Following the death of Seki Shinpei, it was Mae Yamanashi Governor Shirou Fujimura who was appointed as Ehime Prefecture Governor on March 9, 1887. He was a Kumamoto feudal lord born in 1845 and was called Kayano Kaemon. Since the Meiji Restoration, after following military relations such as Go-shinhe place of assembly stuffing, Hokuetsu destination Assistant Deputy Genera, Hyobu Gonsho, etc. It became a prefectural ordinance in October 1874, and since then he has been in Yamanashi prefecture for more than 14 years until he was transferred to Ehime prefecture, establishing the foundation of prefectural government. His Yamanashi prefectural government was promoted in various fields such as education, hygiene, breeding, roads, and hydraulic control, starting with the development of administrative structures, and it seems that the breeding industry promotion policy centered on sericulture silk reeling was particularly remarkable. He also enacted the "Yamanashi Prefectural Ordinances and Rules" in January 1876, and in May 1877, he opened a special prefectural assembly to discuss private expenses, ferocious reserve savings, and elementary school expenses. Furthermore, in the appointment of the head county official for the same two years, he appointed a local influential person, and it seems that a free civil rights activist was also persuaded to serve. His measures are Takatoshi IWAMURA (born in Sukumo City, Kochi Prefecture. After the Meiji Restoration, he served as the local secretary of each prefecture, and at the time of the Saga Prefectural Government Ordinance, with the cooperation of his brother michitoshi, he calmed down the Saga Rebellion led by shinpei ETO. In 1892, he was also selected as a member of the aristocratic institute, but since then he has served as governor of each prefecture such as Fukuoka and Hiroshima prefectures one after another. It was known nationwide as the Kaimei Prefectural Ordinance. However, the measure has a tendency to be self-reliant without waiting for the government's instructions, and has been punished by repeated reprimand. It seems that the promotion of sericulture was the most important thing he put into Ehime prefecture as soon as he arrived in Ehime prefecture. 5093 Hishiyama, Katsunuma Town, Koshu City: “Katsunuma Vineyard” is a tourist facility operated by the city, which stands on a small hill in the vineyard that spreads out at the eastern end of the Kofu Basin. In the underground wine cave, there are always 150 to 200 brands of wine that have passed the quality examination committee sponsored by the city. Also, if you buy a special container (Tart Van), you can sample each brand. At the hot spring facility “Tenku no Hot Water”, you can enjoy high-quality hot springs while watching the scenery of the Kofu basin below. It is said that the wine restaurant prepares dishes that match the wine produced in Koshu City. In addition, there are barbecue facilities, a light meal lounge in the sky, and an adjacent museum. The accommodation facility is said to have hot springs in all rooms. It was decided on July 19, 2019 that six buildings that tell the history of winemaking will be added to the national registered tangible cultural properties. The National Council for Cultural Affairs reported to the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology at the main building and storage of the winery built from the Meiji era to the postwar period. For details, there are 6 cases: Marufuji Winery's old brewery and bottle storage, Katsunuma brewing's main house and office and barrel storage, Kuramubon wine's old main house and wine cellar. According to the City Board of Education, there are four Japanese-style wineries with main houses and stores in Katsunuma Town, where winemaking began in the Meiji era. Together with Haramo Wine, which was registered last year, the buildings of all four companies have become registered tangible cultural properties. It is customary for Yamanashi grapes and wine to originate from the Koshu variety. Before the Edo period, it seems that only this Koshu species was cultivated in Japan. In particular, the climate of Yamanashi Prefecture, which is rich in seasonal changes, is a soil and meteorological environment suitable for viticulture. Among them, as the optimum cultivation area for the Koshu species, which is the only native species in Japan, mainly in the Katsunuma area, it has extremely natural conditions, and it