120km to 150km from Tokyo. Located in the northwestern part of Yamanashi Prefecture, it borders Nagano Prefecture on the north and west sides, and Kofu City, Kai City, Nirasaki City, and Minami-Alps City on the east and south sides. It is surrounded by the Yatsugatake mountain range to the north, the Southern Alps from Mt. Kai-komagatake to the southwest, and the Chichibu mountains such as Mt. Kayagatake and Mt. Mizugaki to the northeast. Tourism with one of the most beautiful natural landscapes in Japan, such as majestic mountain scenery, clean and abundant water, idyllic rural and rural scenery, cool highland climate, and a concentration of tourist recreation facilities and stay-type resort facilities. Resort area. The volcanic plateau spreading at the foot of Mt. Yatsugatake and Mt. form one big unity. About 80% of the land use is forest area, and the rest consists of agricultural land and village land.

The national butterfly, Omurasaki, was selected as the national butterfly in 1957 by the Entomological Society of Japan as a magnificent and magnificent butterfly that is representative of Japan and is proud of the world. Sasakia charonda is a large member of the family nymphalidae, with a wingspan of over 10 cm. The upper side of the wings of males shines a beautiful purple color, while females lack this purple shine. Adults emerge from late June to late July, and are distributed in Japan from Hokkaido to Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu, and overseas in China, Vietnam, Taiwan, and the Korean Peninsula. As for the name, the name Omurasaki comes from the family Nymphalidae, Komurasaki family [Scientific name] Sasakia charonda Hewitson. "Sasakia'' is the name of Dr. Chujiro Sasaki (1857-1938), who can be called the founder of Japanese entomology. The name "charonda'' comes from the famous legal scholar "Charondas'' who was born in Sicily, Italy, around 640 AD, and "Hewitson'' is a British name. It was introduced to the world by Robert Fortune and Hewitson, hence its scientific name. 1956 Sasakia charonda commemorative stamp is issued. In 1957, it was selected as the national butterfly by the Entomological Society of Japan. The reason for this is that it is brave, dignified, and splendid (has a graceful beauty), and that it is distributed all over Japan. Currently, the Environment Agency has selected it as one of the indicator insects that can be used as a guide for measuring the natural environment. In its larval stage, it feeds on the leaves of Celtis sinensis, a hackberry tree. In the adult stage, they suck the sap of oak trees, oaks, willows, etc., but they also suck the sap of rotten fruits and animal excrement. It prefers to live in wooded areas of sawtooth oak and konara oak in satoyama, where humans and forests are deeply connected. For the national butterfly, Celtis sinensis and sawtooth oak thickets are the source of life. This is because Sasakia charonda is born in Celtis sinensis, feeds on hackberry leaves as a larva, sucks oak tree sap when it becomes a butterfly, lays eggs in Celtis sinensis, and dies near Celtis sinensis. If people stop touching the bushes, they will become difficult to live in. They usually live for one year, survive the winter as larvae, and become adults in the summer (July is the peak season in Nagasaka Town, Kitakoma District (Hokuto City)), and the adults die after spawning in August. But the next life will come again.

【Producing area】

Higashiide, Takane Town, Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture (Kazusa Vegetable Tech Ltd.)
【Origin of name】
From the Latin chaerephylla. It means “leaf of joy”. It seems that the origin is that it can be used as an herb, it can also be used for cooking, it has abundant effects and efficacy, and it is rich in nutrients.
