In order to conduct fair elections, based on Article 181 of the Local Autonomy Law (Law No. 67 of 1947), a council-based executive body independent from the mayor established in prefectures and municipalities. Based on the regulations, manage the affairs related to the election of the ordinary local government, the country, other local governments and other public bodies and the affairs related thereto-Article 7 of the Public Offices Election Law (Law No. 100 of 1950): Election Control Ensuring the fairness of voters-When you turn 18, you have the right to choose a representative.

There is a record that Dainichizuka on Mt. Kono was presented during a land survey by Ina Bizennokami Tadatsugu（1550-1610: Local expert ﹦Agricultural administration bureaucrat ≈ 地方巧者（農政官僚））during the Kan'ei era (1624-1643), and it is said that there was already a zelkova tree there at that time. In the Meiji era, Iinuma Elementary School was built on the site, and in 1978, the site was left as land owned by Katori Shrine within the grounds of Ishige Nishi Community Center, where it remains to this day. Years of wind and rain have caused the mound's fill to wash away, exposing the zelkova roots, and although a hollow has developed around the base, the tree is in excellent health. The trunk circumference is 520cm at its eye level. The 1600s marked the end of an age of war and the beginning of an era of large-scale development and the expansion of cultivated land. In the 1700s, the glory of the Genroku era came to an end and a period of disasters followed. The Shogunate's management also became increasingly difficult, and various reforms were carried out, including the Kyoho Reforms. In the 1800s, social contradictions became even more serious, leading to the opening of the country under external pressure and the Meiji Restoration.

【Main features】

The Kinugawa River, which flows through the central part of the city, is the symbol of the city, and the city limits are built in the basin of the Kinugawa River. The eastern lowlands of the Kinugawa River are made up of vast paddy fields, while the western part is a hilly area, where you can see villages, farmlands, and lush flatland forests. A natural forest of evergreen trees such as oaks can be seen used as hedges to protect against wind and fire. In addition, while there are developments such as golf courses, there are many animals and plants unique to Satoyama Landscape. Sugo Swap, located on the border with neighboring Bando City, is designated as a suburban green conservation area and a natural environment conservation area, and is a valuable place where you can observe the nature unique to wetlands. There are also facilities such as 'Asunaro no Sato' to deepen contact with nature. The Ishige area became the home of the Taira no Masakado Rebellion during the Heian period, and a regional exchange center modeled after a castle has been built on the site of the residence of the Toyoda clan, who ruled until the Sengoku period. The producer, Mr. Yasuhiko Sotome, is an auditor of the Shimodate Tax Association and has a seat in the Mamusubi Taxpayer Savings Association Federation. According to the National Tax Agency, in August 1945, Japan accepted the Potsdam Declaration, marking the end of the war. In 1948, about 8 million demand letters were sent because the economy was in a state of bankruptcy due to social turmoil and tax hikes that had continued since the war, and the war damage caused the economy to collapse. However, the rate of delinquency occurrence (ratio of newly occurring delinquency to the amount of tax to be paid) is about 40%, and tax revenue is in a crisis. For this reason, in January 1948, an emergency tax payment countermeasures committee was established within the Ministry of Finance, consisting of members of the media and film industry. In 1949, the National Tax Agency was established and the Public Relations Division was established, and public relations activities were carried out mainly by the National Tax Agency, the Regional Taxation Bureau, and the Tax Office. In 1954, in order to obtain the understanding and cooperation of taxpayers and reflect them in smooth tax administration, the “Month to Hear the Voices of Taxpayers” (currently “Tax Consideration Week”) was established. A system was created to reflect this in the administration. The tax payment cooperatives that existed since the Meiji period were abolished in 1947 because of incidents such as the union executives intervening in tax collection, which was considered by the GHQ to hinder democratic tax payment, but tax revenues declined after the war. In light of this, the 1951 tax payment savings association law made a new start as a tax payment savings association. The collection system also evolved to improve convenience for taxpayers, and in 2003, payment by Internet banking was established, and in 2008, a tax payment system at convenience stores was enacted. In addition, he will be chairman of the Election Commission (Mitsukaido Suwa Town) on April 28, 2021 and will serve until December 25, 2023. Election administration commissions are administrative committees established in prefectures and municipalities based on Article 181 of the Local Autonomy Law, and are independent from the governors and mayors of municipalities, which are the executive organs of general administration. Established as an organization to manage election-related affairs so that elections are held fairly and properly, it is composed of four members elected by the assembly. In addition, a secretariat has been set up to carry out the affairs related to the election administration committee. It seems that not only during elections, but also on a regular basis, they are preparing electoral lists and conducting enlightenment projects to raise voter's political awareness. As an organization, the number of commissioners will be four, who are entitled to vote and elected by members of the city council. The chairperson shall be elected from among the committee members. The term of office is four years and can be reappointed. Joso City is located in the southwestern part of Ibaraki Prefecture, within 55 kilometers from the city center, with Tsukuba City and Tsukubamirai City in the east, Bando City in the west, Moriya City in the south, and Yachiyo Town and Shimotsuma City in the north. touch. It stretches about 20 kilometers from north to south and about 10 kilometers from east to west, with an area of 123.64 km2. The altitude is about 5 to 24 meters, and the climate is of the Pacific type, and it is mild throughout the four seasons. The Kinugawa River, a class A river, runs through the center, and the eastern lowlands are vast paddy fields. The western part of the city is hilly, with villages, fields, and flatland forests, but housing complexes, industrial complexes, golf courses, etc. have also been developed, and urban functions are being strengthened as a suburban development zone. As for the road system, National Route 294 runs north-south through the city, and National Route 354 runs east-west. In addition, there are major local roads and general prefectural roads that connect with surrounding municipalities. In addition, the Metropolitan Inter-City Expressway has opened almost in the center of the city, and it seems that the development of a wide-area road network is progressing. Regarding railways, the Kanto Railway Joso Line runs from north to south, connecting Toride with Shimotsuma / Chikusei, and connecting with the Tsukuba Express at Moriya. Apparently. Regarding the current situation of Joso City agriculture, in the western part of the Kinugawa River, paddy fields and hilly upland areas are mixed, and the conditions are very suitable for the production of agricultural products. Although many kinds of agricultural products such as fruit trees and livestock are produced, the city does not have a specific agricultural product as its main product, and it seems that it is difficult to produce branded agricultural products that boast a certain market share. In addition, we set up a certified farmer's association consisting of five subcommittees: "normal crops," "greenhouse vegetables," "outdoor vegetables," "flowers," and "livestock farming." It seems that he is working every day to improve his business management ability. In addition, 15 farmers, consisting of an agricultural manager, a female farmer, and a young farmer, are working as local leaders to secure and train successors and revitalize agriculture. In addition, there are eight direct sales stands for agricultural products in the city, where motivated small-scale farmers interact with consumers in a community-based manner. This seems to play a role in the revitalization of the region. In the area around the Joso Interchange currently under planning, we will promote the Agriscience Valley concept, strengthen production, processing, distribution, and sales, and cooperate with farmers and related organizations while considering exchanges that make use of agriculture. It preaches that it will lead to the revitalization of agriculture by promoting the sixth industrialization and regional branding. However, he also says that the main problems and issues facing agriculture in the city are as follows. Aging and Declining Farmers in Recent Years According to the national agricultural and forestry census, out of 2,990 farm households, 19.5% are full-time farmers and first-class part-time farmers, whose main source of income is farming. Of the 1,949 commercial farm households, 74.3% are “managers over the age of 60.” Agricultural employment continues to decline, especially for those under the age of 69. In 2015, the total number of people working in agriculture was 2,609, but if this trend continues, it is expected to decrease to about 1,500 by 2025, and about 600 people under the age of 69. In order to secure the human resources who will lead the business, regardless of the size of the farm, it is necessary to It is important to aim at stabilization of farm management and improvement of farm income by planning support of farmer and new farmer who want to support to lead to attractive farm management. As for the increase in abandoned cultivated land, the area of abandoned cultivated land in the city was 464 ha in 2010 and 504 ha in 2015. The causes of the increase in abandoned farmland are factors related to workers such as "aging and labor shortage'', "bad field conditions and no local farmers'', "slumping prices of agricultural products'', and "no profitable crops''. It seems that it is considered to be a complex factor, such as management factors such as "no damage" and "harmful wildlife damage". As for the impact of abandoned farmland, it seems that the occurrence of diseases and pests, the overgrowth of weeds, etc. will deteriorate the farming environment in the surrounding area, and it will also be a factor that hinders the accumulation of farmland for local farmers. Furthermore, it has adverse effects on the living environment of local residents, such as illegal dumping of garbage and the occurrence of fires. In order to stop the increase in abandoned farmland due to the aging of the population, it is necessary to develop a production base that will enable efficient consolidation of farmland to motivated farmers. There is Furthermore, it seems necessary to promote the creation of an environment in which agriculture and farming villages can easily demonstrate their multifaceted functions, such as efforts to conserve and utilize farmland through community-wide participation by citizens in cooperation with farmers and villages. Kosatsudai (Konoyama) 1 unit in the area where producers usually farm: designation number 36, designation date, January 8, 1990, Edo period, law and rule writing, etc., with heavy traffic A billboard posted at a market or crossroads is called an official bulletin board.). Kosatsudai were also set up in conspicuous places such as in front of the village headman's house, and it seems that the shogunate strictly controlled the villagers with the official bulletin board. Konoyama's official bulletin board seems to have been built at the end of the Edo period according to instructions from the magistrate's office. Standing on a platform made of cut stone, it is 2.5 meters high and the front roof is 3.6 meters wide. There are only two remaining valuable cultural assets in the old Ishige town. Yellow core Chinese cabbage looks like a normal Chinese cabbage, but the inside of the cabbage has yellow leaves. The leaves are soft, freshly picked, and have a sweet taste. Coloring from ingredients exactly, it changes to a dining table that shines. In addition, the original species is said to have originated in northern China, and has been cultivated in China since around the 10th or 11th century. It is said that it came to Japan surprisingly late, around 1875 in the early Meiji period. At that time, it seems that it was difficult to collect seeds and it did not spread very much. After that, during the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, the seeds of delicious and excellent agricultural products that had grown large in the former Manchuria and Korea were brought back to Japan by Japanese soldiers, and it seems that the seeds spread throughout the country. It has occupied a position as a major vegetable since before the Second World War, but in recent years the planted area seems to be on the decline due to fewer opportunities to pickle Chinese cabbage at home and the influence of westernized eating habits. In addition, Chinese cabbage is roughly divided into Shandong type, North China type, and South China type. There seems to be a head type, a semi-head type, and a non-head type. It seems that most of the ones currently in circulation in Japan are the ball type. It is divided into two types: the cylindrical shape with tightly overlapping leaves on the head and the shell-like shape with wrapped leaves that do not overlap. Seems to be It is said that the reason why the yellow core type became mainstream is that Chinese cabbage is often cut and sold today, so it looks beautiful when cut in half and also tastes delicious. As a trivial piece of information, it seems that Japanese people saw Chinese cabbages for the first time, and it was the three strains of "Shandong Chinese cabbage" that were exhibited from Qing at the Tokyo Exposition. For a while after that, it seems that the headed Chinese cabbage was called Shandong Chinese cabbage. It seems that it was after that that those that did not form a ball came to be called Shandong Vegetable. After the exposition, two of the three plants were sold to Aichi Prefecture, and the seeds continued to be collected. It seems that there is a record that the Shandong Vegetable was presented to Emperor Meiji from Nagoya.