produces finer, more mellow and beautiful fruits. Wine is a combination of climate and people's hearts. The Koshu species belongs to the oriental group (Proles orientalis) of European descent (Vitis vinifera), but its origin is Gyoki-Ko (a monk of the Hosso sect of the Nara period. Born in Otori District (currently Osaka Prefecture). Learned from Michiaki, a high priest of the Hosso sect, and worked on private missions especially for farmers. There are many temples such as Daizenji Temple, Unpouji Temple, and Hojoji Temple that are said to have opened Gyoki-Ko.) Introduction theory and the resident of Mr. Kageyu Amemiya Residents of the village (currently Katsunuma Town). In 1186, on the way back from the “Shironohira” festival, he discovered a wild vine and moved it to his own field to cultivate it. This is said to be the origin.Koshu grapes were presented to Mr. Kageyu on the way back to Zenkoji Temple.) There is a legend, and it is alive as a story unique to Katsunuma, but in any case, it has a long history of 1280 to 810 years based on both theories (Recently, as a result of DNA analysis, the Koshu variety is a European variety. It has been suggested that there is no contradiction in the theory that it inherited the genetic traits of the above and passed from Europe to China and Japan via the Silk Road). It can be inferred that the creativity of the shelves and the spread of their technology were epoch-making in the history of cultivation of Koshu species. In Japan, where the trees are vigorous and it rains a lot, it seems that the stock tailoring and hedge tailoring were not good. Taking advantage of this characteristic, Mr. Tokuhon Nagata, a Chinese medicine doctor (a doctor from the Muromachi period to the Edo period. He was also called “Tokuhon of Kai” because he lived in Kai Province for a long time. He first served Nobutora Takeda-Ko as a doctor, and later Shinano. After the destruction of the Mr. Takeda family, he returned to Kai. During the Genna period, he devised a method for shelving grapes in Kamiiwasaki Village (currently Katsunuma Town) and contributed to the development of grape cultivation. , It is said that Hidetada Tokugawa-Ko's illness was cured. However, there are many unclear points about the end of the Warring States period and the beginning of the Edo period.) Is said to have devised a method of making a shelf with bamboo and taught it to the villagers of Katsunuma. Viticulture on bamboo shelves continued until the early Meiji era, and in 1879, Mr. Sakuzaemon Amemiya of Kamiiwasaki came up with the idea of replacing bamboo with a thin iron bar. Furthermore, in 1908, Katsunuma Postmaster Mr. Kangoro Wakao built an iron wire shelf with the hint of the telegraph line arrangement, and established the foundation of the iron wire shelf that can withstand the heavy pressure by stretching the current branch line and branch line. On July 1, 1889, due to the enforcement of the town and village system, Katsunuma Village since the early modern period formed an independent municipality. On March 2, 1896, Katsunuma Village enforced the town system and became Katsunuma Town. On May 10, 1942, Katsunuma Town was established again by merging with Todoroki Village. On April 5, 1954, Katsunuma Town was established again by merging with Hishiyama Village, Shinonome Village, and Iwai Village, Higashiyatsushiro County. On November 1, 2005, Koshu City was established by merging with Enzan City and Yamato Village, and Katsunuma Town was abolished on the same day. “Koshu City, Yamanashi Prefecture”,（Concerning municipalities which changed characters for names and adopted old provincial names virtually, there are Mutsu City, Iwaki City, Sanuki City, Oushu City, and Koshu City.）になる. 甲府盆地の東側に位置し, 富士山, 南アルプス（The South Alps cover an area of over 300,000 ha across Yamanashi, Nagano and Shizuoka Prefectures.）, 八ヶ岳（谷戸城跡: 史跡名勝天然記念物; 北巨摩郡大泉村（現: 北杜市）: 指定年月日, 1993. 11/29, Located in the southern foothill of Yatsugatake, Henmiso had Henmi-no-maki, a livestock grazing land for ancient officials, spreading in the area, and Kiyomitsu settled in present Seikoji Temple area (Nagasaka-cho, Hokuto City) (alleged otherwise to be located at Wakamiko, Sudama Town, Hokuto City) and built Yato Castle (Oizumi Village, Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture) as tsume-no-shiro, a retreat and backup castle.）The area is surrounded by lush green mountains, making it an ideal place for growing fruits.

