【Product name】

Green star cabbage

【Type】

Brassica oleracea var. capitata

【Production area/wholesale area】

Yokosuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Hayama Town, Miura District, Zushi City (JA Yokosuka Hayama, Winter and Spring Vegetable Shipping Subcommittee)

【Origin of name】

At the time of 2004, it seems that there was a need to establish a “Green Star(For green (color), [plant] lush, [like a lush plant] youthful, energetic, [fruit] blue, immature, environmental protection [related] ], Environmentally friendly, environmentally conscious, and pollution-free.)” brand, stabilize production, and consider varieties to meet diverse market demands. At the Miura Proving Ground, we are looking for varieties with higher quality and productivity that are as cold-resistant as “Haruharumaru”.  “SC9-455” (Sakata) and “T762” (Takii) were found as promising varieties, and it seems that they were testing while changing the sowing time. Cold resistance is in the order of “SC9-455”, “Haruharumaru”, “T762”, and “Kinshun”. “SC9-455” has the advantage that it produces less purple pigment even in the cold, but unlike other varieties, it seems to be a flat head. Therefore, I heard that it was shipped to the market as a test and was evaluated. In addition, it seems that it was found that the harvest within the year is suitable for “T762”.

【Major features】

Soon, in March 2022, the JA will relocate its current head office in Hayashi 3-chome and establish a new “Kurihama branch” in Kurihama, which integrates the four branches of Kurihama, Kita-Kurihama, Uraga, and Sawara. In addition to consolidating management departments such as the finance and mutual aid business and the general affairs department, it seems that they are planning to hold a morning market by local producers using a part of the site. Construction is currently underway as a complex store that promotes locally grown and consumed and plays a role in revitalizing agriculture, and it seems that it will further strengthen management. Nonprofit organization Hayama Town Development Association (Horiuchi, Hayama Town, Miura District, Hayama Town Library 2F) issued a leaflet entitled “Hayama Wildflowers” in early March 2022. It seems that it is characterized by a size that can be seen in each season and can be folded into a pocket. 64 kinds of flowers are recorded on the front and back of A3 size. It seems that each plant name and Japanese name, classification and habitat, as well as characteristics, size, origin of the name, etc. are stored. It seems that each is divided into the seasons that you can actually see. From familiar species such as ferns, camellia japonica, and sarcandra glabra, to the semi-endangered species “Chelonopsis longipes” (a slightly large perennial plant that grows in the slightly moist valleys and watersides of hills and low mountains. The leaves are thin and the flower pattern is clearly longer than the leaf pattern. Also, the leaves are wide and the length of the flower pattern and the leaf pattern is about the same and short. There are also rare species that live in our daily lives, such as). Along with the completion of the leaflet, related exhibitions will be held until March 31 (Thursday) at the gallery of the town development museum. JA Yokosuka Hayama jurisdiction borders Sagami Bay and Tokyo Bay, and there are many lush hills, and it seems that agriculture is nurtured in an environment blessed with nature. The representative of “Yokosuka vegetables”, cabbage and radish from winter to spring is designated as a national production area, and major crops such as pumpkin, watermelon and melon in summer are evaluated by the market as a brand from the Miura Peninsula. It has gained. In addition, fattening of “Hayama beef(In addition to receiving the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award for the fifth consecutive year, the finest Japanese Black has been proven with numerous honors. A member of the “Miura Peninsula Dairy Association” selects excellent Japanese beef cow pedigree and raises each one with great care. High quality and stable production So, we systematically selected Tajima breeding bulls, which are said to have the best meat quality. Marbled meat is highly evaluated for its sweetness and deliciousness because it is grown on a unique feed containing cooked grains such as rice and tofu lees. It seems that the melting fat melts just by putting it on the palm of your hand.)”, a brand beef representing Kanagawa prefecture, is also carried out. In 2018, the “25th Ordinary General Assembly” was held on June 25th at Yokosuka Bayside Pocket (Honcho, Yokosuka City). At the table, 23 people, including members who have contributed to the agricultural and cooperative movement, were commended. I heard that six bills were submitted at the general assembly, and all the bills were approved by the majority and passed as originally proposed. “Sukanagosso” will hold an “Anniversary Festival” in June. The event was held for a month, and it seems that it was crowded with many visitors. It seems that each event was a great success, with special product sales by sister JA Aizu Yotsuba “Manma-ja” and all-you-can-eat vegetables. Salad purple, which can be eaten deliciously even with salad, is a public-private joint research with a private seed company by the Kanagawa Prefectural Agricultural Technology Center (200ha, 5,000t of eggplant is cultivated and produced in Kanagawa prefecture, but it is eaten as it is after harvesting. It is expected that the demand will increase at a stretch if new eggplant varieties can be cultivated. Therefore, from 2003, the Agricultural Technology Center will collaborate with Sakata Seed Co., Ltd. to cultivate a combination of excellent traits of parents. It seems that he worked on raising new varieties of juicy eggplants using the one-generation hybrid method. As a result of selection and test cultivation of more than 120 strains, the one-generation hybrid strain that was highly evaluated in the field trial was named “Salad Purple”. An eggplant that can be eaten deliciously with salad, which was developed by filing a variety registration application (application number 21565) on October 10, 2007 and registering on March 19, 2009 (registration number 18153). From 2003, we started to grow new varieties that can be easily cooked like salads, and registered the varieties in March 2009. The shape is a little small drawstring type, but because it is a variety that is mixed with water eggplant, it is juicy enough that the juice drips when you squeeze the fruit, and it seems to be heavy when you pick it up. Compared to general varieties, it has a higher sugar content (salad purple about 3.2%, general varieties about 2.8%), and it seems to have the characteristic that it is hard to discolor even after cutting the fruit. It looks the same as an ordinary eggplant, but the skin and flesh are soft, the inside is white when cut, and the crispy texture like an apple is fun when eaten raw. “サラダ紫” has deep purple leaves and seems to have 4 to 5 more flowers than ordinary eggplants. Not only does the fruit have a characteristic purse-string shape, but it is so juicy that the juice drips when the fruit is squeezed. Therefore, the specific density is as high as 0.9 (about 0.6 for ordinary varieties). In addition, it has a higher sugar content than general varieties and does not easily discolor even after cutting the fruit, so it is a completely new type of eggplant that is very delicious even if you eat it as it is like a salad. (Trial cultivation started in Yokosuka City in 2006, and I hear that it is currently cultivated in various parts of Kanagawa Prefecture. JA Yokosuka Hayama, which has a large shipment volume, started co-sale in 2008, and it seems that 12 producers including direct sales are cultivating at 31.6a in 2013. The cultivation method is the same as for ordinary sardines, and the planting is done during the consecutive holidays in May, and the harvest is done in a size of 120 to 130 g that does not fade, but the harvest starts from the end of June and ships from July to October. It seems to be the peak. In addition to being sold at mass retailers in Kanagawa Prefecture via the market, it is also sold at JA direct sales offices. A soft impression with less lye and sweetness.)In order to raise the name and image of vegetables and fruits produced in Yokosuka City, we can see the logo mark that is used uniformly for PR activities and sales promotion of Yokosuka vegetables. This seems to be a simple and playful design that combines typical vegetables produced in the city with “Sukajan; Japanese souvenir jacket” that can imagine the city of Yokosuka nationwide. Yokosuka vegetables four commitments: