was established by the 1899 Shimogori Abolition Law, it seems that it was mostly the area of ​​Sangawa District, Sanuki Province. In the ancient statute nation, there are counties under the country and towns under the counties as local administrative units, and Samukawa district has Namba town, Ishida town, Nagao town, Zukuda town, Kamobe town, Kanzaki town and Tawa town. It seems that there was a 7 Township. It seems that some of these Township names became the names of the towns and villages later. Also, when the whole country was divided into seven Kinai roads, it seems that the four countries of Shikoku belonged to the Nankaido along with Awaji and Kii. In addition, it is said that the Nankaido was established as a road connecting each country and Kinai. In the city area, the Nagao Highway from Tazura Pass to Takamatsu City is almost the route, and it seems that the station was located in Tazura or Tomita Naka. Agriculture, which is an industrial aspect, is said to be a complex management that combines paddy rice, vegetables, fruit trees, and livestock. The main ones seem to be strawberries, onions, cucumbers, cabbage, grapes and flowers. In recent years, high-value-added agriculture such as organic pesticide-reduced cultivation, contract cultivation with Okawa Agricultural Processing Complex, and introduction of Jersey cattle seems to be flourishing. I heard that the fishing industry is cultivated such as yellowtail, Thailand, amberjack, oysters, and seaweed. In terms of commerce and services, the convenience of consumers has improved due to the expansion of suburban mass retailers, but the traditional shopping streets are lacking in vitality, and it seems that commercial restructuring has become an issue. In addition, it seems that the temples at No. 86 to No. 88 of the Shikoku Pilgrimage and 6 public hot springs are bustling with visitors. Although it is an industry, there are seaside industrial parks and inland industrial parks in the Shido(section of village)district, and agricultural processing factory parks in the Nagao district, which seems to contribute to the revitalization of the local economy and the creation of employment. Also, in March 2001, the Takamatsu Higashi Factory Park, an inland industrial park by Kagawa Prefecture, was completed in the Nagao area, and it seems that companies are being attracted. As a major company, there are factories for general machinery such as cranes, rubber products, frozen foods, and clothing manufacturing. The future image of the town is “Furusato; Hometown Sanuki, where everyone lives comfortably with abundant nature and lively smiles.” While cherishing the abundant nature such as the beautiful and calm Seto Inland Sea and the Sanuki Mountains full of greenery, it is a lively town where industry and tourism are thriving and a place to work is secured. The aims. It seems that they love Sanuki City, which is blessed with history and traditional culture, and are proud to support each other and build a city where everyone can live happily together. Agricultural product processing and sales information: Sangawa Yasai(Vegetables)Village, Date, Every Sunday, Holding time, Morning (around 8 o’clock), Place The Big Sangawa store (Sangawa City Ishida Toko), Organizer, Sangawa Yasai(Vegetables)Village Steering Committee, Items handled: In spring, strawberries, asparagus, bamboo shoots, Japanese mustard spinach, spinach, wasabi; Japanese horseradish. In summer, grapes, watermelons, cucumbers, potatoes, onions, eggplants and green onions. In autumn, persimmons, sweet potatoes, chestnuts, figs. In winter, radishes, Chinese cabbage, carrots, lettuce, and sesame seeds. Year-round, cut flowers, eggs, pickles, etc. 6 minutes by car from JR Kanzaki Station, 2 minutes by car from “Sanuki Municipal Hospital” on the Okawa Bus Hiketa Line. RR, but it seems that freshly picked vegetables in season are popular because the vegetables made by local farmers with great care are harvested early in the morning. In addition, it seems that it is also sold in the store mainly at The Big Sangawa store. It is a certain fact that Japan’s vegetable cultivation management has reached a major turning point. Since the latter half of the 1980s, many vegetable-producing areas formed during the high economic growth period have been experiencing a gradual decline in producers and an aging population. For this reason, it seems that efforts have been made to maintain the production area, such as raising seedlings, externalizing post-harvest work, and mechanizing field work. However, in recent years, it seems that this alone is not enough. In response to the further decline in production, the formation of new bearers is required. It is also necessary for the vegetable growing department to change the way the inheritance system should be based on family business, which is to secure the next farmer from among the farmers’ children. In Kagawa Prefecture, employment-type large-scale vegetable cultivation is rapidly increasing. It seems that the efforts of the Farmers Cooperative, which was formed by driving these movements, are systematic activities that integrate the training of trainees aiming for new farming and the acceptance of foreign technical intern trainees. The group’s activities aim to foster young farmers aiming for new farming, but in order to strengthen these efforts, more than 50 farmers including the group formed the Farmers Cooperative. Seems to be. I hear that this union is integrated with the training of trainees aiming for new farming and the acceptance of foreign technical intern trainees. Development of employment-type vegetable cultivation management in cooperation with the training system in Kagawa Prefecture: It seems that the open-field vegetable cultivation management in Japan has not been developed in many large-scale planting management except for Hokkaido for a long time. However, since 2000, the vegetable acreage has continued to decrease in prefectures as a whole, and it seems that the proportion of large-scale management with a planted area of ​​more than 2 hectares is gradually increasing. Statistics show that the proportion of planted areas of 2 hectares or more in prefectures is expanding from 34% in 2000 to 49% in 2015 (26% for 5 hectares or more). Kagawa Prefecture has traditionally been characterized by an agricultural structure in which small-scale paddy field management occupies the majority. It seems to be 83% (71%). Under such circumstances, due to the warm weather conditions in winter, specialized agricultural management has aimed to produce vegetables such as lettuce, broccoli, and green onions, including paddy field back crops, but the area of ​​vegetable planting per household (2000) is, Kagawa prefecture has 34 ares compared to 46 ares in prefectures, which seems to be narrow compared to the prefecture average. However, in Kagawa, the proportion of acreage occupied by 2 hectares or more seems to have increased from 11% in 2000 to 40% in 2015 (29% for 5 hectares or more, which exceeds the average value of prefectures). In the past, the formation of large-scale planting management was weak, but since 2010, such movements have changed, and it seems that the movement to form large-scale management is now active. At the same time, I heard that the total acreage, which had been on a downward trend until then, is also showing signs of increasing. Although the number of businesses over 5 hectares is small, the ratio of corporate management is high. Looking only at the number of corporations and the acreage planted by corporate management, it is comparable to the other three prefectures. Rather, large-scale corporate vegetable cultivation is being developed in Kagawa Prefecture, where the number of farmers and the area of ​​cultivated land are small. The vegetable planting area per management entity is as large as 13 hectares. Regarding managed cultivated land, most of the other three prefectures are paddy fields, while in Kagawa prefecture they are mainly fields. This seems to suggest that the method of using paddy fields has changed significantly in Kagawa over vegetable cultivation. Of the 60 management bodies in the prefecture, 54 management bodies are leasing paddy fields, and the leased land area seems to have reached 500 hectares. As much as 9.3 hectares of paddy land is leased per management entity, which seems to be the main factor in the increase in large-scale vegetable cultivation management. Therefore, a large-scale paddy field leased land accumulation by vegetable management has been realized. In addition, the amount of labor input is large. In Kagawa, there are many managers and executives who have been engaged in agriculture