The local climate has an average temperature of around 13.5°C and an annual rainfall of about 1,300 mm. In winter, the northwest monsoon blows, but the amount of snowfall is extremely small, and it is the area with the least amount of rainfall in the prefecture. Also, the first frost is in late October and the last frost is in late April, and depending on the year fruit trees may suffer late frost damage, but the area is generally warm and the environment is suitable for growing crops. It has long hours of sunlight in winter and is suitable for outdoor cultivation. Cultivated varieties have been repeatedly planted with soft varieties and hard varieties based on the needs of the time and ease of production, and have changed to planting mainly yellow-core varieties that meet the needs of current consumers. The characteristics of the yellow core type are that the leaf color inside the Chinese cabbage is strong, and the sweetness is stronger than that of the white core type.

Most autumn and winter hakusai currently in circulation are of the yellow core type. In addition, the main varieties of spring Chinese cabbage are Cream No. 2 Chinese cabbage (Watanabe Seed Co., Ltd.) and Kikunishiki Chinese cabbage (Tohoku Co., Ltd.). The biggest feature is that the inside color of the bulb is also strongly yellow.It reaches the proper harvest time in about 60 days after planting. The leaf color is slightly dark green, the grass is slightly upright, and the number of outer leaves is small, so it can be cultivated densely. The balls are bullet-shaped, and the body and buttocks are well stretched and have a voluminous feel, and each ball weighs about 2.5 to 3 kg and is of good quality). There are Naomi Chinese cabbage and yellow gokoro Chinese cabbage.

The tea harvest in 2022 is expected to be good, and will reach its peak around May 2nd, the 88th day after the spring. It is the 88th day after the spring, and in the old Japanese calendar, which is based on the lunar calendar, the calendar date and season are at their highest and are half a month apart, so it originated and spread as a guide to the change of seasons, other than the five seasonal festivals and 24 solar terms based on the solar calendar. It is considered to be auspicious because there are two eights, which spread out at the end, and tea picked on the 88th day after the spring is treasured as a lucky charm for eternal youth and longevity, and the legend that drinking this new tea will help you spend the year without misfortune is still engraved in our hearts. The calendar, which serves as a guide for growing crops, is the foundation and lesson of our ancestors.

Kotonami Future Museum, a regional revitalization center in Mannou Town, Kagawa Prefecture, is set to open in May 2021, utilizing the building of a closed junior high school. It has been seen as a "success story" in a recent depopulated area, and even attracts visits from outside the town, including politicians and child-rearing support groups. This area is rich in local resources such as sunflowers, buckwheat villages, and the "Ayako Dance : It is said that the song began when Kobo Daishi stopped by Sabumi Village to teach a woman named Aya a dance, and when she danced, rain began to fall. It is dedicated to Kamo Shrine once every two years. The song was popular from the Middle Ages to the early modern period and has 12 verses. In the past, it was dedicated in front of the Ryuo Shrine at the top of Mount Ryuo. Before the dedication, a procession is made and the shrine is entered. After that, the place is purified by those carrying long swords and poles, and then the Genji begins his speech. The speech originally included prayers for rain and gratitude for water, but now that water shortages are rare, the main content of the speech is gratitude for water," an important intangible folk cultural asset that is part of the "Elegance Dance : It is a folk performing art in which people dance to the accompaniment of songs, flutes, and drums in gorgeous costumes and accessories. It is filled with people's prayers for a peaceful life, such as protection from disasters, good harvests, and rain" group, which is a candidate for UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage registration. Local residents who are attached to these local resources are taking the lead in revitalizing the area and working to pass them on to future generations. Although there are many part-time farmers in the town, the scenery of nature that changes with the seasons creates a nostalgic rural landscape. The people who live here continue to live the way they have been handed down since ancient times, together with this nature, and continue to protect traditional culture.

The Democratic Party for the People led by Mr. Tamaki, tax cuts: Reduce social insurance premiums, lower living expenses, and give back to the people, increasing their take-home pay. They have put forward the direction and measures that if you work hard, your salary will increase. This is a natural reform, but those in power who have controlled the country and are the spokespersons for the people should work to settle the past, putting off the problem and making the lives of the people wealthy. Other parties are holding study sessions and actively discussing the possibility of a 0% tax on food products and a 5% consumption tax. It would be good if this could be an opportunity to reduce the burden on households in the future and reconsider some aspects of our lives, but I would like to keep an eye on them so that they do not put off the problem forever and treat people who are working hard and seriously in the present with innocence. All members of parliament, no malice is needed. Fight loyally and respect your country.