Vegetables and fruits from Yokosuka that have been exposed to the sea breeze and the sun, the table is gorgeous with various kinds and colors, and the pride and affection of Yokosuka farmers are put into it. Anyone can easily get it in Yokosuka. There are two types of cabbage from the Miura Peninsula, “early spring cabbage” and spring cabbage. “Early spring” is made from late November to early March, and “spring” is made from early March to early May. It seems. Although it overlaps, the characteristic of “early spring cabbage” is that it is soft and sweet even though it is a midwinter cabbage. Thanks to the warm climate of the Miura Peninsula, it is possible to produce seeds cultivated as spring cabbage in other production areas in winter, soil preparation for farmers using a lot of compost, and selection of varieties by the Agricultural Experiment Station and JA. It can be said that it is the result of efforts. “Spring cabbage” is a cabbage that is suitable for raw food because of its softness and sweetness. JA Yokosuka Hayama’s “Winter / Spring Vegetable Shipping Subcommittee” has installed pheromone traps (pest traps) on almost the entire agricultural land in the jurisdiction to practice environment-friendly agriculture that reduces the frequency of spraying pesticides. It seems that one of the pests of cabbage is the larva of Spodoptera litura (Aomushi). In the past, pesticides were used to kill this larva directly, but the pheromone trap seems to be a completely different idea. Male moths, which are adults of Spodoptera litura, are attracted and caught by the female odor (sex pheromone agent), which seems to reduce the incidence of larvae by reducing the chances of mating and the number of eggs laid. Also, it seems that some farmers mix oolong tea grounds and coffee grounds discarded at beverage factories with compost, and use compost of leftover food made at a nearby training facility. The catchphrase for vegetables made on the Miura Peninsula is “natural taste and healthy vegetables.” I heard that the average temperature of cabbage is 20 ℃, which is a relatively cool climate. It seems that growth will decline even at high temperatures of 30 ° C or higher, but it will not die. On the contrary, it grows even at 5 ° C and seems to overwinter at -15 ° C. It seems that the people concerned think that the fact that they are extremely adaptable to the environment and have strong vitality is one of the reasons why they have acquired the status of important vegetables that are indispensable at present. After spending the cold winter months, the cabbage has a physiological phenomenon of trying to bloom when exposed to the warm spring sunshine. The flower buds in the center of the cabbage grow, and the flowers seem to bloom at the tips of the stems. It is often said that this is a “sprout”, but it seems that farmers dislike this phenomenon because the flower buds grow by breaking the rounded cabbage and the commercial value is lost. Currently, I buy and sow the selected F1 seeds, so it seems that there is no need to bloom and pick seeds. Is the important work of leaving offspring for cabbage disliked by farmers? There are many individualities in this agricultural product family, and in addition to the ordinary cabbage that you see on a daily basis, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, call rabies, and leaf peony Is also a member of the Brassicaceae family, and seems to be even more diverse when it comes to relatives. In addition, the scientific basis for the curling of the leaves of these agricultural products seems to be that research data says that the leaves bend inward because there is a difference in hormone formation between the inside and outside of the leaves due to the influence of light. The identity of the hormone is still opaque and has not been completely elucidated, but it is called auxin(The action of loosening the cell wall is known in many plant species. At the plant level, various physiological activities such as tropism to light and gravity, apical bud dominance, eccentric growth, root induction from callus, fruit fruiting, participatory fruiting, and organ detachment are prominent. It has also been elucidated that plants accumulate in the injured area and differentiate the soft cells around the severed vascular bundle into duct cells. Auxin-like active substances are classified into natural auxins and synthetic auxins according to the presence or absence in plants. Natural auxins include indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), and synthetic auxins include 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 1-naphthalene acetate (NPA). It seems. IAA is generally polar auxin transport from shoot apex to root tip, and the fact that this auxin transport is inhibited by auxin polar auxin transport inhibitors has also been elucidated. The genes for transport proteins involved in migration have been cloned, and it seems that transport proteins can be divided into influx carrier protein and efflux carrier protein. Accepted by a nuclear-localized F-box protein called the TIR1 protein. It can be confirmed that the TIR1 receptor promotes proteolysis of the negative regulator Aux / IAA transcription inhibitor in the presence of auxin.)or ethylene; C2H4 ≒ CH2=CH2, and in the experiment, it seems that the amount of ethylene produced is the maximum immediately after the start of heading of cabbage. In other words, it seems that it is the plant hormone ethylene that triggers the rounding of the leaves. Cultivation of cabbage is the second oldest after radish, and it is said to be around 1892. In 1925, it seems that joint shipment of “early cabbage” was carried out in the Takeyama district of Yokosuka city. After that, the planted area gradually increased, but it seems that there were many nostalgic “winter cabbage” and “Kandama; Cold ball cabbage” in terms of varieties. As for the soft cabbage as it is now, a variety called “Kinteki” was cultivated in Miura City in 1966, and this seems to be the first cabbage in early spring. It seems that the cultivar “Kinshun(From Sakata Seed Corporation, it is most suitable for warm regions from the end of the year to early spring, and general regions for the year. Cold resistance is inferior to that of cold ball varieties, but it seems to be slightly stronger than Wase cabbage. The grass shape, balls, and meat quality are very similar to those of the autumn-sown Goku Wase variety. The mesophyll is soft, juicy and sweet, and is popular as an early-maturing cabbage in the market. Since the outer leaves are not too large, it seems to be easy to use for the spring cabbage cropping from April to May. Compared to “Kin type 201”, the grass is slightly larger and the leaves are darker. The ball is one size larger and seems to weigh around 1.5 kg. The tightness is good, but the maturity seems to be a little late. In early spring in warm regions, it seems good to keep in mind the cultivation of healthy seedlings and the timely planting of young seedlings. Planting seems to be done by early October. Since the cold resistance after heading is weak, it seems better to harvest early in the year after heading.)” that is currently being made was introduced in 1977. In 1966, Yokosuka City, along with Miura City, became a designated production area for cabbage based on the Vegetable Production and Shipment Stabilization Law, and more than 50 years have already passed. “Green Star” is the main item of early spring cabbage shipped from the latter half of October to March. While many hard cabbage are shipped in other production areas during the cold season, it seems that they are shipping soft and sweet cabbage by taking advantage of the warm climate of the Miura Peninsula. Spring cabbage is a very soft cabbage that ships from March to May. It’s the perfect variety to eat raw in the early spring when it gets warmer. It has been evaluated as a production area for a long time and is famous as a representative of agricultural products on the Miura Peninsula. The number of varieties called “Haruharumaru”, which is more cold-resistant, is increasing. Sour cabbage suitable for summer sowing in warm regions from January to March from Minamikatae, Jonan Ward, Fukuoka, where the head office of Nippon Agris Co., Ltd. is located. It has excellent low-temperature hypertrophy and cold resistance, and has excellent fieldability because it has a particularly slow fissure. The weight of the sphere is 1.3 to 1.5 kg, and it seems to be a well-matched oblate sphere with a good buttock shape. I heard that the grass is strong, it is resistant to diseases such as Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Xanthomonas campestris pv. Campestris, and it is easy to cultivate.