for more than 150 days, but it seems that the scale of employment is also large. Since the area of ​​vegetable planting per management entity is large, the amount of labor input will be large, but even if it is discounted, the number of managers and officers who have been farming for 150 days or more in Kagawa Prefecture is 2.8, and the total number of employees is 1921. Of the daily employment, the number of permanent employees employed on a yearly basis is 7.3, and it seems that the input amount is about twice that of the other three prefectures. At the same time, it seems that the distinctive feature of having a large number of young people among the permanent employees can be pointed out. The number of permanent employees under the age of 35 per management entity is 4.9 in Kagawa Prefecture. In this way, it can be said that Kagawa’s large-scale vegetable management is in an environment where abundant young people can put in labor. The number of new farmers in Kagawa (total for all agricultural sectors) seems to be on the rise. Of particular note is the increase in employment farming (employed by corporate management, etc.), which was rare until 2007. And it seems that most of the employment and farming is done by young people under the age of 40. It seems that the representative of the agricultural sector, who is supporting the increase in new farmers, is growing vegetables. ”Makka-na Tomato Kobo Co., Ltd.” is a farm for practicing vegetable cultivation. Cultivated items and cropping scale may fluctuate due to goodwill, changes in the number of workers including trainees, and crop price trends. In addition, it seems that wholesale market shipments by agricultural cooperatives are the basic sales support for these farms. In that respect, it seems that they are responding differently from corporate management, which is oriented toward fixed production and sales, based on contract production. It can be seen that the management method of producing and selling various crops in combination according to the conditions of the time, while leaving the sales correspondence to the agricultural cooperative, is a place to cultivate a sense of management practice for trainees who are aiming for new farming. It seems that the “Farmers Cooperative” was established in 2008 with Mr. Takashi KONDO as the representative director. While accepting new farmers as trainees, the Kondo Farm Group has also hired foreign technical intern trainees to realize large-scale production of leafy vegetables, which has a labor-intensive character as an open-field vegetable cultivation. However, I hear that the Farmers Cooperative was established with the purpose of implementing such efforts more broadly and systematically. The union’s office is said to be set up in the office facility of Kondo Farm Co., Ltd. (Yogita Town, Zentsuji City, Kagawa Prefecture). Farmers Cooperative is a business cooperative based on the Cooperative Law for small and medium-sized enterprises. According to the articles of incorporation of the association, cultivated agriculture, livestock farming, agricultural service industry (excluding horticultural services), livestock food manufacturing or agricultural livestock products / marine products wholesale business with offices in the area (Tokushima prefecture, Kagawa prefecture) Seems to be a member of the union. As of 2018, it seems that there are 56 union members (including unincorporated farmers). The geographical distribution of union members is the largest in the Nakatado district, which includes Zentsuji City, with 23 companies, but it seems that the other five districts together cover the entire prefecture. There are also union members in Tokushima Prefecture, but this seems to have been triggered by the fact that those who wished to start farming at Kondo Farm Co., Ltd.(At that time, the number of foreign technical intern trainees was 3 Cambodians, 4 Laotians, and 1 Filipino. It seems that they are securing employment of this scale by gradually recruiting new human resources while gaining experience during the three-year training period. It seems that trainees from Vietnam will be accepted in the future. For field work, Japanese staff are in charge of work involving machine operations such as tractor tilling, control, and shipping, and foreign technical intern trainees are in charge of manual work such as tunnel / multi-covering, soil gathering, and harvesting / preparation. Seems to be. He owns five tractors (65 horsepower for larger ones) and is equipped with special attachments for mulcher and boom sprayer.)started farming in Tokushima Prefecture by inheriting a third party. Inheritance of agricultural management to a third party is agricultural inheritance by handing over farmland, technology, credit, etc. to new farmers other than family members, but in this case, new farmers who have changed from office workers, It seems that it is possible to practice large-scale management from the beginning. I heard that such management led to the joining of members of the Farmers Cooperative even in Tokushima Prefecture. Similarly, according to the Articles of Incorporation, the following are listed as businesses of the Farmers Cooperative. It seems that there are various things such as joint purchase of agricultural materials, joint acceptance of foreign technical intern trainees, improvement of management / technology, knowledge dissemination education / information provision, welfare programs, free employment introduction, and incidental projects. The cooperative has six staff members, four of whom are foreigners, and they seem to have experience studying abroad in Japan. Since the union accepts foreign technical intern trainees, it is said that it also has personnel support for smooth project implementation. No salary will be generated during the short-term training period, but if you continue to enter the long-term training (one year), you will be paid 170,000 yen or more per month. During the training, depending on the business establishment, it seems that various insurances will be taken out and one day off per week will be given. In addition to field work, the training also includes inspections of agricultural machinery companies, seed companies, wholesale markets, retailers, and other agricultural organizations. It also seems to offer many options for trainees. If the trainee’s wishes do not match the training destination, it seems that corporations other than the union are also introduced. Regarding the choice of farming after training, it seems that both independent farming and employment in corporations are supported. There may be a helping a long-term employee to establish a branch of the same shop in Kagawa prefecture, and I heard that people from outside the prefecture can return to their hometown to start farming. In addition to getting a job as a corporate employee, there are also options for getting a job at a corporation, such as being a corporate officer or being a corporate representative. Furthermore, it is possible to start farming overseas because the union accepts agricultural technical intern trainees from Cambodia, Laos, the Philippines, Vietnam, etc. and practices farming together when they return to Japan. It seems that they are aiming for. Many varieties of “midi tomatoes” have a high sugar content, and many are cultivated as fruit tomatoes. In addition, there are many varieties with a strong tomato-specific aroma, and there are many varieties that can be used for cooking. The orthodox F1 species, as opposed to the fixed species, refers to seeds that have been cultivated through repeated breeding in order to take advantage of their superior properties for cultivation. It has the characteristic of being easy to grow, but it is usually not the same as its parents even if it is raised by seeding. I heard that it is relatively easy to cultivate because some of them are disease resistant. “Midi tomato”, which is the name of the variety, weighs about 40 g and is likely to be one of the smallest midi tomatoes. Depending on how they are grown, they may produce small fruits, so they may be as large as cherry tomatoes. I think the producer’s “midi tomatoes” introduced this time are a good example. The flesh is thick and you can enjoy the rich taste, so it seems to be different from cherry tomatoes in that respect. I heard that it is disease resistant and easy to grow. Also, when seeds taken from conventional fixed seeds are sown and raised, those with the same characteristics as their parents tend to grow. If the taste of the fixed seeds grown is good, the biggest feature of medium tomatoes is that you can grow the same delicious tomatoes by taking seeds and growing them.