This variety was cultivated by crossing “Pione” with “Fujiminori”, and in July in the growing area (Shiranuhi Town, Uto District, Kumamoto Prefecture) where the color of the skin is purple-black, the berries are short-oval and the largest grains are cultivated. It is a fairly early-maturing variety that matures in late. The spread of the tree is large, and the tree vigor is medium. The thickness of the mature shoots is thick, the color is dark brown, the shape of the internode cross section is elliptical, the surface shape is fine grooves, the color of the tip of the shoots is light red, and the tendrils are settled at 2. The number of spikes is medium, the flowering is amphoteric, and the amount of pollen is medium. The shape of the mature leaf blade is pentagonal, the number of splinters is 5, the shape of the cross section of the leaf blade is wavy, the shape of the leaf edge sawtooth is straight on both sides, the general shape of the petiole fissure is open, General shapes overlap, adult leaf size is large, upper surface color is dark green, petiole color is light red, fluff density between lower leaf veins of mature leaves is absent to extremely coarse, fluff on the lower main vein The density is coarse, the density of petiole fluff is absent to very coarse, the ratio of the length of the petiole to the middle rib is short, and the thickness of the petiole is medium. The spikes are thick, long, and light green in color. The shape of the fruit cluster is a divergent cone, the size is maximum, the length is long, the grain size is coarse, the fruit stem is thick, the length is medium, and the color is yellowish green. The shape of the fruit is short oval, the size is maximum, the color of the skin is bluish black or purple black, the amount of powder is large, the thickness of the skin is thick, the separability of the skin and the flesh is medium, and the color of the flesh is uncolored. The flesh is medium, the sweetness is medium, the acidity is low, the astringency is absent to very low, the aroma is absent, the amount of fruit juice is large, the number of seeds is small, the shape is medium, and the size is large. The germination period and flowering period are medium, the maturity period is quite early, and in the growing area, it is late July. The difficulty of coloring the fruit is medium, the flower sway is a little high, the mixture of drupe grains is high, the fruit cracking is low, the strength of the fruit stem is strong, and the separation of the fruit stem and the fruit grain is easy. Compared to “Kyoho Grape” and “Pione”, it is said that the distinction is recognized by the fact that the shape of the fruit is a short ellipse and there is no aroma. “Black beet Grape” is a large-grain grape that has the same flowering period as 'Kyoho Grape', but has good acid reduction and coloring and can be harvested about 10 days earlier than 'Kyoho Grape'. The sugar content is slightly lower than that of 'Kyoho Grape', but the acid content is low, so the taste is light and the taste is good. I heard that by immersing a 25 ppm solution of gibberellin with 10 ppm of Fulmet in a flower (fruit) bunch, it is possible to make a bunch of well-colored, non-nucleated, large-grained voluminous tufts. Enjoy the seedless grapes to the fullest.

Blackbeat grapes are varieties selected and bred from the seedlings born by Takao Kawano（Kono）, who crossed "Fujiminori Grape" with "Pione Grape" in a field in Shiranuhi Town, Uto District, Kumamoto Prefecture in 1990. It is a hybrid variety of excellent pedigree, it looks and tastes good, and although it is a seedless grape, there is little bunch drop.

The Hishiyama district of Katsunuma Town (currently Koshu City), which has a deep history of grape production. The grapes caught in this area are called "Hishiyama brand" by experts who know the taste. The secret to the deliciousness of this grape lies in the slope of the mountain overlooking the Kofu Basin in Yamagata Prefecture. Although the soil in the Hishiyama area is clayey, it is well drained because it is a slope. In addition, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the warmth of the day grows the grapes greatly, and the cold of the night seems to strengthen the sweetness of the grapes. The "Hishiyama brand" was created by accidentally combining favorable conditions such as soil quality, slope, water, and temperature differences. Cultivation of grapes on steep slopes is difficult, and cultivation has a history of extraordinary hardship and trial and error.

According to the Research bulletin of the Kumamoto Prefectural Agricultural Research Center on December 3, 2012, the flowering period is the same as that of Kyoho Grape, but it has good acid reduction and coloring and can be harvested about 10 days earlier than Kyoho Grape. It is a grape. The sugar content is slightly lower than that of Kyoho, but the acid content is low, so the taste is light and the taste is good. By immersing a 25 ppm solution of gibberellin in a flower (fruit) bunch, it seems that it is possible to make a bunch-shaped black beet that is well-colored, has no nuclei, and has a large voluminous feel. It is a valuable resource for workers.

The role of children's cafeterias: Children's cafeterias are free or low-cost cafeterias that children can go to alone, and they play a role in providing meals to children, eliminating the problem of eating alone, providing food education, and even providing a place for community interaction. The two pillars of their activities are child poverty countermeasures and community exchange hubs. Children's cafeterias are a voluntary and independent initiative initiated by the private sector, and are said to have started in 2012 with the efforts of a greengrocer in Ota Ward, Tokyo. In the eight years since their inception (2020), the number has exceeded 3,700 nationwide, and their recognition has increased to the point that 80% of the public responded that they have heard of the term "children's cafeteria."

Kochi Prefecture seems to be soliciting donations from everyone who agrees with the purpose in order to continue to support the efforts of the "Kodomo Shokudo".