【Nutrients/functional ingredients】

Protein: macromolecule; Structural proteins make up the body, and functional proteins are proteins involved in digestion, transportation, and chemical reactions. Digestive enzymes such as pepsin(aspartic endopeptidase)and trypsin(Endopeptidase & Serine Protease), which are cut by digestive enzymes and decomposed into small peptides and amino acids, absorbed and digested finely, are also made from amino acids.

Most exist in the “Polyglutamic acid type” (A combination of multiple glutamic acids). I heard that it is absorbed from the epithelial cells of the small intestine after being converted to the “Monoglutamic acid type” (A form in which one glutamic acid is bound) by digestive enzymes in the digestive tract. It is soluble in acids and alkalis, but hardly soluble in pure water or ethanol, and tends to be insoluble in acetone(C3H6O), diethyl ether((C2H5)2O), chloroform(CHCl3), and benzene(C6H6). In the polyglutamic acid type folate, sugar and protein are released and released in the cooking and processing of foods and in the gastric acid environment.It is decomposed into monoglutamic acid-type folic acid by an enzyme in the small intestinal mucosa and then absorbed into the cells of the small intestine.I heard that it is converted to 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid by the enzyme(small intestinal epithelial cell). It is transported to the liver via the portal vein, and 50% of the whole body seems to accumulate. It is converted again and transferred to bile, which is reabsorbed from the digestive tract and supplied to tissues for transfer. It is required to return homocysteine, a risk factor for arteriosclerosis, to methionine.etc.