Nakayama Sunflower Complex: The blue sky, the mountains of Asan, and over 310,000 pretty and elegant sunflowers. The spacious and spectacular view from the top of the hill is just like summer. Not only for sightseeing, but also as a shooting spot, many people visit from inside and outside the prefecture and from abroad. Also, it seems that 200 yen will be paid as a beautification cooperation fee at the entrance. National high school as a whole to be held in Manno Town, Nakatadori County, Kagawa Prefecture in August 2022 (Venue: Manno Town, Kagawa Prefecture / Sports Center Manno, Manno Town Manno Junior High School, Mt. Kasagata, Mt. Ryuo, Mt. Okawa, Encampment: Manno Town / Kotonami Miraikan, Opening Ceremony on August 5th (Friday) and Closing Ceremony on August 9th (Tuesday) I signed an agreement. At the signing ceremony on April 25, the 15th Infantry Regiment Commander of the Ground Self-Defense Force Zentsuji Camp, the Kagawa Prefectural Board of Education, and the representative of Manno Town signed the agreement. Every year, it seems that the local government that holds the national high school championships has an agreement with the Self-Defense Forces for the safety of the students. It seems that the Self-Defense Forces will provide preliminary inspections of the course, wireless communication, and rescue support in the event of an accident during the competition. In the middle of March 2022, I learned from the media that Kagawa Prefecture in the Shikoku region is planning a project to export rice produced in the prefecture as “Pre-packaged rice” overseas in collaboration with a major company. As the domestic market is expected to shrink, it seems that it is attracting attention as a new initiative aimed at expanding consumption of rice produced in the prefecture by looking overseas. According to the people concerned, Kagawa Prefecture and others have agreed to supply rice produced in the prefecture to the “Pre-packaged rice” factory that a major company is planning to build in Saga Prefecture. Pre-packaged rice is also being exported by the national government because it does not require phytosanitary inspection when it is exported and even foreigners who do not know how to cook rice can easily cook it in the microwave. According to the plan, rice produced in the prefecture will be supplied through JA Kagawa prefecture from next year when the factory in Saga prefecture starts operation, and it will be made into pre-packaged rice and exported overseas. In 2025, when the Saga factory will start full-scale operation, it is said that about 1500 tons of rice will be processed into packed rice annually together with rice produced in other prefectures. JA Kagawa Prefecture is recruiting producers to participate in this project soon. In addition to providing guidance on low-cost rice production suitable for export, it seems that it will conduct market research overseas. There has been almost no export record of rice produced in Kagawa prefecture, and it is attracting attention as a new initiative aimed at expanding consumption by looking overseas. To give an example, it was decided that the Pre-packaged rice manufactured at “Japan Pack Rice Akita” in Ogata Village, Akita Prefecture, which started full-scale operation in July 2021, will be exported overseas for the first time, and in 2022 as the first step. On January 27, it seems that loading into a container for Taiwan was carried out at the factory. As domestic demand for rice for main food is declining year by year, we have found a way out in overseas sales channels. About 12,000 meals were exported. After customs clearance, he left Akita Port on January 8, 2021 and arrived at Keelung Port in Taiwan on the 16th. It is sold at a department store in Taiwan on the Internet, and it seems that the selling price was expected to be about twice that of Japan (120 yen per meal). According to the Ogata Village Akita Komachi Producers Association, which is responsible for exports, the company wants to export to Taiwan once every three months, aiming for about 100,000 meals a year. Exports to Shanghai, China were completed in February. It seems that it is also considering exporting to Singapore, Hong Kong and the United States. The aim is to increase consumption of rice, which is the staple food of the Japanese. It seems that he settled in Ogata village half a century ago and wanted to grow rice and increase consumption. Consumption is declining, while nuclear families are becoming more common and people's lifestyles are changing. The chances of cooking rice at home are decreasing, and more people are eating convenient pre-packaged rice. I have considered building a factory twice so far, but it seems that the investment amount has been greatly abandoned. This time, subsidies from the national and prefectural governments and loans from Akita Bank have been completed. At last, the prospect of construction was reached, and gluten-free foods and foods for food allergies were developed, but it seems to be a product that fills the gap. Consumption is increasing year by year, and the market is expected to grow even more in the future. About four years ago, in February 2018, TableMark Co., Ltd. (Head office: Tsukiji, Chuo Ward, Tokyo), the largest manufacturer and seller of PACKED ASEPTIC COOKED RICE in Japan. It seems that the annual production will be 250 million meals and 50,000 tons. The company aims to complete the Mizu no Sato factory (Toka Town) in Uonuma, Niigata prefecture in August 2018, and invests 2.1 billion yen to produce 7,500 meals per hour. Was added. Six lines are already in operation at this factory, and when the additional line is completed, the production capacity will reach 46,500 meals per hour. At the Spring / Summer New Product Press Conference held on January 25, Tablemark Co., Ltd. offered 3 extra-sized servings of 300g per meal and pre-packaged rice using milky queen rice from Ishikawa prefecture as new products for packed rice. It is on sale from the 1st of the month. We are also introducing Pre-packaged rice using Koshihikari in the commercial field. It seems that the commercial-use rice is not made exclusively for it, but is the same as the commercially available Koshihikari rice-packed rice, and the packaging design is only one color. According to the company, there have been inquiries about pre-packaged rice in order to save the trouble of re-cooking rice at restaurants and hotels, and it is focusing on management by making a full-scale sales offensive in this field. Kagawa Prefectural Agricultural Cooperative was established in April 2000 by the merger of 43JA in Kagawa Prefecture. After that, it merged with 2JA and contributed to Japanese agriculture again as a prefectural single agricultural cooperative in April 2013. The average cultivated area per farmhouse in the prefecture is 0.9 hectares, which is less than half of the national average (2.1 hectares). Under favorable climatic conditions, lettuce and Japanese red Kintoki carrot (the bright red color is dazzling, the production volume is the highest in Japan. It is said that the oriental species was introduced from China from 1603 to 1867. The red color is japanese traditional. It is prized for New Year's dish and Kyo-ryori (local climate of Kyoto), and is also characterized by being sweeter and softer than the orange-colored western carrots that are widely distributed. The main production areas are the sandy areas of Sakaide City and Kannonji City. At the end of the year when demand is high, farmers will be forced to ship), and they produce nationwide agricultural products such as lettuce. Kanonji City, which is a celery producing area in Kagawa Prefecture, is located in the western part of the prefecture, bordering the Seto Inland Sea in the north and the Sanuki Mountains in the south. While making high use of the blessed natural conditions of the Setouchi-style climate of warm and light rain, the micro-scale of management is complemented by advanced use of land and capital-intensive management such as facility horticulture, and vegetables, fruit trees, and livestock are produced based on rice and wheat. It seems that they are developing highly productive agriculture centered on complex management such as. In the Ariake area, where celery is particularly popular in the city, tomatoes and cucumbers are cultivated mainly in celery and are popular with consumers, using well-drained sandy areas along the coast. Celery production seems to have started in 1970 in the Ariake district of Kanonji city. At that time, the cultivation was institutionalized, and we were considering the items to be introduced, but there was a request from the Kanto market for celery production, and we started cultivation with 5 houses producers. In 2017, the JA Kagawa Prefecture Kanonji District Celery Subcommittee produced 22 houses, with a cultivated area of 830 ares (including 590 ares of celery and 240 ares of mini celery), and a cultivated area of 37.7 ares per house. Production was strong at 640 tons (480 tons of celery, 160 tons of mini celery). It seems that the aging of farmers is progressing in the prefecture, but the average age of producers is as young as 40s, and many bearers are growing, making it a vigorous production area in the prefecture. Kanonji celery seems to be cultivated mainly in combination with tomatoes. Cellular is planted from mid-September to the end of November, and the harvest seems to be from early January to early May. The peak harvest season is March. I heard that cultivation is generally done in an unheated greenhouse. Minicellly is planted from early September to the end of November, and harvested from mid-November to early June. It is generally cultivated in the open field or in an unheated greenhouse. The main varieties are celery 619 and mini celery top-selling (vigorous and disease-resistant. The plant is slightly upright, the first node is long, the core leaves grow well, and large plants can yield high yields. The petioles are wide, thick, and have few streaks. The color is light green with good freshness. It seems that the celery is about half a month later than “Cornel 619”. It seems that small stocks of about 1 kg are also possible). Raising seedlings was carried out collectively at the Kagawa Prefectural Agricultural Support Center, a subsidiary of JA Kagawa Prefecture, in an effort to reduce the work of producers. However, from around 2006, in Cornell varieties, seeding due to the effects of warming caused poor germination of seeds due to high temperatures during the seeding period, and the occurrence of twisting symptoms similar to viral diseases in planted seedlings (Colletotrichum simmondsii RG). Shivas & YP Tan? Fine, necrotic spots are formed on the core leaves of new leaves, and in the case of severe damage, spindle-shaped brown spots appear on the outer leaves and stalks. Also, curls of leaves and twisting of stalks. It seems that it may be accompanied by malformations such as. Diagnosis is made by confirming the characteristic necrotic spot spot symptoms that occur in the core lobe. Furthermore, when the symptom site of the core lobe is observed with a microscope, it is colorless single vesicle, spindle-shaped to oval. It seems that it is possible to confirm the saplings). Therefore, in cooperation with related organizations such as the extension center of the prefecture, it seems that they started self-seeding by jurisdiction seeding farmers for line selection in 2010, and started cultivating selected seeds in 2011 the following year. It seems that the selected seeds are fixed seeds in the area and are raised at the Kagawa Prefectural Agricultural Support Center. Since the selected seeds germinate well and the occurrence of twisting symptoms is small, it seems that it was possible to plant with good quality seedlings, which led to the improvement of quality. Currently, selected seeds and commercially available seeds are used in combination, but the weight of selected seeds is increasing, and further quality improvement is being seriously addressed. In addition, the JA seems to be promoting the introduction of a hydroponic soil cultivation system for each producer in order to save labor. The hydroponic soil cultivation system does not require special soil or facilities, and it seems that it can automatically perform watering and fertilizer application work and reduce the amount of fertilizer used compared to the conventional soil cultivation method. In addition, there is no need to add fertilizer or soil conditioner at the time of planting, which seems to save labor. Furthermore, since crops absorb water and fertilizer efficiently, they are less likely to be stressed, and are expected to increase yield and sugar content. About half of the producers have introduced it since that time, and it seems that not only labor saving but also quality improvement has been realized. Cellular is soft rot, spot plant disease, wilt disease for diseases, armyworm, aphid, Penthaleus erythrocephalus Koch for pests. Is reddish brown). Therefore, it seems that they are aiming to supply safe, high-quality and excellent agricultural products by disinfecting the soil before planting and controlling it in a timely and appropriate manner. Harvesting is done in the morning so that it reaches consumers in a fresher state, and after sorting and boxing by each producer, it is brought to the collection point and shipped to the market on the same day. At the collection point, quality inspections are conducted by inspectors. It seems that once a week, a shipping awareness meeting is held for shippers to unify the awareness of producers and maintain and improve quality. In addition, the name and number of the producer are written on the shipping cardboard, and it seems that a system is in place to respond promptly when there is a problem. The main shipping destinations are the Keihin and Sendai markets. Every February, the officers of the subcommittee visit each market to hold sales review meetings and sales promotion activities to expand contract transactions with an awareness of reproduction prices. In addition to continuous and stable shipments, the subcommittee has unified its intention to set March as the peak shipment period, and seems to be striving for advantageous sales aiming at the off-season of other production areas. In addition, it seems that consumers are always on the side of consumers by strictly adhering to safe use standards for pesticides, recording, checking and storing, and thoroughly raising awareness of food hygiene to prevent contamination by foreign substances. The area