(Donations to the prefecture are subject to donation deductions, etc.) A children's cafeteria actually exists to stop poverty and declining birthrate throughout Japan. The reality is that it refers to a community where local residents and local governments take the lead in providing meals to children for free or at low prices. In addition, it seems that it is possible for office workers who return late and families who do not have time to do housework to gather and eat, not just as a place to provide meals for children. In this way, the creation of a "place where many people gather" seems to function as a place for communication among local residents. It is a famous story that the children's cafeteria started with voluntary and voluntary efforts from the private sector. “Shimanto Town, Takaoka District, Kochi Prefecture”, Kubokawa Town, Taisho Town, and Toowa Village merged-Born on March 20, 2006.

Since then, once a year, a temporary hut is built in the square, two cucumbers are offered, and if you take one of the cucumbers that has been offered and eat it, it is said that you will not get sick. This is a traditional event: Sukagawa City Minami Town, Oma Town, Taimatsu Street.

It seems that the 75th Prefectural Fire Fighting Convention was held in Sukagawa City on June 4, 2022, where firefighters in Fukushima Prefecture gathered together to renew their pledge to fire and disaster prevention in the area. As a measure against the new coronavirus infectious disease, the number of participants was limited to about 400, but it seems that the firefighters who gathered at the tournament for the first time in three years confirmed their high aspirations to ensure the safety and security of the area. Chairman Yoshida of the Fukushima Prefecture Fire Fighting Association, who sponsored the event, said, There is a strong need to respond to large-scale and complicated disasters. Must be. “Sukagawa City” is located in the center of Fukushima Prefecture. The official report was announced on January 18, 2005 regarding the abolition of Sukagawa City and Iwase Village on April 1, 2005, which had been applied to the Governor of Fukushima Prefecture on November 12, 2004. Similarly, the official report of Sukagawa City and Naganuma Town was also announced, and the merger of Sukagawa City, Naganuma Town and Iwase Village was officially approved, and the merger of cities, towns and villages created a city with a population of more than 80,000. Fukushima Airport is located in the eastern part, and the Tohoku Expressway is located in the central part. Surrounded by the Abukuma Mountains and the Ou Mountains, the central part has a flat terrain and is a green area with the Abukuma River and the Shakado River. The average annual temperature is 12 degrees Celsius, and the annual rainfall is 1,300 mm, which is relatively warm and has little snowfall. It is one of the leading summer and autumn vegetable producing areas in Japan where many items such as cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants, and green beans are cultivated. Due to the relatively high temperature and summer weather in July and August with the rainy season in between, and the autumn weather, which is relatively unaffected by the cold wind from the northwest, the area is suitable for growing cucumbers, and the yield of summer and autumn cucumbers is high. It is the best in the whole country. Every July, there is a cucumber festival “Kiuri Tenno Matsuri”, which can be called a “cucumber town”. The “Kiuri Tenno Festival” is held every year on July 14th in the center of Sukagawa City. It is said that if you bring two cucumbers, which is a special product of Sukagawa, and bring back another cucumber instead of an amulet, you will not get sick for a year if you eat it. The deity is said to be Miyatuko Hotarahiko, the 17th generation of I wase no Kuni. According to the old record, due to his virtue during his lifetime, he was enshrined in Asahigaoka and was called Iwase Tenno, and since he had a large cucumber field during his lifetime, he became known as “Kiuri Tenno-sama”. One year, a plague spread to this region, and people thought that it was the worship of Tenno Iwase. It seems that no one is suffering from the plague. Then, once a year, a temporary store is built in the open space, and two cucumbers are raised and one cucumber is offered to return home. It is a traditional event that it is said that eating it will not cause illness. In Sukagawa City, cucumber cultivation began in 1954, and under climatic conditions suitable for cultivation, the efficiency of shipping was improved as the movement to form housing estates intensified. It has been designated and has formed the largest summer and autumn cucumber producing area in Japan from 1970 to the present. Since 1970, the cultivation method has been improved rapidly, grafting cultivation and house cultivation, which are now common, have become widespread, and the varieties of agricultural cooperatives in the jurisdiction have been unified. In 1992, the rationalization of shipping standards progressed, but due to the impact of the collapse of the bubble economy, the sales amount, which had been steadily increasing until then, seems to have been sluggish. However, in 1993, winter and spring cucumbers became designated as vegetable production areas, and can be shipped throughout the year. In 