The contents were significantly higher in heated rather than non-heated fruit among all cultivars. To investigate the effect of heating on guanylic acid accumulation, we analyzed the content of guanylic acid and its degradation product, guanosine, in tomato fruits heated at temperatures between 25°C and 100°C. Based on the content of the two compounds, we speculate that the difference in quantity between the production and degradation of guanylic acid was the highest at 50-60°C, and that the maximum accumulation of guanylic acid occurred at 50-60°C.(Vegetable Pest Management and Postharvest Division, NARO Institute of Vegetable and Tea Science, Journal of the Japanese Society for Food Science and Technology 2015)

ナトリウム: Na; In the adult body, most of it is contained in extracellular fluid outside the cell. Approximately 50 % as salt (sodium chloride), bicarbonate, phosphate. About 40 % is present in the build and is slightly contained in the intracellular fluid. Functions such as osmotic pressure adjustment: Roles such as maintaining the amount of extracellular fluid. Normally, healthy people do not have a deficiency. It is possible to promote the excretion of sodium by taking vegetables and fruits that are high in potassium together. This is because it has been confirmed that taking too much increases the risk of swelling, thirst, high blood pressure, stomach cancer, and esophageal cancer.

カリウム: K; It interacts with “sodium”, which is abundant in extracellular fluid. It works to maintain the osmotic pressure of cells and retain water. After ingestion and absorption in the small intestine, it is transported to tissues throughout the body, most of which is excreted by the kidneys. It is maintained by regulation of reabsorption in the kidney, and the k concentration in blood is maintained between 3.6 and 4.8 meq / l. Together with sodium, it maintains cell osmotic pressure. It works to suppress nerve stimulus transmission, functional regulation of heart and muscle, and intracellular enzyme reaction(I have to add proton transfer equilibrium). I heard that about 200g is contained in the body of an adult : Potassium.