of cultivated land by field in 2018 was 29,900 hectares (40th in Japan), and the area of cultivated land per house was 78 ares, which is less than half of the national average. Despite these conditions, autumn-winter crop cultivation has prospered for half a century as a back crop of paddy fields, and typical autumn-winter items are lettuce, current price increases, great crops, and wheat, which is active as a staple food. Broccoli seems to have been introduced in the prefecture for the first time due to the demand for diversified vegetable items in the latter half of the 1965s, which is the latter half of the high growth period. Cultivation began in Tadotsu Town, Nakatado District, and after that, it was cultivated throughout the prefecture, but it seems that the production volume declined temporarily due to the increase in cheap imported broccoli from China and the United States. On the other hand, in the Mitoyo area, it seems that the product value was increased by innovating production technology and devising shipping forms such as ice-packed shipping. I heard that this initiative spread throughout the prefecture and became a representative of autumn / winter items. With the support of mechanization, JA, and the cooperation of the production subcommittee, the current planted area is one of the five largest production areas in Japan. Comparing the broccoli cultivation area in the prefecture in the last 10 years, the production in 2008 was 565 hectares, while the production in 2018 was 1170 hectares, more than doubled. It seems that the background was the fall in rice prices, the abolition of rice and wheat subsidies for management income stabilization measures (former farmer household income compensation system), and the entry of baby boomers into agriculture. In addition, it seems that the acreage has expanded due to the improvement of the support system by JA, the rise in transaction prices due to the high leveling of quality, and the expansion of end consumption. In any case, Kagawa has a small cultivated area and cannot be mass-produced, so it seems that it is trying to differentiate itself from domestic and overseas competing production areas by producing high-value-added crops such as high quality and individualization. The mild climate of Setouchi, also known as the Mediterranean Sea of Japan, seems to be the best environment for growing fruits and vegetables. And it seems that the secret to producing beautiful products is the careful manufacturing of each producer. The tomatoes of the skilled producers introduced this time belong to the Solanaceae family and are perennials in the tropics, but they are annual plants in the temperate zone. The place of origin seems to be said to be the western plateau of South America. It was introduced in Japan in the early 18th century, but it seems that it was treated for appreciation at that time. Until the early Showa period, production was insignificant because it did not suit general tastes, but I heard that the cultivated area increased from around 1935. It was prototyped in a glass greenhouse in Kusugami Town, Takamatsu City around the end of the Taisho era, and it seems that the cultivation area increased with the spread of vinyl greenhouses in the early 1955s. In particular, the spread of ripe round ball varieties “Momotaro Tomato” has led to increased consumption and an increase in cultivated area. In addition, it seems that the variety of tomato cultivation has expanded and the consumption has increased significantly due to the spread of quality-enhancing ingredients such as high sugar content tomatoes, medium-sized tomatoes “midi tomatoes”, and mini tomatoes. It is widely known, and it is said that Tang dynasty and “TOMATO” are used in Japan after the Meiji Era. “Momotaro tomato”, Treetop A large pink ball that does not hurt even when shipped after it is fully ripe. A long-established store from the Edo period --Developed by foundation takii & co., Ltd in 1835. However, new producers are cherry tomatoes (cultivation started around 1985, and it seems that it spread rapidly throughout the prefecture with the advent of minicarols. It reached 43ha in 1990, and it seems that it is gradually decreasing since then. Cultivation is soil cultivation. It has shifted to hydroponic cultivation from, and now 60% seems to be hydroponic cultivation. The main production areas are Tadotsu Town, Sanuki City, Zentsuji City, Takamatsu City, Higashi Kagawa City, etc. The variety is CF Chika (dark red and glossy). A certain fruit color, stable from low to high sugar content, excellent taste. Fruit color is deep red and glossy. Fruit weight is 15 to 20 g. Fruit shape is beautiful spherical and good to match. Goku Wase species Excellent yield in the low temperature period), TY Chika (excellent in taste, glossy fruit color) Stable from low to high sugar content. The fruit color is deep red and glossy. Fruit weight is 15 to 20 g. It seems that the fruit shape is a beautiful sphere and the fruit is well-matched. The shape of the calyx is also beautiful, and it looks good when packed. It also seems to be rich in lycopene, a functional ingredient. It seems that the Wase species, which has a stable yield and an early ripening period, has few fluctuations in yield throughout the cultivation period, and stable shipment can be expected). It seems that the production area of large tomatoes is sluggish due to the high selection rate. That is why it is valuable. The main production areas are Sanuki City, Takamatsu City, Kanonji City, etc. Manno Town, which is also an excellent wholesaler of asparagus, is still new, which was created by the merger of three towns in Nakatado District, Kagawa Prefecture (Mano Town, Kotonami Town, and Chunan Town) on March 20, 2006. It's a town. It is located in the southwestern part of the prefecture and has an area of about 194.45 km2. It seems that about 900 reservoirs are scattered in the mountainous area in the west, including "Pond Manno", the best irrigation reservoir in Japan, which is also the origin of the town name. On the south side of the town, Mt. Ryuo, which is over 1,000 meters above sea level, and the Sanuki Mountains, whose main peak is Mt. Okawa, run at the foot of the mountain, and the Doki River, the only first-class river in the prefecture, flows. It was confirmed from the website of Manno Town on April 8, 2022, but the rice price in Manno Town fell sharply due to the influence of the new coronavirus infection in the temporary support fund for the continuation of rice production in Manno Town, so the rice in the town It seems that a subsidy will be provided to the sales farmers to support the continuation of paddy field management this year. For details, check with the Agriculture and Forestry Division of the town and JA Kagawa Fureai Center Kyoei store. Sanuki Manno Park is the only national park in Shikoku with a park area of 350 ha. Taking advantage of the rich nature of Manno Pond and its surroundings, and the cultural soil of Shikoku that gave birth to Kukai, the basic theme was "Talking with humans, contact with nature and space", and maintenance began in 1984. The park was fully opened in April of the year. The blue flowers of Nemophila are in full bloom until the end of this month, which seems to entertain visitors. This flower is an annual plant native to North America and seems to bloom about 3 cm in diameter. In addition, it seems that a total of 550,000 varieties called "Insignis Blue" are planted in the open space "Flower Tour Hill", the flower field "Flower Dragon Road", and "Blue Dragon Valley". "Asparagus" is a perennial plant of the Liliaceae family. Native to Southern Europe. Height is about 1.5 m. The leaves are degenerated and brown scaly. Pine leaf-shaped stems called “pseudo-leaves” photosynthesize. It is customary to eat young stems. "Ukraine" is said to be the place of origin from Southern Europe. It has been cultivated since ancient Greek times and spread throughout Europe. It is said that it was introduced to Japan by the Dutch during the Edo period, mainly for viewing the leaves. As for food, cultivation began in Hokkaido in the Taisho era. Before the war, asparagus was white asparagus for canning. Today, with increasing health consciousness, nutritious green asparagus for raw consumption has become the majority of the distribution. Excellent varieties cultivated in the United States have been cultivated, but in recent years, the cultivation of F1 hybrid（Only overt (dominant) genes are expressed in the next generation of parents' traits ≒ the law of overt - From Japanese junior high school science "dominant / recessive" to "overt / latent". Genetic terms, changed all at once from 2021) varieties with improved matching and quality has increased. The difference between green and white asparagus is due to the cultivation method. There are male and female strains, and the male strain has a higher yield, but it is difficult to distinguish by appearance, but in recent years, all male varieties in which all strains are male strains have been cultivated. It is one of the long-growing vegetables that takes three years from the first planting to the time when it can be harvested. However, the difficulty of cultivation is not so high, and after the third year, you can enjoy harvesting every year for about 10 years. In addition, although it prefers a cool climate, it can withstand the heat to some extent and is resistant to dryness. Asparagus, a specialty of Kagawa Prefecture, was first introduced in the open field in 1970 as a paddy field crop. From around 1982, cane blight (at first, the branching part of the stem turns brown, black grains are formed, and there are spores in the grains. Finally, the whole stem seems to die. Asparagus semi-promoted growth period cultivated As a comprehensive control system for stem blight, cultivated control (removal of residual stems and burning of burner) suppresses the onset of stalk blight for a long period of time. It seems that the comprehensive control system (cultivation control and chemical control during the cultivation period) keeps the onset of stem blight low. The comprehensive control system is also effective for brown spot disease. Agricultural control that removes the residual stems from the underground part (3 to 5 cm below the ground surface) and burns the residual stems with a burner suppresses the onset of stem blight for a long period of time. Work so as not to damage the buds. It seems that it is desirable to remove mainly the affected part of the previous work because the removal work is laborious. It is said that burner incineration should be done before the sprouting of spring buds (February) It seems that greenhouse cultivation has become common due to measures and early harvesting. Currently, 95% is cultivated in greenhouse, and the remaining 5% is cultivated in the open field. It seems that there are two varieties, "Welcome Asparagus" and "Sanuki no Mezame Asparagus", which is a cultivar raised in Kagawa prefecture. It is characterized by the fact that the tips of the ears do not open easily even when they grow. Therefore, it is possible to harvest even if it is stretched to twice the normal amount, the tips are tight, and the roots are soft. When you try it, it has a crispy texture and a refreshing sweetness that spreads throughout your mouth. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries variety registration website, application number 14835, application date 2002/07/08, application publication date 2002/12/16, registration number 13197, registration date 2005/06/22, breeding The duration of the breeder's right is 25 years, the date when the breeder's right is extinguished. Name and address of the cultivar registrant Kagawa Prefecture (Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture) be. Outline of the characteristics of the plant of the registered cultivar This cultivar is a hybrid cultivar whose mother and paternity are the breeding line owned by the applicant. It is a variety for green asparagus that has a tight tightness and early and late sprouting. The plant height is long, the stem thickness and internode length are medium, the leaf length is slightly long, and the density is medium. The thickness and matching of the young stems are medium, the color is slightly light green, the expression of anthocyanins is slightly high, the number of stems is large, the shape of the head is type I, the color is slightly light green, the tightness of the head is tight, and the head is open. Early and late in the evening, the color of the leaflets is slightly light green, the expression of anthocyanins is medium, and the uplift of the engraftment part is type II. The color of the perianth is yellow, the color of the veins is green, the length of the male flower and some are medium. The low temperature requirement is quite low, the early and late sprouting is quite early, and the proportion of male strains is medium. Compared to "Merry Washington 500 W Asparagus" and "Welcome Asparagus", it is said that the distinction is recognized by the large number of young stems, the tightness of the head, and the early and late sprouting. This excellent asparagus was introduced in the prefecture in 2002, and it seems that the variety composition ratio is 37% for "Welcome Asparagus" and 63% for "Sanuki no Mezame Asparagus". Shipment destinations are Kanto 30%, Kansai 30%, Shikoku 30%, and others 10%, shipping from January to October. I heard that the peak shipments are March, April and July, August. The town's agriculture is centered on rice cultivation, but it seems that vegetables such as onions, garlic and broccoli are also cultivated and poultry farming is also carried out. Fruit trees of peaches and persimmons are being cultivated in the hilly mountainous areas in the south. Green asparagus and flowers are also cultivated in facility horticulture. As an aside, Virulent bird flu A (has a very wide host range (range of infectious animal species), not only poultry such as "humans" and chickens (birds such as chickens, ducks, quail), but also horses. H5N1 - A strain of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus - is rapidly becoming a global concern. A new SciencePerspective discusses the factors that have led to global H5N1 outbreaks, the consequences of this spread, and what can be done to curb it. There are signs of flu, so we have to foresee the danger before the corona sickness is over, and Japan must revive again, but economic measures are still unclear and there is no prospect of escaping from the crisis of stagflation. Am I the only one?