ビタミンC: C6H8O6: Discovered as a Skorbut preventive factor by Royal Navy doctor James Lind in 1753. It removes rust from water-soluble parts of the body, such as blood and the crystalline lens of the eye, and also restores tired vitamin E. It is absorbed mainly from the small intestine as it is without being digested by the stomach. It is then carried in the blood, stored and dispersed throughout the body. It is characterized by its “antioxidant effect”, which inhales, captures a small amount of active oxygen obtained, and detoxifies it. Excessive growth damages DNA or Protein and reduces cell function.

ビタミンU: C6H15NO2S+: S-methylmethionine: Effects of Nitrogen Fertilization and Cropping Season on the Vitamin U Concentration in Cabbage, Vitamin U (VU) concentration in cabbages harvested in Hokkaido ranged from 7.0 – 66.2 mg kg −1, and the mean was 28.9 mg kg −1 (1996-1998, n= 92). Among cropping seasons, the mean VU concentration in cabbages was highest in July (40.6 mg kg −1), then declined gradually until October (13.2 mg kg −1). VU concentration in cabbages increased with increases in applied nitrogen (N) fertilizer, or growth in fields with higher N fertility, and in summer cropping rather than autumn cropping. In the case of cabbbage production using organic matter to reduce usage of chemical fertilizer, the VU concentration in cabbage grown with fish meal (fast-N-release) was higher than that growth with rice bran (slow-N-release). These results indicate that changes in VU concentration in cabbages depend on N nutritional condition(Hokkaido Central Agricultural Experiment Station and Hokkaido Ornamental Plant and Vegetable Research Center, Horticultural research (Japan) 2004).

スルフォラファン: C6H11NOS2; Detoxification enzyme inducing activity(Determining the catalytic role of remote substrate binding interactions in ketosteroid isomerase: Enzymes that catalyze the transfer of double bonds in steroidal substrates)

The photochemical decomposition of AAH2 was greatly accelerated by the existence of chlorophyll a and pheophytin, and the photodecomposition rate was also promoted with Cu-chlorophyllin-Na and Fe-chlorophyllin-Na, especially, by the former.Cu-chlorophyllin-Na itself oxidized AAH2. 2. The photodecomposition of chlorophyll-AAH2 system was protected with the co-existence of K3 Fe (CN) 6, p-quinone and β-carotene. However, the effect of p-quinone seems to be accelerated the photodecomposition of chlorophyll-AAH2 system in higher concentration. 3. Chloropyll, and pheophytin have comparatively strong fluorescence intensity, whereas Cu-chlorophyllin-Na and Fe-chlorophyllin-Na have week fluorescence intensity. The mutuality relationship was found between the fluorescence intensity of the reaction system and the photochemical decomposition of AAH2. Hiroshima Univ.

カリウム: K; Adult: Potassium: 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.

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.

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.

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.

クロム: Cr; Usually, it is in the state of trivalent chromium and hexavalent chromium. Although its content in food is extremely low, it is involved in the metabolism and maintenance of sugars, cholesterol, connective tissue and proteins in vivo. It does not rust in the air or water, but what is interesting is that it dissolves in hydrochloric acid and dilute sulfuric acid. It is absorbed mainly in the small intestine, but its intestinal absorption mechanism has not been clarified. The only mineral whose content in the body decreases with age. Complete venous nutrition that does not contain it or high-calorie infusion may cause impaired glucose tolerance. However, there is room for improvement of symptoms by supplementing Cr chloride. Insufficiency may lead to decreased insulin sensitivity, abnormal nitrogen metabolism, weight loss, peripheral neuropathy, stupor, and corneal disorders.

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.

Early spring cabbage “Green Star” is the main item of early spring cabbage shipped from the latter half of October to March. While many hard cabbage are shipped in other production areas during the cold season, we are shipping soft and sweet cabbage by taking advantage of the warm climate of the Miura Peninsula. Spring cabbage is a very soft cabbage that ships from March to May. The best variety to eat raw in the early spring when it gets warm. It has been evaluated as a production area for a long time and is popular as a representative of agricultural products on the Miura Peninsula.

On the Miura Peninsula, many sweet and raw cabbage varieties are produced. Since the leaves are very soft, they are harvested leaving the outer leaves so that they will not be scratched when shipping, and they are carefully wrapped and put in cardboard. By doing this, it seems that the freshness will last longer. The price is a little higher than other production areas, but it is a proof that the quality is evaluated by the market people who are experts in vegetables.

The agricultural products direct sales office “Sukanagosso (Nagai)” is a direct sales office that delivers seasonal fresh agricultural products by exhibiting vegetables that are proud of being grown by about 400 producers of JA Yokosuka Hayama. As an antenna shop that sends out “local food” that consumes locally produced ingredients, the store has a wide selection of morning-picked vegetables, flowers, and Hayama beef (produced in Kanagawa Prefecture / Miura Peninsula). A general term for Japanese black beef. Members of the “Miura Peninsula Dairy Association” select excellent Japanese beef cow pedigree and raise each one with great care. High quality, stable production and the best Tajima-type sire, which is said to be meat quality, is systematically selected. High-quality feed (marbled meat is self-mixed with heated grains such as rice and tofu lees), wasteful fat content is reduced, and the finest beef. It seems that it sells various products such as eggs and handmade side dishes. The soft serve ice cream from the local Sekiguchi ranch is also delicious and popular.