カルシウム: Ca; In the body, the amount in cells and blood is strictly controlled. Tendency to move from bone to blood as needed. About 99% is stored in bone, but also in the blood of cells and muscles. If you don’t get the calcium you need, you risk mobilizing large amounts of calcium in your bones and weakening your bones. To maintain normal blood calcium levels, it is necessary to take at least 1000-1500 mg daily. Parathyroid hormone(PTH)and Thyrocalcitonin(Made by the cells of the thyroid gland, hormones have the function of lowering the calcium concentration in the blood by delaying the breakdown of bones.); It is made up of four parathyroid glands behind the thyroid gland in the neck. As the calcium concentration in In blood rises, the amount of hormones produced by the parathyroid glands tends to decrease. It stimulates bones to release calcium into the blood and reduces the amount of calcium excreted by the kidneys into the urine. Increases calcium absorption by stimulating alimentary canal to increase calcium absorption by promoting the activation of vitamin D in the kidneys.

マグネシウム: Mg; Vinegar has been known to solubilize insoluble calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) in food, however, the difference in solubilization ability among various kinds of vinegar has not been investigated. In this study, solubilization of Ca and Mg from coral powder and beef bone powder was compared with several kinds of vinegar. Calcium solubilization was observed to be high in grain vinegar, cider vinegar and wine vinegar, and low in rice vinegar and un-polished rice vinegar. On the other hand, magnesium solubilization was high in rice vinegar, wine vinegar and cider vinegar, and low in grain vinegar and un-polished rice vinegar. Calcium solubilization of coral powder was significantly negatively correlated with the pH of vinegar, while Mg solubilization was not. Comparison of solubilization of Ca in un-polished rice vinegar and acetic acid solution suggested that the phosphorus content was also responsible for solubilization in un-polished vinegar. These results suggest that ingredients in vinegar, as well as acidity and pH, affect solubilization of Ca and Mg from food when cooked with vinegar. Characterization of Solubilization of Insoluble Calcium and Magnesium with Various Kinds of Vinegar,Nakano Central Research Institute, Nakano Vinegar Co., Ltd. and Department of Applied Biological Chemistry, Faculty of Agriculture, Tohoku University with Nippon shokuhin kagaku kogaku kaishi = Journal of the Japanese Society for Food Science and Technology 45(11), 655-662, 1998-11-15)

リン: P;(Leakage in urine causes symptoms such as hypoproteinemia, decreased renal function, and hyperphosphatemia.)The amount of phosphorus per 1 g of protein contains about 15 mg, and the intake correlates with the protein intake. The role of combining and strengthening bones and teeth. Higher blood phosphate levels tend to make bones brittle. Calcium tends to combine and become coal in other than bones such as blood vessels and tendons.

鉄: Fe; It is attracting attention as one of the world’s three major deficient micronutrients along with vitamin A and Iodine(I2; In 1811, Discovered by burning seaweed with potassium carbonate, which is the raw material for potassium nitrate by Bernard Courtois(仏).)Non‐heme iron(Fe)(Included in vegetables, eggs and milk.); By taking it with foods rich in high-quality protein and vitamin C, the absorption rate into the body is improved. Fe shortage of women due to blood loss, a big problem for expectant mother and lactating women whose demand increases. Due to the metabolism of the body, about 1 mg of iron(Fe)is lost in adult men and about 0.8 mg in women per day. Ferritin(A globular protein complex consisting of 24 proteins.)has a role of suppressing deficiency and excess, and is also called stored Fe. About 90% of anemia is iron deficiency, which is deficient in fe, one of the important materials of hemoglobin.

銅: Cu; It has been known for a long time as a trace essential mineral, which is present in the human body at about 80 mg. It binds to proteins and plays a role in catalyzing a wide range of in vivo reactions. Tendency to be mainly present in bone, skeletal muscle and blood. Although it is involved in hematopoietic function as well as Fe, no reports have been heard regarding the adverse effects of chronic overdose, except for some diseases. Monovalent compounds exist as insoluble salts and complex salts. Divalent salts and complex salts are common. It is absorbed from the small and duodenum and transported to the liver through the portal vein. I hear that the lower the intake, the higher the absorption rate, and the higher the intake, the lower the absorption rate. Large amounts of divalent iron and tin ions competitively inhibit the absorption of copper from the gastrointestinal tract. Inborn errors of copper metabolism(Wilson’s disease): Protein binding: Hepatolenticular degeneration. It acts as a Cu enzyme and acts as a catalyst for various reactions such as O2 transport, electron transfer, redox, and O2 addition.Important for Fe metabolism and transport, removal of active oxygen, and metabolism of neurotransmitters. Deficiencies can result from hereditary malabsorption or are acquired, but are not found in the normal life of healthy people.On the other hand, cases of symptoms are given to Babies whose main source of nutrition is low-content milk. Insufficiency may cause anemia, leukopenia, and bone abnormalities that do not respond to Fe administration. In addition, there are decreased immune function, cardiovascular abnormalities, and abnormal cholesterol and glucose metabolism. However, this is less frequent.