It is a vegetable rich in umami and richness, rich in the ingredient C4H7NO4 found in asparagus, which is an excellent agricultural product. Hakama (triangular part on the stem) and the skin near the hard root can be peeled off with a peeler to make it beautiful and palatable. The part that snaps by holding the root of the stem is a guideline for the part with few streaks. When boiling, you can reduce the outflow of umami and nutrients by boiling it for a long time without cutting it. You can enjoy the refreshing aroma and natural sweetness by adding salt to a little hot water and steaming for several tens of seconds. Asparagus grows on rhizomes like japanese ginger, not plants that sow seeds and grow seedlings every year like japanese white radish and spinach. In the spring, the buds grow squishy, and every year, you can enjoy these young buds. After harvesting, the rhizomes are allowed to overwinter as they are, and it is customary to harvest and eat new shoots that will grow again in the spring of the following year. In recent years, the number of domestic products whose harvest period has been significantly extended is increasing due to green house cultivation.

This excellent produce grown in the sun is rich in vitamins. In particular, it contains a large amount of folic acid, so I recommend it to people who are anemic. At the tip of the ear, there are amino acids such as aspartic acid and C10H17N3O6S (a tripeptide consisting of three amino acids, which has an amide bond between the amino group of cysteine, which is rarely seen, and the carboxy group on the side chain side of glutamate). A kind is included. Aspartic acid seems to be effective in increasing metabolism and relieving fatigue. It also has the effect of excreting NH3 as urine, and can be expected to have the effect of preventing irritation and insomnia. In addition, it dilates peripheral blood vessels and lowers blood pressure, which will be very effective in improving hypertension and preventing arteriosclerosis. Glutathione has strong antioxidant power, and it seems that it can be expected to have a great effect of preventing aging such as wrinkles and sagging. Asparagus is said to have originated in Ukraine from Southern Europe. It has been cultivated since ancient Greek times and seems to have spread to Europe. It seems that it was introduced to Japan by the Dutch during the Edo period, mainly for viewing the leaves. As for food, I heard that cultivation began in Hokkaido during the Taisho era. Before the war, white asparagus for canning was the mainstream. Nowadays, with increasing health consciousness, green asparagus for raw consumption, which has high nutritional value, occupies most of the distribution.

Iwanai Town, Iwanai District, west of Hokkaido, is said to be the birthplace of asparagus. On the east side of Iwanai Welfare Hospital along Route 66, to the southwest of the intersection, there is a monument that says "The birthplace of Japanese asparagus." Dr. Kikuzo Shimoda (1895-1970) will be very successful. In Iwanai at that time, the herring economy was booming, and he was the third son of a rice miscellaneous goods dealer. He entered the current Tokyo University of Pharmacy (Horinouchi, Hachioji City) with a false age of three, so he seems to have been a precocious person. After returning home, he gave instructions to farmers about chemical fertilizers, but it seems that he was often cried for the damage caused by cold weather. Without abandoning his ambition to produce crops that can withstand the frigid cold of Hokkaido, he searched for crops that are resistant to cold damage, discovered the native asparagus called "firefly grass", and started cultivating asparagus. After many years of trial production, in 1922, it seems that the cultivation of this excellent agricultural product began in earnest in Japan for the first time in the sand dunes of 40 towns. Two years later, he established Japan Asparagus Co., Ltd. with the support of influential people. It seems that the canned white asparagus made in Iwanai eventually received higher praise than the imported canned food. In response to his desire to make asparagus, he gave guidance on cultivation to Kimobetsu, Abuta-gun in the early Showa period, and to Furano City after the war, and it seems that the asparagus fields have spread to various places.

They share a lot of vegetables with us! The warm and generous people are charming. Compared to Tokyo, the summers are not too hot and the winters are not too cold, so the climate is warm and easy to live in. In terms of raising children, it is a blessed environment with many events that children can participate in for free, such as treasure hunts on the beach and musicals at the community center.

As of 2022, the local Chiba Prefectural Meat Corporation and Asahi City Tourism and Products Association are paying attention to the raw leather produced annually in the process of meat processing. In collaboration with Tanning companies and local sewing manufacturers that handle leather products, we have developed "Kujukuri Leather（About 440,000 pigs are shipped annually from the city for meat. The prefectural meat public corporation in the city processes carcasses, and 90% of the surplus skin is exported overseas. The remaining 10% is processed into tanning leather by a trader in Tokyo. Only tanning leather from Asahi City is procured from a vendor in Tokyo, and K.K. Takano Sewing, K.K. Sewing Asahi, and Nakanishi Auto Repair K.K. in the city process the products into bags. In addition, it seems that there are more than 20 kinds of brand pigs in the city.）", a leather that utilizes locally produced pig raw leather. In Asahi City, Chiba Prefecture, which boasts one of the largest pig production in Japan, local meat traders, tourist product associations, and sewing makers have teamed up to take on the challenge of branding leather products using the by-product raw leather. Processed into bags and accessories as "Kujukuri leather". The whole meat and skin will be used to appeal to the local industry. The city's pig production in 2020 is estimated to be about 19.5 billion yen, and it seems that it is the second largest production area in Japan by municipality. While there are more than 20 kinds of various pork brands, it is difficult to unify PR, and it seems that the problem is that it is not well known as a production area. With the spread of cheap artificial leather and the declining global demand for leather products due to the new coronavirus disease, the raw leather industry continues to be in a difficult situation, so we will work together as a breakthrough. Asahi Meat Cooperative: Many people may think of pork as Kyushu, but in fact Chiba prefecture is the third largest pig farming prefecture in Japan after Kagoshima and Miyazaki prefectures. Our main production areas are the Toso region, including Asahi City, where the Asahi Meat Cooperative is located. The piglets seem to grow up quickly in a warm and blessed environment surrounded by Kujukuri Beach and the Tone River. 288 houses of pig farms raise 614,400 pigs throughout the prefecture, shipping about 870,000 pigs annually, and the amount of pigs produced is said to be 54.6 billion yen. Chiba Prefecture is famous for agricultural products such as peanuts, pears and rice, and marlin products such as marlin, marlin and sardines, and although it seems to be hidden behind the scenes, its history dates back to Edo. According to the record that "there are people who can raise pigs in Kamimusada, Yamabe District, Kazusa, Shimomusada, and Hosei's three villages during the Tenpo era (1830s)", the pig farming in Chiba Prefecture was later in Yamabe District, now Togane City. It seems that the beginning is around. It seems that there were already 20 soy sauce brewers in Choshi during the Bunsei era (1818-1830) before the 1930s when pig farming began. This is good because you can get good quality soybeans, wheat, and salt by using the water transportation of the Edo River and Tone River, and you can transport the products you made to the whole city of Edo. It was because the conditions were met. The Edo Shogunate at that time focused on fostering industries around Edo in order to escape from the dependence of daily necessities on the Kansai region. It seems that Choshi in Chiba Prefecture developed as a soy sauce producing area. Speaking of pig farming at that time, the mainstream was "garden pig farming" in which each farmer raised several pigs in the garden. Pig farming is a very small scale, and it was convenient for a producer to have one pig to eat anything. At that time, sardines were so big that they could be used as fertilizer in the fields, and the pigs in the garden seemed to be able to eat nutritious fish. As for the food, as the name "Sweet Potato Pork" suggests, it seems that they have been eating a lot of sweet potatoes since this time. Chiba Prefecture is also the second largest producer of sweet potatoes in Japan (2020). It began in the Edo period (Genbun year) when sweet potatoes were cultivated on a trial basis in Makuhari, Chiba City, at the behest of 8th Shogun Yoshimune to save famine. Thanks to the research of Konyo AOKI, who was later called Dr. Kanyo, cultivation spread to Chiba and eastern Japan. And soy sauce cake from Choshi's soy sauce factory. It is rich in soybean-derived fat, vitamin E, vitamin K1 (C31H46O2), and Isoflavones, and seems to be perfect for food. These special products of Chiba prefecture seem to have been a major factor in making pig farming nationwide as it is today. It seems that it developed because the blessed environment is complete, the production areas of soy sauce, agricultural products and marine products overlap with the breeding areas of pigs, and the large consumption area Edo is near. In the Meiji era, pig farming began to be established as an industry. In the middle of the Meiji era, the ancestors of the director of the association seemed to go to buy pigs by boat using the water transport of the Tonegawa River. Go up the Tone River to Ryugasaki and Narita in Ibaraki Prefecture, buy live pigs, put them in a bamboo basket, first ship to Choshi, put the unpaved road in a rear car, and then put it on the SL running on the Sobu Main Line. It seems that it was shipped to Tokyo. In the Taisho era, Hisaya Iwasaki (Mitsubishi zaibatsu) opened a Suehiro farm in Nanae, Tomisato Village, Imba District (currently Tomisato City), and has 200 breeding pigs on hand, up to 1,000 breeding, hams, sausages, bacon, etc. It seems that the processed products of were also produced. Together with the Livestock Experiment Station of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and the Prefectural Sakura Breeding Farm, which were established after that, it seems that the foundation of pig farming in Chiba Prefecture was laid as a supply center for excellent breeding pigs. “Asahi City, Chiba Prefecture”, Yoshimasa KISO（19th descendant of General Asahi Yoshinaka KISO）, a Sengoku warrior who ruled the area after the fall of the Muromachi Shogunate. 開基 : 殿玉山 西徳院 東漸寺, 1593（Shingon style Chizan-ha）. 懸仏: A three-dimensional statue of Buddha（旭市指定文化財）, 木曽義昌公遺跡（旭市指定文化財）.