In early March 2022, a child in Karatsu picked up a ginkgo that had fallen from a maiden hair tree in an elementary school and donated a portion of the money he earned to support Ukraine in Eastern Europe. Ukrainian people are having a lot of trouble from the children, so please use it. It is said that it was the children of Ikisa (Ochi Town) Elementary School who donated 20,000 yen to the Karatsu City Council of Social Welfare. Every year at the elementary school, as part of the comprehensive study, all the school children and staff collect the ginkgo nuts that have fallen from the maiden hair tree, which is said to be over 170 years old, and sell them to local facilities. The yield is about 100 kg and the sales are 90,000 yen, which is the highest ever, and it seems that they have decided to donate a part of 20,000 yen for the Ukrainians. Water and food will eventually run out, so it seems that donations will be sent to the Ukrainian Humanitarian Crisis Relief Fund of the Japanese Red Cross Society through the Karatsu City Council of Social Welfare to use it as money to buy water and food. Intensifying fighting across Ukraine has left many citizens in tension and anxiety. Citizens’ casualties, including children, have already been reported, and the infrastructure essential to civilian life has been severely damaged. Also, fearing the damage of the conflict, many people seem to have evacuated to Poland, Romania, Slovakia, etc. In response to this situation, the Japanese Red Cross is the International Committee of the Red Cross, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, the humanitarian crisis response in Ukraine carried out by the Red Cross of each country, and neighboring countries and other countries that accept refugees from Ukraine. We are looking for overseas relief funds to support the relief activities in Ukraine. The domestic grapefruit “Sagan Ruby”, which is rare in Japan, is harvested every year in Karatsu City. “Sagan Ruby” is a grapefruit that was researched and developed by the Faculty of Agriculture, Saga University about 33 years ago, and was registered as the first variety in Japan in 2013, about 9 years ago. At the house of about 5 ares in the Hada district of Karatsu city, it seems that the Kagami Fruit Agricultural Cooperative in the district has been cultivating for about 18 years. According to the Kyoka Fruit Agricultural Cooperative Association, there are currently two cultivated “Sagan Ruby” in Karatsu City and one in Kashima City. The number of producers is steadily increasing, and the cultivation area will continue to expand. A citrus variety developed by the Faculty of Agriculture under the university brand of Saga University (Saga City, Saga Prefecture). It is a citrus fruit similar to grapefruit, and it is cold-resistant and easy to grow in Japan. It seems that efforts are being made with the cooperation of the Saga Agricultural Cooperative Association (Saga City) and local farmers. “Sagan Ruby” was registered as a trademark in April 2008 (No. 5131519). The right holder is Saga University, a national university corporation. Kuchinotsu, Minamishimabara City, Fruit Tree Experiment Station, Citrus Club (Kuchinotsu, Minamishimabara): It takes about 15 years to develop and nurture. Friends of Nagasaki Koi(Yearning)Mikan(Mandarin); “Setoka” : It is famous as a tangor that was bred by crossing “Murcott” with kiyomi with Angkor No. 2 of the breeding system. A small-nucleus variety with large fruits, soft and juicy, aroma, high sugar content and good taste. Middle-aged Citrus L. matures from January to February. The fruit surface is smooth, the fruit shape is oblate with a high waist, and the skin is orange to dark orange. Thin, easy to peel, with a medium aroma similar to Angkor or Murcott. The flesh is dark orange, the sac is thin, the flesh is soft and juicy, and the number of seeds tends to be small, about 0-5. And it seems that parthenocarpy(Ovary wall and flower bed enlarge and form fruit without fertilization)is strong. The fruiting is good and it is easy to get results every year. Strong tendency to streptomyces spp., Xanthomonas campestris pv. citri. It is Susceptibility against citrus tristeza virus (ctv), and the incidence of stem pitting(Easily propagated by Toxoptera citricida Kirkaldy, and also propagated by cotton aphids at a low rate)is high. Since one ball is heavy, it is necessary to manually support it so that the branches do not break due to its own weight as it grows.