マンガン: Mn; Functions as an enzyme activation and a component of metal enzymes. It is a silver-white metal with an atomic number of 25 and an atomic weight of 54.94, and its surface is oxidized in the air. I hear that 12(For a weight of 70 kg)to 20 milligramme is present in the body of an adult. It acts directly with many elements, gradually reacts with water, and is easily dissolved in acids. Absorbed by inhalation, oral or transdermal: Ingested from the diet, it dissolves as divalent by gastric acid and becomes trivalent by the oxidative mechanism of intestinal cells. It is absorbed, transported to the liver through vena portalis, secreted from the bile into the intestinal tract, and mostly excreted as feces. Since absorption competes with Fe, manganese tends to be less likely to be absorbed if the iron content in the diet is high. It is abundant in mitochondria, and is contained in high concentrations in pigmented areas in the body such as the retina, hair, and skin pigmented areas. It suggests specific and non-specific effects on many enzyme activities such as oxidoreductase, hydrolase, dehydrogenase, and transferase. It is also a component of arginine-degrading enzyme, lactate dehydrogenase, and manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). Examples include connective tissue and bone formation, inner ear growth formation, glucose tolerance, fertility, lipid metabolism, growth and involvement in brain function.

亜鉛: Zn; Zinc‐deficiency symptom: A state in which the zinc concentration in the blood is below 80 μg / dL to 130 μg / dL. Dermatitis, stomatitis, alopecia, pressure ulcer due to lack. Loss of appetite, developmental disorders, hypogonadism, susceptibility, dysgeusia, anemia, infertility, etc. Various symptoms occur and tend to improve with zinc supplementation.

モリブデン: Mo; In the human body, it acts as a component of the molybdenum enzyme that catalyzes the redox reaction. I’ve heard that hypervitaminosis is not a problem because it is relatively less toxic than other heavy metals. It dissolves in hot concentrated sulfur acid, but does not react with H2O, hydrochloric acid(HCl),and dilute sulfuric acid(H2SO4)and does not dissolve. It is abundant in the liver and kidneys in the body and tends to be easily absorbed in the stomach and small intestine. Xanthine oxidase(NAD+-xanthine dehydrogenase), aldehyde oxidase, and sulfite oxidase are known as constituents. Insufficiency often causes tachycardia, hyperventilation, night blindness, etc. due to long-term complete parenteral nutrition. However, I heard that the administration is expected to improve the symptoms.In healthy people, hypervitaminosis is not a problem in a normal diet because it is excreted quickly even if it is ingested excessively. Chronic poisoning can cause gout-like symptoms such as joint pain and hyperuricemia. Acute poisoning can cause gastrointestinal disorders with diarrhea, leading to coma and heart failure. It is abundant in cereals, legumes and nuts.

セレン: Se; It exists bound to protein, and its absorption is thought to occur at the same time as protein absorption. A component of glutathione peroxidase(Isoenzyme)that decomposes hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)and hydroperoxidase(-OOH). Important for antioxidant systems, along with vitamin E and superoxide dismutase (SOD). I also heard that it is a component of enzymes involved in ascorbic acid(C6H8O6)regeneration, thyroid hormone activation and metabolism. It seems that there is about 250 μg per kg of body weight in the human body. Homeostasis is maintained by excretion into the urine. Insufficiency is thought to cause cell damage due to peroxides. However, it seems that there are almost no problems with normal eating habits in Japan. Selenium is abundant in algae, seafood, meat, and egg yolk.

ヨウ素: I; It is taken into the thyroid gland and synthesizes thyroid hormone. It is indispensable because it promotes metabolism and, in the case of children, promotes growth together with growth hormone. Seaweed is especially contained, and kelp is by far the best, followed by hijiki seaweed. I heard that it is the main component of Lugol’s(Created in 1829 by French doctor J.G.A. Lugol.)iodine used for disinfection such as treatment of inflammation and teeth. The most in demand is the raw material for X-ray contrast and opaque media, which is used for the diagnosis of blood vessels and various organs. Used as a stabilizer to prevent chemical deterioration of polyamide(polymer). Iodine deficiency is prevented by making it easier to take iodine on a daily basis by using salt with elementary compounds added to the soil.

Tomatoes belong to the Solanaceae family and are perennials in the tropics, but are annual plants in the temperate zone. The place of origin is said to be the western plateau of South America. It was introduced in Japan in the early 18th century, but it seems that it was treated for appreciation at that time. Until the early Showa period, production was insignificant because it did not suit general tastes, but it seems that the cultivation area has increased since around 1935.