1994, an automatic fruit sorting facility went into operation to consolidate the fruit sorting work of each grower. Since then, we have been actively promoting cost reduction, but the problems such as the recent price slump and the aging of growers are issues. As a general cultivation method for summer and autumn cucumbers in the area, open-field cultivation (open-field ordinary cultivation) has been adopted. Although it is greatly affected by weather conditions, it requires less materials and is used by about 80% of growers (at that time: about 60 hectares). Cucumbers dislike over-humidity and poor ventilation in the soil, so it seems important to take measures against drainage in the fields. Specifically, since there are many fields that have been converted from paddy fields in the region, drainage ditches will be dug deeper around the fields and the ridges will be raised so that moisture can be easily managed. A dark pipe with a diameter of 50 to 60 cm for drainage is embedded between the ridges, and a tube or pipe is installed in the ridge in case of drought to enable watering. It is said that high-yielding growers in the area plow soil compost or rye in the fall and winter. Soil compost is made by burying rice straw in the soil to compost it, and uses 2000 kg of rice straw, 100 kg of lime nitrogen, and 60 kg of yorin; Phosphoric acid, silicic acid, magnesium, lime（Molten fertilizer）per 10 ares of field. Sprinkle rice straw cut into small pieces of about 10 cm on the field, sprinkle water, sprinkle lime chisso and yorin, and then reverse plow. Lime chisso and yorin are used for the purpose of promoting the decomposition of rice straw in order to prevent growth disorders that occur when compost is immature. On the other hand, for rye plow, 6 to 10 kg of rye is seeded per 10 ares to make green manure, covered with soil very shallowly, and then compost, bitter lime, yorin, etc. are sprayed in late April of the following spring. It is then cultivated and is done to avoid continuous cropping obstacles. When the true leaves begin to appear 10 to 12 days after sowing, seedlings are “grafted” to make up for the weaknesses of weak cucumbers. In the district, for cucumber varieties, if a certain amount of labor can be secured, varieties with vigorous lateral leaf development and high yield are selected. In this case, be careful not to delay the defoliation. On the other hand, if there is a shortage of labor, labor-saving varieties are selected. Also, if certain diseases are likely to occur in the field, disease-resistant varieties may be selected. Similarly, the variety of rootstock (lower plant: pumpkin seedling) that is grafted with the scion (upper plant: cucumber seedling) is also selected in consideration of the field condition and compatibility with the scion. Seedlings produced by grafting are often infected with viruses during the seedling raising period, so when raising seedlings in a house, cover the openings with an insect repellent net to prevent the invasion of pests. In this case, the air permeability will deteriorate, so thorough control should be taken to prevent diseases caused by over-humidity such as “downy mildew: Pseudoperonospora cubensis”. I heard that the seedling raising period in the house is about one month. Fertilize and mulch the ridges at least 1 month before planting. Mulch aims to secure soil moisture in addition to suppressing the growth of weeds. When 3 to 4 true leaves appear, the quality of rooting greatly affects the subsequent growth, so it is said that they will be planted on a calm and warm day. Immediately before planting, it is important to soak the seedlings in liquid fertilizer and thoroughly water them, and as a countermeasure against pests, the chemicals are mixed with the soil in advance. In the jurisdiction, about 30 days from planting to the start of harvesting is considered appropriate, and for rooting, which is the most important after planting, watering the plant roots (planted seedlings) about 3 times in 10 days after planting is performed. It promotes the vertical growth of roots and produces strong seedlings that are not affected by changes in weather conditions. Yield is said to be related to the “grass appearance” that is determined by the management of female flowers until flowering. The ideal grass shape is that the side branches are well developed, and in addition to that, daily checks such as whether the tendrils are thick and energetic, the leaf color is glossy, and the flowers are facing upward are important, and it grows. Depending on the situation, watering, leaf thinning, fruit thinning and topdressing are performed, and the harvest is reached 2 months after seeding. JA Yume Minami (formerly JA Sugakawa Iwase) has been promoting the cultivation of summer and autumn cucumbers with an insect repellent net (about 1 mm) since 2003. It was introduced as a countermeasure against abnormal weather such as high temperature and cold summer with reference to the efforts of the Aizu region, but it also has the effect of reducing the outbreak of diseases by preventing the invasion of pests, and stable production compared to normal open-field cultivation. It has become possible. Specific merits are not only heat retention effect and avoidance of high temperature, but also reduction of acute wilt disease (Phomopsis black root rot of cucurbit; viral