It is a highly adaptable plant and is cultivated and loved all over the world because it grows relatively easily in any soil. It is said that it became widespread worldwide when Christopher Columbus brought it back to Europe in the 15th century. In August 1492, the group departed from a Spanish port and sailed west to west in order to obtain Zipangu's golden country and Indian pepper. After a long voyage, I finally discovered the West Indies.They believed that this was India, called the natives Indians, and thought that the small red spicy fruits they saw there were peppers because of the way the natives used them, and brought them back to their country. Initially, the aroma was so poor that it was so spicy that the bright red fruits were merely cultivated for ornamental purposes. However, in Spain and Portugal, it was not possible to grow pepper with the flavor and spiciness that Europeans liked at the time, but it is said that spicy peppers could be easily cultivated. For that reason, it is said that it was gradually used as a spice. There are pungent and sweet varieties, and when it is called chili pepper, it usually refers to pungent varieties. 紅葉の山を思わせる多量の唐辛子; 浮世草子 / 世間胸算用, 1692; 大晦日は一日千金, I wrote Saikaku IHARA: In January, it was published by Osaka / Itamiya Taroemon, Kyoto / Uemura Heizaemon, and Edo / Manya Seibei as publishers, and consists of five volumes. “人間五十年の究まり それさへ我にはあまりたるにましてや 浮世の月見過しにけり末二年” - 西鶴置土産. “Green chili”, It is an immature chili pepper that turns red when it is fully ripened on the tree while it is still growing. Red pepper is a ripe green pepper. Well-known as a raw material for Yuzu Pepper, the skin and green pepper are made into a paste, and salt is added for aging. I hear that the peak season for green chili peppers is from July to September, and that the varieties are mainly “hot parasol” with high yields. When you think of it as a literally spicy umbrella, it's like a closed umbrella. It's a little spicy, but I can't stand the spicy spiciness that stimulates my appetite. It is said that a soil temperature of around 28 ° C is required for germination. The planting period for open-field cultivation is based on the time when there is no concern about late frost, and temporary attraction is performed after planting to prevent lodging due to the wind. Pruning removes all the axillary buds below from the first branch (where the first flower settles). Topdressing should be done when the fruits are the most enlarged to some extent. As the branches grow, they are attracted firmly to prevent lodging, and it is recommended to take early action against pests. It is colored and fully ripe in about 50 to 60 days after flowering, and the cropping table shows the harvest period of ripe fruits, which is about 30 days after flowering. The standard for harvesting fruits and vegetables is when the skin color becomes darker and the skin becomes glossy.

Chili peppers are said to be spicy as they mature. In other words, red pepper is more spicy than green chili. This is because capsaicin accumulates in the white cotton area around the seed, called the placenta. That's why it gets hotter as it matures. It is said that if you make red pepper and dry it, the spiciness will increase further. It is a plant of the genus Capsicum of the Solanaceae family, and I heard that the country of origin is Central and South America. It is said that it was transmitted from Central and South America to Europe, via India and China, and then to Japan in the 16th century. Thousands of varieties are cultivated all over the world, and it is indispensable for various dishes such as Korean food, Chinese food, ethnic food, and curry. In addition to common red peppers and green chili, there are also varieties such as yellow, orange, and purple. In addition, peppers and paprika are also plants of the genus Capsicum of the Solanaceae family, which is the same as chili peppers. Certainly, I feel that the shapes and textures are somewhat similar. In addition, it has a bactericidal and insect repellent effect, and if you put dried red pepper in a rice bowl, insects will not easily attach to the rice. It is said that pests can be prevented by soaking in shochu with garlic, diluting it and spraying it on plants.

It seems that green chili has an appetite-promoting effect and can be expected to prevent it in the summer. The hot days continue this year, so why not give it a try? The recommended way to eat it is green chili miso. It can also be used for rice balls and various dishes, so please come with your children!

As for the knowledge, chili peppers continue to spread throughout Japan from the Warring States period to the Azuchi-Momoyama period and the early Edo period. The use for food is rather modern, and it seems that when chili peppers first arrived in Japan, they were treated as poisons due to their spiciness, or they were put in japanese socks with split toe to prevent frost burning.

Japanese Lantern Festival in KOGA: Known as a strange festival in the Kanto region. Held on the 1 Saturday of December at the Festival Special Venue in front of the west exit of KOGA Station. A lantern is attached to the tip of a bamboo pole with About 20 young people from a length of 10 to 18 m. At this festival, the priest of Nogi Shrine, which was the territory of the KOGA feudal clan in the Edo period (currently Nogi Town, Shimotsuga District, Tochigi Prefecture), dedicated the Gods halberd. Riding a horse, visiting the subordinate shrine of Shichiga-mura, the shrine's territory, finishing the "Nanago Tour" and returning to the office at the end of December 3rd, the people who greeted with lanterns to survive the cold It started with rubbing the bodies together, and the name was said to be "homecoming."

Ibaraki Prefecture has the largest acreage and production volume in Japan. More than 90% is cultivated in the Rokko area, boasting the largest cultivation area and production volume in Japan. Recommended for barbecue in the coming season as oil improves the absorption of nutrients in peppers. Ibaraki Green peppers, which pursue “safety, security, and freshness” through a cultivation method that takes quality and the environment into consideration, are characterized by their deep color, gloss, soft meat, and less bitterness. Bell pepper is a plant of the Solanaceae family native to tropical America. The name comes from French (piment), and in English it is called bell pepper, and the green one is called green pepper. As the name suggests, peppers are a member of pepper, but they are not spicy because they contain almost no capsaicin, which is a spicy ingredient. In the past, it seemed that many people were not good at the unique green odor, but recently, breeding has progressed, and varieties with less loss are being born. “Koga City, Ibaraki Prefecture”, It is located in the center of the Kanto Plain, at the western end of the prefecture.

Dedicated with a prayer for a good harvest, disaster control, and extinction of the plague. A long time ago, it was called “Kabasan Bayashi” until the Meiji era because it was also used for festivals at Kabasan Shrine. Hayashi, which has been handed down in this area, was handed down by a Kagura servant living in 東山田五味蔵 (Yonekura) in 1772-80, and is said to have reached the present day. It has been declining since before World War II, and was inherited as a comfort for the elderly until around 1960, but it was revived after the awakening of a young man. Currently, 7 branches (Morokawa, Komagome, 宿, Yonekura, Onna, Setoyashiki, Shimouchi) are active. The “Koga Peach Festival” will be held from late March to early April at the Furukawa Comprehensive Park, which has about 1,500 peaches of five types. The peach forest in the general park is considered to be the best peach forest in Japan. The first event was held in 1977, shortly after the opening of the general park. Peach is characterized by darker flowers than cherry blossoms. “Koga Castle” was located on the left bank of the Watarase River, and now most of the ruins have been lost due to river improvement, leaving only some of the earthworks and moats. It has a long history and was built at the end of the Heian period by the later Gokenin of the Kamakura Shogunate, Yukihira Shimokawabe. The castle at that time and until the time of Koga public affairs in the Muromachi Period is not known in detail, but it is said that it was a natural fortress on a long plateau between the Watarase River on the west side and a swamp on the east side. The castle area in the Edo Period, including the water moat, was approximately 500 m east-west and 2 km north-south, making it one of the largest in the Kanto region. The west side of the castle was the Watarase River, and the other three sides were water moats. In the structure, a plurality of curved rings surrounded by earthen walls were arranged in a straight line, and there were a main circle, a outer citadel, a Sannomaru, and the like. The castle tower was not built, but the tower on the 3rd and 4th floors, which was 22 m high and was built in the northwest corner of the main enclosure, was the actual castle tower. As the only remains of Furukawa Castle, the Inuimon remains as the gate of the Fukuhoji Temple (Otani sect of Shinshu) in Koga City. The Koga Castle Ochayaguchi Monument along the Old Nikko Kaido used Koga Castle as an inn when the third shogun, IEMITSU, visited Nikko. It is said that it is the site of a teahouse established by the castle owner Toshikatsu DOI to entertain it. Since then, it has been a customary place to greet the shogun and the prestigious daimyo, and the other party also comes to greet here（aesthetic sense in Japanese art centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection; 侘び寂び ≒ WASABI）. Since then, it has been a customary place to greet the shogun and the prestigious daimyo, and the other party also comes to greet here. It is said that the other daimyo were treated at the treats bansho in Sakana Town.