Plant Variety Protection and Seed Act, Act No. 83 of May 29, 1998 : 25 years of breeder’s rights ; National Agriculture and Food Research Organization, NARO.Unique sweetness, chewy texture, and wonderful fragrance. Citrus “Three great elements.” The history of Nagasaki mandarin is that in 1780, the Omura feudal lord, “Sumiyasu OHMURA”, the Satsuma feudal “Nagashima mandarin” (Izumi District (former: Azuma Town) Nagashima-cho, Wenshu mandarin), and Ikiriki Village, Nishisonogi District (currently Isahaya). It is said that the cultivation was started by Mr. Yuiemon Tanaka, Mr. Rinemon Tanaka, and Mr. Tsuguemon Nakamichi of the city, formerly Tarami Town, Nishisonogi District. (Citrus Unshiu has heard that the seeds brought back from China by the envoy to Tang China began to bear fruit and were found in Kagoshima. High-quality “Satsuma mandarin” was cultivated from the Ikiriki region, and saplings began to be shipped nationwide, and it is called “Ikiriki-based Satsuma”. In 1876, it seems that oranges were sold by hand in the castle town. In addition, from around 1887, the production area of mandarin oranges was expanded in Ikiriki Village, and even today, the area is the main production area in Nagasaki Prefecture. From 1961, “Act on Special Measures for Promotion of Fruit Tree Agriculture (Government Ordinance No. 145)”, the Nagasaki Prefecture Citrus Promotion Plan was formulated, and the citrus cultivation area increased rapidly throughout the prefecture. Demand for fruit trees in Japan is generally declining and stagnant, and there is a growing tendency for small quantities to be sold as other items and for good quality. Many fruits, including mandarin oranges, are in overproduction. There are increasing demands from other countries to expand imports of fruits and fruit products. In order to achieve sound development, it is necessary to deal with the overproduction trend of fruits. Induce production that responds to trends. Fostering independent fruit tree farmers who can be the core players in the production area. And it is necessary to further strengthen the constitution of fruit tree agriculture. The system for promoting fruit tree agriculture was strengthened(Partial amendment of Law No. 15, July 1, 1985). From NARO, the fruit of Setoka is a large fruit of 200 to 280 g, the fruit surface is smooth, and the fruit shape is oblate with a high waist. The pericarp is orange to dark orange, thin and easy to peel. It has a medium aroma similar to that of Angkor or Murcott, and has a good taste with a ripening period of February and a sugar content of 12 to 13%. The flesh is dark orange, the sac is thin, the flesh is soft and juicy, and the number of seeds is small at about 0-5. It is also characterized by its strong parthenocarpy. The tree is medium to slightly weak, and the tree is medium to open. The fruiting is good and the results are planned every year. It is strong against Elsinoë fawcettii(Wart-shaped or scab-shaped lesions on leaves, fruits, and branches. Citrus unshiu is weak and rarely occurs in midnight citrus, but lemon is weak.  Wart-type lesions occur by the middle stage of spring leaf elongation, and lesions occur even after the end of elongation. Wart-type lesions form up to 1 cm in diameter in fruits, and lesions form above that.), Xanthomonas citri subsp. Citri(Occurs on leaves, green branches and fruits. The lesions on the spring leaves are initially round, pale yellow, and water-soaked spots, which later expand to cork in the central part and become rough, and the circumference 0.5 mm width is water-soaked and further around. Produces a fairly wide yellow halo. The lesions on the back of the leaves are also corked and rough, but it seems to be a light brown raised scab. In summer and autumn leaves, citrus leaf miner often invades through wounds such as feeding damage and wind sway, so it seems that lesions generally tend to form along the wound. The petioles are also easily affected and the leaves fall violently. On the fruits and green branches, water-soaked dark green lesions are formed at first, and then they become cork and become light brown raised scabs. Overwintering lesions on leaves and branches are the primary source of transmission, but lesions on treetops in summer and autumn are especially important. In addition, in Spring cankers infected at relatively low temperatures in autumn, the amount of pathogenic bacteria released is even higher than in the lesions of summer-autumn treetops, making it more important as a source of transmission. The leaves are infected with stomata from the new leaf development stage to the growth arrest stage, and then when the tissue hardens, it is infected from the wound caused by the wind and the feeding damage scars of Phyllocnistis citrella. The main infection period for spring leaves is from early May to mid-June. Following the infection of spring leaves, it seems that the infection is repeated to spring branches and summer and autumn treetops. Infection of fruits is from immediately after flower fall to late September, mainly by secondary infection from leaves. Winds and rains accompanied by strong winds with wind speeds of 6 to 8 m or more, especially typhoons in summer, are the most important factors that promote the onset of disease. There is a difference in resistance depending on the type of citrus, and I heard that Satsuma mandarin is moderate.), is susceptible to citrus tristeza virus (CTV), and seems to have a high incidence of stem pitting. As an aside, the mid-late citrus “Setoka” seems to produce a certain amount of softened fruits with low sugar and high acidity, mainly in greenhouse cultivation. Greenhouse-grown “Setoka” is often sold as a high-class fruit in units of one, and it seems that such low-quality fruits may rarely be subject to complaints from consumers. The quality of softened fruits during the harvest period is slightly smaller than that of normal fruits, the skin color is yellow, and the skin is thin. It seems that the fruit surface is smooth and the fruit is soft. Brix in fruit juice is about 30% lower than normal fruit, and acid seems to be about 40% higher.  