disease in which roots rot and die rapidly) due to pests, and roots after planting because they are not easily affected by wind. The tension is good and hail can be completely prevented. In addition, the number of times of spraying pesticides such as pesticides is reduced by about 30%, and pesticide-reduced cultivation becomes possible. It is important to note that the dew on the leaves dries slowly, so it is necessary to control “downy mildew; Pseudoperonospora cubensis” and “brown spot disease; Corynespora cassiicola (Berkeley and Curtis) Wei” caused by insufficient ventilation. In this case, it is important to maintain a field with sufficient drainage measures and to widen the space between the insect repellent net and the columns to improve ventilation. In addition, since honeybees are released in the net, it is required to use pesticides that have little effect on bees, and since the wind weakens and humidity is secured, the occurrence of side branches becomes vigorous, so diligent defoliation Is required. Although there are some precautions, the growth is promoted and the grass vigor is stable, so the yield and A-grade product rate are higher than in normal open-field cultivation, and the harvest period is extended, which improves the income of growers. Is also connected. The number of farmers cultivating insect repellent nets was 24 (about 3 hectares) in 2003, but increased to 114 (about 20 hectares), which is about 10% of the total, in 2006. The standard facility cost is about 1 million yen per 10 ares, and JA Sugakawa Iwase at that time planned to expand the number of cultivated farmers to about 30% by utilizing subsidy projects in Fukushima Prefecture and other areas. Pollination by releasing honeybees in the net: At the former JA Sugakawa Iwase, in March 1996, in order to save labor in shipping work, a large automatic fruit sorting facility “Kyurinkan” with a daily processing capacity of 90 tons was opened. Started operation. A large facility with a total area of 57,138 km2 (about 1.2 Tokyo Domes), about 40% of the cucumbers harvested in the jurisdiction are sorted and shipped. With the completion of the facility, many farmers were pleased with the fact that they were freed from the fruit sorting and boxing work that they had done so far, and that they had more time to spend with their families and reduced chronic fatigue. At peak times, the entrances are lined up: Looking at the specific flow to shipment, first of all, farmers pack the harvested cucumbers in a dedicated container equipped with a bar code production control system, and at the entrance on the first floor of the facility. I brought it in. After the container is automatically cooled in the pre-cooler, it is transported to the fruit sorting line on the second floor, and each one is checked for size and shape with a dedicated camera, and eight types of standards are used at a speed of three per second. Was sorted out. After that, the boxes are automatically packed in two stages (48 in total) of 24 in a shipping box assembled by a machine in the facility, and after being visually confirmed by the workers, two are added manually and one box is added. It seems that a total of 50 bottles were shipped. Dedicated container for barcode management, cucumbers are sorted one by one, size and shape are determined by a dedicated camera, and two cucumbers are added at the final confirmation. In addition, in order to prevent dandruff (a phenomenon in which the tip expands significantly due to high temperatures), the quality is maintained by a unique initiative of covering the box with moisture-absorbing paper. In addition, bar code management has created a mechanism (traceability system) that allows each box to identify “who brought in the cucumbers at what time”, and has endeavored to improve quality. Moisturizing moisture-absorbing paper, quality maintenance is the first shipment, and before and after “Marine Day” in late July, when the shipment of open-field cucumbers peaked, 100 people are selected and shipped instead of 70 people. , Mainly shipped to Keihin and Kansai areas. Every year, one out of every two cucumbers distributed in the Keihin area from July to August is said to be from Sukagawa. The farmer's market "Hatakenbo", which is a direct sales office, sells fresh vegetables and fruits and handmade processed products. For fruits and vegetables, the producer sets the price himself and handles everything from bagging to delivery. At the time of sale, the “name of the producer” is clearly stated, and it is possible to see at a glance who produced it, and many farmers are participating, saying “I am glad that you can buy it directly.” The operation is completely separated from JA Sugakawa Iwase at that time, and the abundant ideas unique to the direct sales office are utilized in the sales strategy. “Hatakenbo” with the catchphrase “Second rice field and field” : Staff with “food education sommelier” qualifications are stationed at the direct sales office and propose delicious ways to eat to consumers. Introducing the locally popular “cucumber miso soup” and recently the deeply seasoned “cucumber tsukudani”. In addition, many products using cucumber, such as dressings and alcohol, are gaining popularity. Light green noodles called "Kyumenbo", which is made by kneading fresh cucumber juice and blending locally produced Koshihikari