Koga City is located in the center of the Kanto region, at the westernmost tip of Ibaraki Prefecture, and is famous for its history and tradition, with nature rich in water and greenery facing the Tone and Watarase rivers. Even now, the city is dotted with many temples and shrines that retain the remnants of castle towns and post towns. In addition, it seems that historical and cultural facilities are concentrated at the west exit of Furukawa Station, such as the Furukawa Historical Museum and the Tenkoku Museum. Hanamomo no Sato, Furukawa Comprehensive Park (also known as Koga Park. Area of about 23ha (maintained). Opened in 1975. About 2000 peach trees are famous. The peach festival is held in spring. There are also Oga lotus (meaning the ancient lotus fruit found at the Kemigawa site in Hanamigawa-ku, Chiba city in 1951) and Ayameen, where you can enjoy seasonal flowers. Furukawa's peaches are in Edo. At the beginning of the era, Toshikatsu Doi, the feudal lord, had the children of Edo's vassals collect peach seeds and sent them to Furukawa in an attempt to enrich the lives of the people as much as possible. It grows in a few years and can be eaten. It is said that the trees can also be used as firewood. After that, around 1764-80, the peaches were replanted, and so It seems that it has become known as a famous place for peaches. It seems that the peaches that were planted at that time were edible varieties such as Hanbei Peach, Kintoki Peach, Tianjin Peach, and Suimitsu Peach. There was a special train from Ueno Station, and there was a dance of Geiko and a horse racing tournament at the venue. During the war, Momobayashi was changed to a field of wheat and land rice to increase food production. Since then, the momentum for revival has increased, and maintenance has started in 1973. In 2003, it was the first in Japan to receive the "3rd Melina Mercuri International Award for the Protection and Management of Cultural Landscapes" sponsored by UNESCO and Greece. This award was established in 1992 to honor outstanding activities aimed at preserving and managing the world's major cultural landscapes. Melina Mercuri (1923-94) is the Minister of Culture of Greece, working to harmonize landscape conservation and sustainable development. Originally active as an actress, she won the Cannes Film Festival Leading Actress Award for "Don't Sunday". The prestigious award was given as a general evaluation that "it was in the suburbs of Tokyo and withstood development pressure", "regeneration of nature and culture by restoration of the disappearing swamp (Gosho-numa)", and "various contacts between nature and humans". The three points of "a design that expresses the nature" and "the activities of the citizens who are familiar with the nature of the four seasons" were highly evaluated.) 1500 peach blossoms of five types are in full bloom, which is pleasing to the eyes of visitors.

Morokawa is also known for the fact that Kazutoyo YAMANOUCHI, a military commander who accompanied Ieyasu Tokugawa's Aizu troops prior to the Battle of Sekigahara, was in the camp in 1600. He received a secret letter from Osaka's wife telling Mitsunari Ishida's troops there, and told Ieyasu, who was currently in Oyama City, Tochigi Prefecture, to get a clue to his standing. Furthermore, Morokawa was developed by the Edo Shogunate as a post town on the side road "Nikko East Highway" of Nikko Toshogu Shrine, and many old townscapes such as the brewery of the soy sauce brewer still remain.

Morokawa is the old post town of Nikko East Return (7th counting from the Mito Kaido branch). Nikko East Return is a government road that branches between Kogane inn and Abiko inn on the Mito Kaido, northeast of Mukai Kogane, passes through castle towns such as Sekijuku and Yuki, and joins the Nikko Kaido between Ishibashi-juku and Jakumiya-juku on the Nikko Kaido. It seems to be new. In addition to the purpose of visiting the Nikko Shasan of the shogun family, it seems that it was also used for the change of attendance of the surrounding daimyo, the transportation of goods, and the common people. The range of the post station seems to be the southern end of the Morokawa crossroads between the current national highway No. 125 and the prefectural highway No. 17 (former Nikko East Return), and the northern end near the Morokawa post office. From the south, it consists of Uemachi, Nakamachi, Shitamachi, and Shinmachi along the Shimotsuma Road, which branches to the east on the way. It can still be recognized as an excellent historical townscape because of the appearance of the Ohashi soy sauce shop's mansion and brewery near the northern end, and there are other brewery and girder-style townhouses left.

Takinogawa Group: Divided into two groups: those that use leaves and stems, and thick types. Burdock dislikes acidic soil and is tolerant to heat and cold, but has poor moisture tolerance. Also, it suffers from repeated cropping problems, so if grown in the same field, It is desirable to leave a cultivation interval of 4 to 5 years. From now, from 2300 to 13000 years ago, during the Jomon period, the Torihama ruins in Wakasa Town, Seeds have been excavated from the Sannai Maruyama ruins in Aomori City and the Oshirodoba ruins in Otaru City. Agriculture, forestry and fisheries, which govern the backbone of Japan, are the key industries of Aomori Prefecture. Rice is created with the aim of creating a shocking flavor that will surprise everyone.

Japanese nationalism includes the ideology advocated by Katsunan KUGA during the Meiji period and the principle of "popular sovereignty" in the Japanese Constitution. Born in Hirosaki, he is involved in unequal treaties, the Ashio Mine Poisoning Incident, and an unequal society. He published the newspaper "Nippon'' for the happiness of the neglected people and for Japan's true independence. He is a man who fought through those difficult times with just a brush.

Even after realizing his death, Shiki Masaoka tearfully spoke of him as "THE benefactor of my life.''

He expressed that there is no one more virtuous.

【Product name】

Burdock from Aomori Prefecture

【Type】

Arctium lappa L.

【Production area】

Aomori Prefecture (JA Zennoh Aomori, Southern 4JA Council)

【Origin of name】

It is said to be derived from the Chinese word "burdock", which has been introduced from China as a medicinal herb since ancient times. From ancient times, "牛" has been used for grasses that resemble "蒡" burdock from large plants.