【Major features】

Chervil is an annual herb that belongs to the Apiaceae family. It is characterized by delicate green lace-like leaves, and when placed on sweets, it has a natural and lovely atmosphere. Since it has a mild flavor, it has little effect on the taste of confectionery. Impression that the taste is diluted, but similar to parsley. I have heard that it originated from southern Russia to western Asia, especially the Caucasus region, and was widely introduced to Europe by Rome. Its current habitat is all over Europe and the northeastern United States. The plant is 30 to 60 cm tall, and the leaves are finely cut like feathers, creating a delicate and soft atmosphere. Young leaves are soft and bright green. The main flowering season is early summer, and the tip of the flower stalk is finely divided, and many small white flowers bloom. The seeds are sown in spring or autumn, and the leaves are picked and used as they grow. The species name Cerephorium means “waxy” and is derived from the texture of the foliage. In Japan, the same fellow Anthriscus sylvestris [A.aemuld] grows naturally. Shaku is also called mountain carrot, and the young shoots are used as a wild vegetable. It appears in documents from the Roman era (originally a plant native to the Caucasus region such as Georgia and Armenia. It has been popular in Europe for a long time, and it is said that it was already eaten in the Roman era), and it has been eaten since that time. It seems that you know that Christians believe it has the power to purify the body and has a history of use in cooking before Easter. In addition, it is often used as an herb for cooking rather than for ornamental purposes, and it seems that the cultivation method to increase the yield is taken by picking the leaves before the flowers appear. There are two varieties, one that uses the leaves for cooking and the other that uses the root, with leaf chervil being more common. The type that eats the root is called “root chervil”, and it is characterized by a taste like a combination of walnuts and carrots. Roots as large as potatoes are eaten in soup. The leaves are poisonous and should be handled with care. A number of gigantic temples were built in the center of the ruins, and it was in the stage of urban civilization, so it seems that it was attracting attention. In addition, it is said that writing appeared in the final period of Uruk, and it seems that about 5,000 pieces of the oldest clay tablets with letters that became the prototype of cuneiform writing were excavated from the Uruk ruins. About 85% of it is accounting records that record things and their quantities, and it is a story from our modern point of view how large and complex the economy of the temple of Uruk was. Naturally, it seems that a bureaucratic organization such as officials who created these accounting records and managers who supervised those officials was completed. It seems that the ruler who oversaw everything in this organization was called En. Uruk is the oldest and largest city-state among the city-states created by the Sumerians who created the Mesopotamian civilization, which was a Sumerian city-state. It is located on the left bank of the Euphrates, near present-day Warqa in Iraq. It is sometimes referred to as the Uruk First Dynasty of Sumer. It has been excavated by German Julius Jordan since 1913, about 110 years ago, after the First World War. It seems that the remains of a Sumerian temple were found in the stratum beneath the Parthian ruins. Uruk was found to have an urban area of 100 hectares, with a huge temple in the middle. What surprised people most was the discovery of hundreds of pictographic documents dating from around 3200 B.C., believed to be the world’s oldest writing system. It is believed that this script was the prototype for cuneiform. It used to be a prosperous city for a long time, but it goes without saying that it fell into ruin because the flow of the Euphrates River shifted about 20 km. Cuneiform was the logogram for writing the Sumerian language, but in the Phoenician city of Ugarit, which was engaged in trade on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean around the 15th century BC, there were about 500 types of cuneiform, but only a few. It came to be used as a phonogram of about 30 letters, and it seems that the same way as the so-called alphabet began to be used. Ugarit was destroyed around the 12th century BC by the invasion of the Sea Peoples, but it is said that cuneiform characters were borrowed by other peoples because the number of letters was reduced. The Akkadians, who conquered the Sumerian city-states and unified Mesopotamia for the first time in the 24th century BC, used the Semitic Akkadian language, but because they did not know the alphabet, they apparently borrowed the Sumerian cuneiform script. Since the rule of Akkad extended to all of Mesopotamia, cuneiform writing seems to have come to be widely used throughout Mesopotamia. In Egypt in the 14th century BC, Amenhotep IV (Akhenaton) moved the capital to Tell el-Amarna, where he forced a kind of cultural revolution called the Amarna Revolution. The group of documents that are said to have reached some 380 points, and it seems that they were international documents in Akkadian written in cuneiform. During this period, it seems clear that Akkadian and cuneiform were used as a common international language and a common script throughout the Orient, including Egypt. The Assyrian Empire, which unified the Orient in the first half of the 7th century BC, also used both Assyrian and Aramaic as official languages, and cuneiform script was apparently used to write Akkadian. The Achaemenid Empire of Persia, which ruled over West Asia, a neighboring region of the world, seems to have used cuneiform as the official script for writing Persian. However, the Persian Empire was conquered by Alexander III (World Conqueror: 20 July 356 B.C.