rice flour to increase the chewy texture, are on sale. When you put it in your mouth, the refreshing aroma of cucumber spreads, and in addition to the commercially available noodle soup, there is also a “special miso sauce” developed for this product, and a variety of ways to eat it originates from Sukagawa, the home of cucumber. Has been done. These products are made from non-standard cucumbers, which have no problem in taste and nutrition but are bent, which contributes to the effective use of resources. Voices of local producers: Due to normal open-field cultivation, they have been plagued by pest-derived diseases such as aphids for many years. Since it was possible to receive administrative support, insect repellent nets are now being introduced in all fields. Insect repellent net cultivation increased the yield by about 30% and the rate of A-class products. In the past, the harvest season was until mid-October, but it is now possible to harvest until late October. The factor is that the stress on the cucumber is reduced and the life is extended. Not only pests but also wind, rain, sunlight and temperature difference, the insect repellent net has the effect of reducing stress. Cucumber is a vegetable that takes time to harvest. As the insect repellent net improves the growth, it is essential to remove the leaves to improve ventilation, and in the case of the intense heat like this year, the cucumbers get tired from the heat, so use liquid fertilizer containing amino acids, etc. I will spare no effort. Since “the yield cannot be expected without much effort,” the number of cultivated plants was reduced in order to actually balance the working hours. Even so, it seems that the same yield as before is secured by cultivating insect repellent nets. In addition, it seems that they have been working on the cultivation of bloomless cucumbers that do not produce white powder (bloom) on the surface from early on. Use bees for pollination. Cucumber fruits are more pollinated by bees, and it is said that the work of bees is indispensable for the production of good products. Organic fertilizers are used extensively in Sukagawa's proud summer and autumn cucumber cultivation, which boasts the highest production in Japan, and it has an excellent balance of well-balanced moisture and firmness, crisp texture and sweetness. City-designated tangible cultural property building: Iwase Ranch Tamaki Maize Reservoir（Iwase Bokujo corn Chozosho）: In 1880, in the wilderness area called Rokukenbara from Kagamida Village to Maedagawa Village in Iwase District, a cultivated land directly managed by the Imperial Household Ministry of the Imperial Household was set up, and livestock farming equipment and dairy cows were imported directly from the Netherlands. European-style farm management has started. It is a thatched-roof warehouse with a stilt lattice wall that was built at this time. Currently, there are two remaining buildings, with a floor area of 33 km2 on the east side and 59.433 m2 on the west side. Since it is a stilt type with a floor height of 90 cm, it is possible to protect things inside the refrigerator from moisture and small animals, and moderate air enters and exits from the grid-like wall surface, and it seems that it was suitable for storage and storage of food and the like.

Cucumber cultivation began in earnest in Sukagawa City in 1954, and under climatic conditions suitable for cultivation, the efficiency of shipping was improved as the movement to form a housing complex intensified, and in 1966, vegetables for summer and autumn cucumbers. It has been designated as a designated production area and has formed the largest summer and autumn cucumber production area in Japan from 1970 to the present. Since 1970, the cultivation method has been improved rapidly, and grafted cultivation and greenhouse cultivation, which are now common, have become widespread, and it seems that the varieties of the agricultural cooperatives in the jurisdiction have been unified.

It seems that it is cultivated for a long time from March to December by combining open field cultivation and green house cultivation. The cucumbers produced by the rich soil and delicious air are fresh. The original taste of cucumber is tightly packed. Although it is the time of year, greenhouse cultivation starts in late March and ends in mid-December. Open-field cultivation starts in late June, peaks in mid-August, and ends in mid-October.

"Iwase Cucumber", which was designated as a production area in 1966, is crispy due to the summer weather around July to August, which is relatively hot and the rainy season, and the autumn weather, which is relatively unaffected by the cold wind from the northwest. It produces a fresh and fresh taste. In addition, in order to produce this excellent agricultural product, it is important to take measures against drainage in the field because it dislikes over-humidity and poor ventilation of the soil. Specifically, since there are many fields that have been converted from paddy fields in the region, drainage ditches will be dug deeper around the fields and the ridges will be raised to facilitate water management. It seems that a dark pipe with a diameter of 50 to 60 cm for drainage is embedded between the ridges, and a tube or pipe is installed in the ridges in preparation for drought to enable irrigation.