【Main features】

Burdock is well known as a vegetable peculiar to Japanese food that is not customary to eat in foreign countries, but at the same time, it is also well known as a vegetable with a large amount of imports. The direct reason for the sharp increase in imports from 1998 was that domestic yields decreased by nearly 20% year-on-year due to low temperatures and long rains in the summer of the same year and typhoons in September and October, and prices doubled or tripled. Although it has soared above, it seems that this is not the only reason for the increase in imports. It seems that a major reason was that Japanese import trading companies and seedling companies had been focusing on burdock production in China for several years already in order to make China an export base for burdock. It seems that the reason for focusing on burdock production in China was that the production capacity of burdock began to decline visibly from around 1990 due to the aging of producers in Japan. Even if the domestic production capacity of burdock has declined, it does not seem that the production of burdock has decreased in all regions of Japan. According to the alic survey, when comparing 1990 and 2005, the productivity is certainly declining in most of the major production areas, but it seems that only Aomori Prefecture showed a remarkable increase. There are several reasons why Aomori Prefecture grew while imports increased. For example, in the summer, cold wind descending from the mountains (in the Tohoku region in summer) a cold Pacific wind blows from the Pacific Ocean, so rice cultivation is often hit by cold damage and is affected by the weather. The cultivation of difficult root vegetables is flourishing, the soil of kuroboku, which is rich in loam volcanic ash and rich in rot, is suitable for burdock production, or with a cycle of 3 to 4 years, such as yam, carrots, and garlic. It seems that crop rotation is possible. However, the biggest reason is that JA in the prefecture supported the production of burdock and also focused on its sales. Among them, JA Oirase seems to have actively worked on production support and sales. As a result, the JA jurisdiction (Misawa City, Rokunohe Town, Kamikita District) seems to have become the largest burdock producing area not only in the prefecture but also in the whole country. Going back about 15 years, the quantity and amount accounted for almost a quarter of the total burdock shipment volume and amount in Aomori Prefecture, and more than half of the total burdock sales volume and amount of all JAs in the prefecture. Most of these shipments are currently in wholesale markets such as the central wholesale market. In the Kanto region, we ship to central wholesale markets other than Tokyo and some local wholesale markets, centering on the central wholesale markets of Tokyo such as the Daejeon market and Toshima market, and in other regions, mainly the central wholesale markets. It seems that they are shipping in the form of sending the cargo to the local wholesale market. In particular, looking at the sales aspect of JA Oirase, it seems that the sales destination area of burdock extends from Tohoku to Kyushu and all over the country except Hokkaido. The center is Kanto, with 35% of total shipments directed to the region, followed by 30% to Kyushu and 25% to Tokai. The total amount of destinations to the remaining Tohoku and Kansai areas is 10%. Of course, it is not just shipping over a wide area, but from the perspective of promoting advantageous sales, it seems that we are always trying to ship according to the difference in demand in each region. For example, relatively thick burdock is mainly shipped to Kanto, and thin burdock is shipped to Tokai and Kansai. Most of the shipments are shipped to the wholesale market, although mutual trust has been established for a long time, but it seems that it is not the only one. In the case of the wholesale market, it always sells the entire daily shipment on the same day, accepts shipments of all standards, and the price in the wholesale market seems to be the basis of transactions outside the wholesale market. When it comes to direct transactions with mass retailers, I heard that the standard products required by the other party are limited to the quantity required by the other party, and in many cases, the price will be the same as the wholesale price in the wholesale market. There is. However, although it is not limited to JA, it seems that not all burdock sales were left to the wholesale market. He also actively cultivated sales channels other than the wholesale market. It seems that the aim was to stabilize the management of farmers in the jurisdiction and further strengthen burdock production by increasing stable transactions over a long period of time, that is, contract transactions as much as possible. On July 17, 2013, 4JA (Towada Oirase, Yuuki Aomori, Oirase, Hachinohe) in the south district of Aomori participated and launched the "Prefectural South District 4JA Council". Chinese yam, garlic, burdock, etc. are common. The aim is to increase the income of farmers by strengthening sales of core products, improving cultivation techniques, and jointly purchasing materials. About 30 people including the 4JA union leader and full-time director attended the establishment general meeting held in Towada City on the 17th. At the time of its inauguration, JA Hachinohe's union leader Sasaki was appointed as the chairman, and Yuuki Aomori's Ozeki union leader and Towada Oirase's Takegahara union leader were appointed. Okayama has a history of competing between production areas, but if he participates in Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement, it will be a competition with overseas. There is a history of showing motivation to cooperate as a production area with a sense of crisis. JA Zen-noh Aomori was held on October 7, 2021 by the Kamitosan Wide Area Agricultural Promotion Association (Towada City, Misawa City, Yokohama Town, Noheji Town, Tohoku Town, Shichinohe Town, Oirase Town, Rokkasho Town, Rokkasho). Held a sales measures meeting in Towada, attended by JA staff and market participants. Reported that the planned shipment quantity for 2021 was set to 10200 tons. The growth of the 21st year production is set in consideration of the accumulated quantity from JA, considering that the roots tend to be short roots mainly in the M / 2M class from the result of the crop survey. Compared to the previous year's production, which had a smaller shipment volume than in normal years, the volume increased by 17%, and we decided to work on planned stable shipments to priority markets and implementation of distribution adjustments in consideration of regional / market characteristics and inventory quantity. It seems. In addition, it has been decided to expand the sales floor by conducting a promotion event by remote control at the store and a PR plan through TV programs, etc. toward the peak demand period. It seems that it was expected that the shipment volume of this prefecture's product would exceed the previous year's production as the stock of Kanto product was low. The Kamitosan Wide Area Agricultural Promotion Association was established in 1972 as the Kamikita Wide Area Vegetable Production and Shipping Promotion Association, and seems to have become the current organizational structure in 2018. The members seem to be 13 members of 9 municipalities, 3 agricultural cooperatives (Towada Oirase Agricultural Cooperative, Yuuki Aomori Agricultural Cooperative, Oirase Agricultural Cooperative), and Zen-noh Aomori Prefecture Headquarters. The Yasai Package Center, which is managed by JA Zen-Noh Aomori Prefecture Headquarters, seems to be expanding its yam, garlic and burdock cutting and packaging businesses by utilizing the stable supply from Japan's largest and most influential production areas. In particular, regarding yam, it seems that it has realized the securing of sales channels in urban areas by smoothly responding to the needs of actual consumers by increasing the number of items. It seems that the accumulation of responses to the needs of actual consumers has led to the expansion of the handling volume to a certain scale of 10% of the current system shipment volume. In addition to securing sales channels, these efforts seem to play an important role in understanding consumption patterns in urban areas. It is an easy package center that is expanding the handling volume, but it seems that there are still issues left. As for items other than yam, the handling volume is limited, so it seems that the response to the increase in demand of actual consumers is limited. It goes without saying that Aomori Prefecture is the production center of burdock, which boasts the largest shipment volume in Japan. Even in the prefecture, the Pacific side is the main production area, but there seems to be a reason why burdock cultivation is popular in this area. Normally, the climate is disadvantageous for the production of agricultural products, but it seems that it was perfect for burdock who prefers a cool climate. It is a gift of the wisdom of our predecessors. Burdock in this region is white and beautiful in color, has a strong scent, and is proud of being tight enough that the fiber does not get in the way. In addition, because it is grown in a cool climate, it requires less pest control and is very popular in the market. I would like to see an example of JA Oirase. For early spring sowing (sown from mid-April to early May), Tsuneyutaka burdock (Yanagawa Seeding Study Group Co., Ltd. (Omitama City, Ibaraki Prefecture): Gamma line to Riso yanagawa burdock at the Radiation Breeding Farm of the Agricultural Technology Research Institute in 1969. It is a fixed variety that has been cultivated through repeated selections at Ibaraki and Morioka farms. Riso yanagawa burdock (Yanagawa Study Group Co., Ltd .: Fruits and vegetables) is used for spring sowing (sown from early May to mid-June) after confirming that varieties that can be shipped early have characteristics that meet the breeding target in 1984. In 1948, Nagano, Chiba, Tokyo, Saitama, Aichi, etc. Obtain seeds from the prefecture and start a comparative study of quality. Among them, select one line obtained from Saitama and pay attention to the following points. Mainly cultivated). It seems that the harvest time is from the end of August to the middle of November when the long harvest begins, and the harvest is stored in the refrigerator and planned to be shipped until the middle of February. It is mainly sold to the market, but it seems that about 30 hectares of special cultivation of reduced pesticides and reduced chemical fertilizers are contract cultivation. It seems that they are shipped in two types: 10 kg cardboard and 4 kg plastic bags. Since the selection criteria are mainly for selling one or two bottles in retail, it seems that they are divided by the weight of one bottle and the number of bottles. In addition, since burdock has different tastes in each region, we ship burdock of the standard that the region prefers, mainly for small items with a thickness of M or more in the Kanto region and 2M or less in the west of the Chukyo region. Since the summer is cool in the Oirase area, there is little spraying of pesticides, and it seems that a system is in place to keep consumers relieved by keeping control records for all items. Among them, burdock has been certified by the "All-Agricultural Safety System" since 2004, and has undergone rigorous inspection by a third-party organization to meet consumer’s demands for safety and security, and is a production area where the whole picture of efforts can be glimpsed. It is also popular as a calorie and healthy food. Among them, it is widely known that it contains a large amount of dietary fiber. Dietary fiber has the effect of adsorbing carcinogens in the bowel, so it is expected to reduce the concentration of carcinogens and reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer. It seems to shorten the stagnation time of carcinogens. In addition, it has been clarified from the results of research that lignin in dietary fiber has an antibacterial effect and an effect of suppressing the development of cancer cells. In addition, it also excretes cholesterol, etc., so it seems to be effective in preventing arteriosclerosis. Furthermore, it is expected to be effective in cancer, constipation, stomach cramps, mouth ulcer, skin troubles, and recovery from fatigue.

Burdock produced in Aomori Prefecture has a good aroma and flavor, and is characterized by a crispy texture that is firm enough that the fiber does not get in the way. In addition, because of its high quality, it is highly evaluated by the market. The production volume is the highest in Japan, and the main production areas seem to be concentrated on the Pacific side such as Misawa City, Towada City, Oirase Town, and Rokunohe Town. The Pacific side has a cool summer climate with cold wind descending from the mountains in the summer, the number of pest control is small, and the heightened health boom in recent years has made it the most highly regarded and expanding production.

The season for burdock from Aomori prefecture is from September to November. Burdock seeds are sown from April to June and grown in the soil for an average of 130 to 150 days. After being harvested in early autumn, they are stored in the refrigerator and can be shipped almost all year round. In addition, burdock, which is a root vegetable, is a crop when "making soil" greatly affects the quality. In Aomori Prefecture, from fiscal 2007, "the healthiest soil preparation campaign in Japan (in Aomori Prefecture, in promoting the" aggressive agriculture, forestry and fisheries industry "that emphasizes sales from the consumer's point of view, the safety, security and quality that consumers demand. In order to strengthen the production area system that can stably produce and supply various agricultural products, all farmers in the prefecture will work on "healthy soil preparation" which is the basis of agricultural production in close cooperation with municipalities and related organizations. We are developing the "Japan's Healthyst Soil Making Campaign" aiming for this. From 2022, we will carry out the campaign based on the 3rd term "Japan's Healthyest Soil Making" promotion plan formulated in March 2022. Implementation. In order to prepare the soil environment where crops grow well, based on the soil diagnosis, organic materials such as compost and soil improvement materials are properly applied to the agricultural land, and appropriate soil management that combines deep cultivation and rotation is carried out. It seems that soil will be created with a good balance of physical, chemical and biological properties. In recent years, there are concerns that farmers' motivation for soil preparation will decline due to the aging of farmers and labor shortages. While the prices of fertilizers, fuels, agricultural materials, etc. are on the rise, the utilization of organic materials such as proper fertilization and compost based on soil diagnosis will lead to the practice of stable agricultural management. Soil) , and while conducting soil diagnosis and effectively utilizing organic resources such as rice straw and compost, it seems that they are working to create well-balanced and healthy soil according to the characteristics of crops and the condition of the field. This healthy soil allows the crops to grow robustly, producing good quality, delicious burdock by skilled farmers.

In Aomori prefecture, the cultivation of vegetables using the wide and abundant cultivated land and the cool summer climate has been a problem. The produced vegetables are shipped fresh to consumption areas such as Kanto and Kansai using pre-cooled storage facilities and highways. It responds to consumer preferences and needs because it produces less pests and does not use much pesticides. It seems that mainly root vegetables such as excellent japanese yam, garlic, and burdock, as well as vegetables such as green onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, and cabbage that were suitable for the summer. In addition, the production value of vegetables is the highest in the Tohoku region, and the shipment volume of garlic and burdock is the highest in Japan.