Fruits two months before harvest, which is the coloring period, tend to be late in coloring. Regarding the details of the components in fruit juice, fructose, glucose, and sucrose that make up sugar are all low, and sucrose, which is the main sugar, is about 70% lower. In addition, the content of almost all amino acids composed is low, and the total amount of all amino acids seems to be about 30% lower. The incidence rate by fruit set site is particularly high in the inside, and it seems that it is estimated to be about 12%. The incidence of other parts is 1 to 4%, and it seems to be about 3% on average. In the fruit of softening disease, the photosynthetic product made from the leaves did not transfer from the fruit stalk (fruit axis) to the fruit by the experiment using the stable isotope of carbon, and the phloem (fruit axis) by microscopic observation. It has been confirmed that callose (β-1,3-glucan), which is a kind of polysaccharide, is accumulated in the phloem in the fruit stalk). It seems that callose blocks the phloem and inhibits the translocation of photosynthetic products to the fruit, leading to quality deterioration. It seems that the methods to prevent the shipment of softened fruits are to remove the inner fruits as much as possible at the time of fruit picking and to pick small fruits that are late in coloring during the coloring period about 2 months before harvesting. In addition, it seems that fruits that are slightly softened by small balls that are yellowish compared to fruits with a normal appearance are excluded at the time of harvesting or home sorting. If a joint fruit sorting plant with an optical sensor is available, it seems effective to eliminate fruits with low sugar content. Consumers should choose a uniform color, a smooth surface, a glossy surface, and a bluish tint on the calyx. Also, the ones that feel heavy when you hold them are delicious with a lot of juice. The shape may be more delicious if it is flat than if it is tall. “Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture” : It is located in the northwestern part of the prefecture. The city area covers about 36 km east-west and about 30 km north-south, with a total area of about 487.60 km2. It occupies about 20% of the whole prefecture. The eastern part of the city is Itoshima City and Saga City, Fukuoka Prefecture. The southern part is Taku City, Takeo City, and Imari City. The western part borders Matsuura City, Nagasaki Prefecture, separated by Genkai Town and Imari Bay. The northern part faces the Genkai Sea. In the eastern part, the Sefuri mountain range slopes gently toward Karatsu Bay. The central part has a flat part along the basin of the Matsuura River, and the western part has a hilly Uwaba plateau. Karatsu Bay, which forms the land, has strip-shaped Matsubara and sandy beaches on both wings, and Takashima is located in the center of the bay. etc. Agriculture : Early paddy field remains including continental ground stoneware and carbonized rice were concentrated and discovered in the northern Kyushu region, such as the Itazuke site located at Hakata Ward, Fukuoka City, Nabatake site located at Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture, Magarita site located at Fukuoka Prefecture and Notame site located at Fukuoka Prefecture. The essence of art that connects the modern era to the future. Traditional ceramic art of ‘Karatsu ware’ dates all the way back to the Momoyama period. In the beginning of karatsu ware, cloudy straw ashes glaze was used frequently. But after the Meiji Restoration, karatsu ware lost the clan’s patronage, and the number of kilns which canceled production increased, they doubted whether it continued. ‘Ichiraku 2 Hagi 3 Karatsu’ : Designated as a traditional Japanese craft along with the branch Takeo Kokaratsu ware. Tadazane’s younger brother, the Lord of the Mikawa-Yoshida Domain (present-day Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture), and Tadatomo OGASAWARA (whose descendants were lords of Karatsu Domain, Hizen Province [present-day Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture] at the time of the Meiji Restoration) invited Sohen Yamada, one of the ‘Four Heavenly Kings’ (as the closest followers of the founder of the Sansenke(Omote, Ura, Mushakoji(Kankyu hermitage))tea ceremony, SEN no Sotan, were known), to revive the matcha ceremony, though separately from the Ogasawara style. Tadazane(Shimousa Country Koga Castle : Mr. Fuchu Ogasawara)stayed the position as the lord of the Kokura Domain until the end of Edo period and the line of Tadatomo which was relocated to some places, was finally relocated to the Karatsu Domain, Hizen Province (presently Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture) holding 60,000 koku and the line of Nagatsugu was finally relocated to the Anji Domain, Harima Province (presently Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture) holding 10,000 koku as the result of change of rank due to misrule and extinction of the family line. Now, let’s return to the story of mandarin oranges. This is a bud mutation of Wase  Miyagawa found by Hisahiko UENO(Ueno-Wase)of Hamatama Town, Higashimatsuura District, (today’s Karatsu City,) Saga Prefecture in 1970, and was registered as a new variety in 1985. Also, It is a bud mutation of Miyakawa-wase found by Mr. Hirofumi Morita(Morita Citrus Unshiu)of Nanayama Village, Higashimatsuura District (today’s Karatsu City,) Saga Prefecture, and was registered as a new variety in 1980. A long-established company that the city is proud of Miyajima Soy Sauce Co., Ltd. (founded a soy sauce brewery in Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture in 1882. About 140 years of continuous production of soy sauce and miso, which can be said to be the origin of Japanese food. It is said that he continues to seek more delicious, rich and reliable taste while responding to the voices of people and the times. Based on traditional fermentation technology, various sauces, powdered soy sauce, liquid soy sauce, brewed meat sauce, etc. It seems that it has expanded the range of food manufacturing technology to noodle soup, dressing, spices, canned foods, retort foods, frozen foods. Creating the future from the origin of deliciousness.) Is a short movie, delicious is connecting omoi. Will be delivered from 12:00 on January 13, 2022 (Thursday). The concept of the image is delicious, but it seems to connect thoughts. An excellent older sister who is loved by everyone. She has mixed feelings about her sister and she hates her sister. The lunch box that her sister cooks with her thoughts gently draws the heart of her sister who has left her. And the taste of her sister’s bond was the taste of her mother, who had long been accustomed to it. Delicious is something that connects people’s feelings. It seems that the “family bond” is expressed through the story of the sisters. With the idea of “connecting people and supporting people’s happiness through food,” this work, delicious, connects people’s thoughts.  Was produced.