It was prototyped in a glass greenhouse in Kusugami Town, Takamatsu City around the end of the Taisho era, and it seems that the cultivation area increased with the spread of vinyl greenhouses in the early 1950s. In particular, the ripe round ball variety “MOMOTARO (The first Momotaro Tomato, which was announced in 1985 by Takii Seed Co., Ltd., headquartered in Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture. , it has become possible to deliver delicious tomatoes to the table.) ”, It seems that consumption has expanded and the cultivation area has also increased. In addition, the variety of tomato cultivation has expanded due to the spread of quality-enhancing ingredients such as high sugar content tomatoes, midi tomatoes, and cherry tomatoes, and consumption has increased significantly. Kagawa Prefecture produces a variety of tomatoes such as Momotaro tomatoes and high sugar content tomatoes, but the production area of large ball tomatoes seems to be sluggish because new producers are more likely to choose mini tomatoes. The main production areas are SANUKI City, Takamatsu City, Kanonji City, etc.

The winding of the head is loose and fluffy, and the inside is light green, and it goes on sale in ‘Spring.’ It is flat and tight, and the outer leaves are green, but the inner leaves are white. Because it tends to become sweeter when exposed to cold or frost.

【Major features】

The limitation of relying on railway operators to maintain local public transportation has also been addressed, and the involvement of local governments along the railway lines is also being questioned. However, while the financial situation of local governments is tight and financial support from local governments and the national government is expected, there is a possibility that the number of local lines will be discontinued in the future. The country is planning to set a direction by July 2022. The spread of the new coronavirus infection, which has been prolonged for more than about three years, seems to have hit many railway operators, including major railway operators in urban areas. It seems that some companies, such as West Japan Railway Company (JR West), have been forced to significantly reduce their business, such as closing branch offices and reducing the number of trains in operation. Even before the Corona disaster, the local line had a serious decrease in the number of users due to the declining population and declining birthrate in the area along the line, and it was always in danger of survival due to deficit management. It has become. In addition to considering revitalization measures to increase the number of users, it is also considering a drastic review such as switching to buses with a view to discontinuing lines. The population decline in local cities where local lines with high publicity are located is drastic, and it will decrease to about 70% of the population in 10 years from now, and to about 50% in 20 years. It seems that some cities are expected to be there. CHOSHI City, Chiba Prefecture, is located at the easternmost point of the Kanto region and is surrounded by the sea. It is unusual for a city in the Kanto Plain to have a cool oceanic climate in the summer and a warm oceanic climate in the winter. The average annual temperature is 15.7 ℃, and the minimum temperature exceeds 2.4 ℃ even in the cold season, which is a warm winter climate. The temperature difference in winter is large between the coastal area and the inland area of the city, and in the eastern part of the coastal area, spring cabbage is actively cultivated by taking advantage of the warm winter climate. It seems that it is cultivated in the center. The topography consists of a lowland along the Tone River and the Hokuso Plateau, and the soil is covered with the Kanto Loam Formation. Paddy fields spread along the Yatsuda and Tone Rivers in the mountains of the plateau, and the fields are formed in a flat plateau area, which is suitable for agricultural work. The types of cabbage are roughly divided into “spring cabbage” and “cold cabbage”. Choshi’s cabbage is “spring cabbage”. Above all, the production of Choshi’s spring cabbage shipped from October to June is the highest in Japan. It is impressive that the leaves are loose and soft. Notably, its freshness and sweetness are wonderful. Spring cabbage tends to become sweeter when it exceeds the wintering season because it stores sugar so that it does not freeze. It seems to be suitable for raw food such as salad and Quick Pickled. Of course, if you cook it quickly, you will feel the sweetness and you will be able to eat it deliciously. “Lighthouse stamp” from Choshi is famous as a brand from Choshi shipped by JA Chiba-Midori. JA Chibamidori Choshi Vegetable Association consists of 604 farmers, and produces and ships various vegetables with three items of cabbage, radish, and corn as pillars. Located 100 km from Tokyo, it is a city of agriculture, fisheries, commerce and industry, and a tourist city at the easternmost point of the Kanto Plain. Blessed with abundant resources in a warm climate. Overview of Choshi City Agriculture: Agricultural land area is about 2870 ha, of which paddy fields are about 846 ha and fields are about 2020 ha. The cultivated land ratio is about 34.2%, and the cultivated area per house is 198.1 a. The number of farm households is 1449 houses, the number of full-time farmers is 640 houses, and the full-time rate is 44.2%. Japanese radish is a tunnel cultivation that is cultivated by covering vinyl materials for sowing after October. Surrounded by the sea on three sides and the warm winter climate, it seems to be cultivated with a tunnel cover of about one vinyl even in the cold season. It grows warm even in the cold season, and its meat is fine and soft, and it has a fresh taste. It’s raw and crispy, with a good balance of sweetness and spiciness, so salads and grated radish are recommended. The pungent ingredient isothiocyanate seems to have the effect of promoting the secretion of gastric fluid and helping the gastrointestinal function. Efficiently removes these heat-sensitive ingredients, and has abundant excellent all-purpose ingredients such as antipyretic action, bactericidal action, blood smoothing effect to prevent blood clots, and antioxidant effect to beautify the skin. Amsmelon is famous as a variety of Choshi melon. The feature is that the skin has vertical stripes like grooves and has a coarse mesh. The flesh is sweet, fragrant, and has a good texture, and although it is a popular brand among melons, it is useful as an agricultural product that can only be handled by producers who have established reliable technology. In addition, it seems to be called a phantom melon because it has a short market period and rarely goes out of the city. It is a gold seal with a sugar content of 16 degrees or more. In addition, it has won the “16th Japan Agricultural Award” and has always been highly evaluated in the national market. Bumblebee is used for pollination and application of organic fertilizer to make delicious tomatoes with a strong taste like red jewels. It seems that they are cultivated using green mulch and white mulch to secure the soil temperature and weed. It seems that the cultivated tomatoes are mainly “Rinka 409”, “House Momotaro”, and “Gohobi(From Sakata Seed Corporation, Fusarium oxysporum Schlechtendahl: Fries f. Sp. (F: R-1,2), Fusarium oxysporum f. Sp. Radicis-lycopersici., ToMV (Tm-2 type), Verticillium dahliae Klebahn, Fulvia fulva (Cook) Ciferri, Stemphylium lycopersici, S. solani resistant to Nematoda insect resistant large tomatoes for red ripening shipment. The grass is rather strong and has stamina until the latter half of cultivation in Nakate. Chuck fruit, window fruit, hollow fruit, and streak rotten fruit are less likely to occur, flower drop is small, and the quality rate is high. The fruits have a high waist and are excellent in color and color. It is a jadeite and has excellent longevity. The taste is good, rich and has a high sugar content. Good fruit set, low temperature hypertrophy, high yield. It seems to be most suitable for forcing / semi-forcing cultivation.)”. In Choshi, there are restrained crops, spring crops, and overwintering crops, and the varieties are changed according to the cropping type, and tomatoes that match the season are cultivated. Choshi watermelon was designated as a crop to replace sweet potatoes in 1967 by the Chiba Prefecture Horticulture Promotion Production Center Development Project, and promoted the formation of production areas. At that time, the planted area was expanded by shipping aiming at the middle of the early shipping production area and the Tohoku region, centering on “Shimaoh Watermelon”, and it seems that it became one of the prefecture’s leading production areas at one time with 450 ha. The varieties are famous for “Kodai” and “Blackjack”. The characteristic of “Blackjack” is that the skin is black and there are very few seeds. The flesh is red and crispy, and it has a high sugar content and an excellent texture. The efficacy of watermelon is to remove swelling due to diuretic action and tend to be high in potassium, which excretes excess sodium in the body. Choshi corn is delicious because minerals derived from seawater ride on the sea breeze and fall into the fields. The more minerals in the soil, the more active the photosynthesis and the more sugar is produced, so it is sweet. I heard that it will be shipped from July to August. Cultivation of “sweet corn” began in 1945, and “Golden Cross Bantam”, “Peter corn”, “Canberra”, “Mirai”, and “Gold Rush 86” were introduced in 2008. Currently, the annual shipment volume is 500,000 cases (case / 5 kg), and the area seems to be expanding in recent years. “地球の丸く見える丘展望館”, Located at the top of Mt. Atago, the highest in the northeastern part of the prefecture. I realized that the earth is round in the scenery seen from the rooftop observation space. Sunny day – You can see Mt. Fuji and Mt. Tsukuba in a 360-degree panorama. In addition, Byobugaura has a view of more than a dozen wind turbines. “補陀洛山 満願寺”, Established by Tokudo Saint, inheriting the history and tradition of pilgrimage since its inception.