The new varieties that NARO has developed so far are lined with influential agricultural products such as Setoka ORANGE and Harumi ORANGE, which are still popular today, but behind the history of these varieties being accepted by consumers. , It seems that the steady efforts that have been accumulated over the years are hidden. In a new breeding method that incorporates the latest genomic technology, buds are sprouting from fruit seeds produced by crossing parent varieties, and at that point, DNA sequence data is examined to extract excellent individuals. Even at the stage of sprouting, it seems that predictive models and computer analysis will give some idea of what kind of fruit will be produced. Since it is not necessary to grow the selected individual into a large tree until the fruit arrives, the speed of new variety development will be greatly increased. Recently, it seems that the accuracy of prediction has improved and the range of applications has expanded due to the mathematical and statistical analysis of a large amount of DNA information such as genomic selection and genome-wide association study. It seems that the entire genome of citrus fruits other than Satsuma mandarin has been deciphered.

Since greenhouse cultivation is carried out in the northern part of Saga and open field cultivation is mainly carried out in the southern part, it seems that the climate of Saga, such as average precipitation, is well matched to the cultivation. Also, because it is blessed with abundant land and pure water, it is very sweet and fragrant, so in recent years it has been attracting attention because it has no habit and is delicious. Due to its high popularity, the market value has increased and it remains difficult to obtain.

The north and east of Kamiijiri Village is Chino Village, and the west is the FUEFUKI River that flows south. The place name comes from the ancient market. Daishogiri: Farmers demand tax reduction and exemption in response to the restoration reform, and rehabilitation and revolt occur frequently – UPRISING M5 6000 farmers in 97 or villages in Kuribara and Manriki in 2 counties are standing up against.

【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.

In the southern part of Minamikyushu City, the Japanese white radish for Japanese pickles, which is a specialty of Minamikyushu, reaches the sun drying season every year. Ei, Kagoshima is a feature of the season; something characteristic of a particular season, when a cold wind blows on a hill overlooking Mt. Kaimondake. The turret, which is made of bamboo in a triangular shape, looks white in the soft sunlight. Work will begin in mid-November and will continue until mid-February the following year. The Ibusuki Agricultural Cooperative is located at the southern tip of the Satsuma Peninsula in Kagoshima Prefecture.  It was established on March 1, 1993 by a wide-area merger of five agricultural cooperatives in Ibusuki City and the former Ibusuki District.  Due to the merger of cities, towns and villages since 2004, Ibusuki City (Ibusuki District, Kaimon District, Yamakawa District), Kagoshima City Kiire Town (Kiire District) and Minamikyushu City Ei Town (Ei District) are within the jurisdiction. About 90% of the 8400 hectares of cultivated land in the jurisdiction is upland farming, and there is a field irrigation facility that uses the water of Lake Ikeda, the largest caldera lake in Kyushu created by volcanic activity. As for items, it seems that highly profitable agriculture is being developed centering on vegetables, tea, flowers, etc. that take advantage of the warm climate.  (The Yamakawa area, which is known as the warmest area in the JA jurisdiction, is the largest lake in Kyushu, taking advantage of the warm climate with an average annual temperature of 18 degrees Celsius. It seems that it has blessed cultivation conditions such as being able to use water without any shortage because it is irrigated.)  Ibusuki City, Kagoshima Prefecture, Located at the mouth of Kagoshima Bay, the southernmost tip of the Satsuma Peninsula. It is a city of food and good luck full of flowers and greenery. There is rich nature there. The area is 148.84 km2. The east confronts the Osumi Peninsula across Kinko Bay(Kagoshima Bay: Sakurajima is located in the northern part of the bay. In 1914, Sakurajima and Osumi Peninsula were connected by land in sakura island taisho era great eruption.). Adjacent to Kagoshima City, the capital of the prefecture in the north, and Minamikyushu City, where upland fields spread in the west. In the south, facing the East China Sea, it boasts a scenic view, and in the center, Ikeda Lake, which boasts the largest size in Kyushu, is scattered. The largest caldera Lake in Kyushu with a circumference of 15 km and a maximum water depth of 233 m. Clear indigo, you can see Mt.Satsuma(Mt. Shuho Kaimondake – Altitude 924 m), a giant mottled eel(Anguilla marmorata: Ibusuki City Natural Monument)with a body length of 2 m and a waist circumference of 50 cm. Nagasakibana(It is said that Taro Urashima is a cape that has left for Ryugu.)with a tropical mood in the south. In the eastern part, there is Chiringa Island(An uninhabited island that floats at the entrance of Kagoshima Bay and connects to the Satsuma Peninsula by a sandy road at low tide. From 2001), which has been certified as one of the 100 best Kaori landscapes by the Ministry of the Environment, which is connected to the land by the ebb and flow of the tide. The Kirishima Fire Mountains run through the entire area, and it is blessed with abundant hot springs, including the natural sand bath(Hot spring in the broad sense (hot springs defined by the law: In order to be defined as hot springs, according to the Japanese Hot Spring Law, water in question is not necessarily required to be hot so long as it is natural and special water that is different from normal water (mineral water) or it gushes out together with volcanic gas (refer to the definition of hot springs).)that is unique in the world. It is also represented by Shimizu, which produces 100,000 t a day. The area around the tousen gorge, which is famous with somen sinks, has been certified as one of the 100 best water towns by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. There are many historically valuable archaeological sites such as the ancient Hashimure River ruins(Below Mr. Kosaku Hamada – 1917〜1918)and Mizusako ruins(Upper Paleolithic era around 15,000 years ago.). The average annual temperature is as high as about 18 degrees Celsius due to the influence of warm currents, and it has a warm and subtropical climate(subtropical and temperate climates).

We have pledged not to use anything other than registered pesticides in accordance with these. Traceability system: Established assigners number to registered producers and sorter number to sorters.etc. “Ibusuki” is the largest producer of snap-beans in Japan. Previously, it was cultivated in spring cultivation in the United States. Japanese general pea cropping: Autumn sowing cultivation in the open field is from Kanto to the west. Spring cultivation in high cold areas and cool areas in Tohoku, and the same in general areas. Ibusuki; Early sowing will be sowing in late August and normal season culture will be sowing in mid-September. Harvesting begins within the year and can be harvested until early May. The harvest time is Warm-season, about 25 days after flowering. Perform when the grain is enlarged and the pod is still bright green and looks good. 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.

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.