The soy sauce industry in the Choshi area developed around the Genroku period Edo era. Following its roots, “red cabbage” is said to be native to Western Europe, and came to Japan in the late Edo period and early Meiji era.(呼名: 牡丹菜)It is said that the vegetables were slower to spread than the “cabbage” that is generally available. The spring cabbage from Choshi City began trial production in 1953. The field crops at that time were mainly sweet potatoes and wheat. Vegetables are cultivated for private use in the eastern region. It seems that some farmers were selling to the city. The production of wheat, which was the center of winter production, is unstable due to the fall of autumn : The price of sweet potatoes made in summer also fluctuated significantly. Results of trial and error ; Income is more stable than wheat cultivation without reducing sweet potatoes. Do not require a higher level of skill than ordinary crops. Items that can be cultivated in groups. As a result of examination based on the conditions, introduction of Brassica olercea and Cabbage as new products : Rotate / labor / cooperative cultivation etc., Consensus that it is adapted to the Choshi area. However, even if the cultivation is tried, the producer does not have the cultivation technique. In addition, it is expected that it will be difficult to carry out a large area of a single house. In particular, there is a great deal of anxiety about the sale and transportation of Cabbage.Selection of cropping type and variety when starting cultivation in 1954 : Along with the probability of cultivation technology, the purpose is to investigate various problems : Visit the advanced areas of Fuji City and Shizuoka Agricultural Experiment Station : Training on cultivation techniques and sales system. The following year, we conducted market research in the Tohoku region (Aizuwakamatsu Market). Check the arrival status and quality of long-distance transportation. I was confident and confident that I could compete well with the advanced Fuji cabbage. The results of the exhibited fields and the experiences of the farmers are summarized, and the advice of the diligent farmer. It was obtained based on cultivation techniques. Then, we created and unified cultivation standards suitable for the Choshi area. Market trend – April shipments are sold at a higher price than May shipments. Repeated discussions and examinations regarding shipment in April : Change policy to introduction from normal cultivation type to very early cultivation type. Work on full-scale dissemination and take the first step in spring cabbage cultivation. Continued installation of exhibition fields, dissemination of cultivation techniques, formation of organizations : Daily discussions on shipping materials, transportation support, sales measures, etc., Collect group cultivation, establish a joint sales system, and gather supporters of joint sales : Under the guidance of the Chiba Prefectural Sales Federation, we developed the first joint sales. Due to the hard work and enthusiasm of the pioneers at that time from production to sales. 1957年7月1日, ”灯台印甘藍”の銘柄 : “Lighthouse sign” is a trademark : Establishment of Choshi Vegetable Shipping Association – Preparation to build the current Choshi vegetable production area. Designated vegetables producing area : Designated as a special production area in Chiba prefecture in 1961. The following year, it was designated as a national horticultural specialty. Subsequently, in 1966, it received a national designated production area. By receiving these designations, it will be a momentum to expand the production area. Achievements in the last 10 years – A pre-cooler that can pre-cool cabbage in about 100,000 cases per day is installed. New and delicious Choshi Vegetable can be delivered from the field to the table. In addition, the credit rating will be improved. “Choshi Vegetable Federation”, Plant cabbage, radish, corn, etc. From early on, work on the use of compost and green manure for soil preparation. At the same time, the organization has made efforts to reduce chemical fertilizers and chemically synthesized pesticides. Toward the spread of environment-friendly agriculture : 2002, reduced pesticides, reduced chemical fertilizers, etc. “ちばエコ農産物認証制度” : いち早く, Ecology農業産地の指定と, ちばEcology – 農産物の認証(2003) : Currently, the largest cabbage and radish in the prefecture. Making soil mainly by administering compost : Soil-enhancing crops such as oats are incorporated into the crop rotation system. Perform soil diagnosis and assemble fertilization design before compost administration. Anti-neutral plants such as marigold are incorporated into the crop rotation system. Medium-cultivation weeding by hand or by machine without the use of herbicides. Cover the soil surface with vinyl during high temperatures in summer : Simple solar disinfection – Unreasonable modeling – Set an appropriate sowing date to avoid pest damage. Choshi Electric Railway (Headquarters: Choshi City, Chiba Prefecture) announced on September 27, 2021 that it will enter the electric power business and start providing “Choshi Electric Railway Denki” jointly with Choshi Electric Power. Applications are being accepted from October 1st (Friday). Choshi Electric Railway operates trains between Choshi and Togawa in the city, but the management of the railway business continues to be difficult due to a decrease in users, and the food business mainly sells “wet rice cracker” and “Mazui stick”. It seems that they are building a management model that makes profits. Other topics such as rust preventive paint and “tickets made from real kelp” (limited edition) are attracting attention. The new entry is the electric power business, which seems to be supplied jointly with Choshi Electric Power Co., Ltd., which also has its headquarters in the city. I’ve heard that Choshi Electric Power has strengthened its ties with Choshi Electric Railway, such as developing a special plan in which part of the charge is returned to Choshi Electric Railway. Yamasa Soy Sauce (Choshi City, Chiba Prefecture) plans to raise the price of all soy sauce products and some processed soy sauce products from March next year on the 16th.

According to JA Chiba Midori Farming Center Choshi, the types of cabbage are roughly divided into “cold” and “spring”, and Choshi is “SPRING CABBAGE”. The feature is that the winding is loose and soft. Choshi City seems to be the best in Japan with a production volume of more than 80,000 tons from October to June every year. In particular, cabbage harvested in the spring is said to increase in sweetness because it stores sugar so that it does not freeze when the winter season is over. According to the producers, there are few typhoons in 2022 and it seems that the growth is not bad. Demand for the food service industry is declining due to the corona slump, and it seems that they are concerned about price slumps.

The trial production of spring cabbage in Choshi City began in 1953. It seems that the field crops at that time were mainly sweet potatoes and wheat. Vegetables are cultivated for private use in the eastern area, and some farmers sell them to the city (the prices are cheaper than the prices mentioned at the beginning and the prices shown, and they are sold at a discount. Also, they are sold by carts, etc. It seems that it was done as a way of putting products on the market, pulling them, and selling them.) The production of wheat, which was the center of winter cultivation, is unstable due to the fall of autumn (withering and ripening), and the price of sweet potatoes in summer is also fluctuating significantly. It has a long history of being studied by its predecessors, mainly by young people such as the Agricultural Research Association.

Regarding the designated production areas, it was designated as a special production area in Chiba prefecture in 1961, and was designated as a national horticultural special production area in 1962. Subsequently, in 1966, it was certified as a designated production area of ​​the country. By receiving these designations, it seems that it has become a momentum for expanding the production area. Furthermore, in 1994, in order to develop businesses such as production and sales under a more fulfilling organization, the Choshi Agricultural Cooperative Daine Subcommittee and the Choshi Agricultural Cooperative Corn Subcommittee, which had been active as organization by item, were reorganized and integrated into “JA”. “Choshi Vegetable Union” was established, and it seems that an organization called “Choshi Vegetable Union” has been established due to the name change due to the merger of agricultural cooperatives.