-June 323 B.C.), King of Ancient Macedonia, who established a vast empire extending from Macedonia to Egypt, Greece, Persia, and parts of India. One of the most famous rulers in history), the cuneiform script fell out of use during the Hellenistic period and was eventually forgotten. Going back to Dill’s story, it goes well with seafood and is often used in fish dishes, but its refreshing flavor goes well with yogurt, cheese, mayonnaise, etc., and it seems to be used in a variety of dishes. The dried leaves and seeds are used to remove the odor of meat dishes, and to add flavor to pickles, soups, cakes, etc. The fresh leaves and stems look cute, so they are also used as decorations and toppings. It seems that there are many. On March 11, 2022, Kimitsu City announced that it would light up the castle tower at the site of Kururi Castle in Kururi, the city, in the colors of the Ukrainian flags of blue and yellow. From sunset on March 12-21 to 7:30 pm, Iwanaga Seminar, Kimitsu Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Kimitsu, Meiji Gakuin University Faculty of Sociology, working on an old folk house restoration project in the area and interacting with Ukrainians It seems that the three parties of the City Deputy Nuclear Promotion Council have cooperated and decided to implement it with condolences to the victims of Ukraine, where the military invasion by Russia continues, and prayers for peace. He heard that he plans to use SNS to add multilingual comments to the world in the future, and he also said that the Kururi Castle Ruins Museum will close at 4:30 pm, but the climbing road It’s open so you can see it nearby. Donation boxes have been set up at the city hall and administrative centers on March 11 for humanitarian assistance to Ukraine. The first large stable in Yamanashi Prefecture, where active racehorses recover from fatigue and adjust conditions, was completed in Kiyosato, Takane Town, Hokuto City, and has been accepted since September 2021. Even in the summer, the cool and natural land is said to be ideal for horse rest, and according to the Japan Racing Association (JRA), there are only limited facilities such as Hokkaido that can accommodate more than 50 horses. It can accommodate 52 heads, and it seems that up to 80 heads can be accommodated including the existing stables. In addition to the shower room for 6 horses, the new stable is equipped with a treatment device that warms the body with infrared rays and loosens the muscles. Horsebridge Co., Ltd. (formerly Kosuda Ranch), which operates stables, has been retraining and selling to equestrian clubs nationwide since 2016 so that retired racehorses can play an active role in horse riding. There seems to be. It is said that the number of horses sold is more than 100 a year, and at most 200 horses a year. However, due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, the riding clubs have been suspended one after another, and demand seems to have dropped sharply.『カズサの愛彩グループ』Each employee cherishes the quality of agricultural products, constantly challenges to improve production technology, and is a producer trusted by consumers. He contributes to the future of agriculture and food and works hard every day. “Kazusa Becitec” has a reputation for original ramen made with plenty of its own vegetables. Timeless soy sauce ramen is also popular. Parsley’s scientific name is Petroselinum crispum. Cultivation as an herb spread in Europe in the 16th century, and it seems that it was later brought to the United States. I heard that it was cultivated mainly in the vegetable garden for food and ornamental purposes. Allium schoenoprasum var. Foliosum and its varieties of the same species have been native to Japan for a long time, and it is clear that they have been described in Wamyo Ruijusho(Dictionary with Japanese definitions of kanji and kanji compounds selected by Minamoto no Sitago at the behest of Emperor Daigo’s Princess Kinshi imperial princess. It is also said to have been edited during the Johei era (931-938). There are 10 volumes and 20 volumes, but there seems to be some debate as to which one is the original. It seems that the 10-volume book is divided into 24 parts and 128 gates, and the 20-volume book is divided into 32 parts and 249 gates(二十巻本は, 職官, 国郡, 郷里, 曲調, 薬名など, 語彙や地名を列挙するのみの部門があり). It is a kind of encyclopedia that explains the sources of Chinese words, syllabary sounds, and Japanese names. The Japanese name is written in Man’yogana, which is a valuable resource for studying ancient vocabulary. Some Manuscripts have a tone mark and can be used as an accent material. It seems that many citations do not exist. Also, it seems that many Japanese names for everyday items, which are rarely seen in literary works, are used. As a research book of this book, it seems that there is Kariya Ekisai’s commentary Wamyo Ruijusho (established in 1827). )and Engishiki(It seems that status and formula are the detailed enforcement regulations of the legislative act, which was the basic law of ancient Japan. There is no clear distinction between case and formula. Most of the “Engi-shiki” still exist, and it is a valuable historical source for learning about the Heian period society. It seems that the detailed enforcement regulations for the legislative act have already been created and enforced by the department in charge as needed since the Nara period. However, it seems that an integrated formula was requested because the contents of the formulas under each jurisdiction would be inconsistent and discrepancy would occur if they were dealt with separately. The ones compiled there are Konin-Shiki Code and Jogan-shiki Code. However, it seems that Jogan-shiki Code was not the final version that integrated Konin-Shiki Code, but complemented Konin-Shiki Code and covered the whole. Therefore, the integrated version of “formula”, which was completed in one piece, was eagerly awaited, but it seems that it was extremely difficult to compile. Compiled in the 10th century, it is a collection of detailed administrative regulations that can be called a business manual for ancient officials. The volume is 50 volumes, about 3540 articles, including various regulations on the performance of official duties, rituals and rituals, equipment and furnishings used in the palace and their raw materials, foods, pharmaceuticals, textile products, etc. Various items are listed. It can be said to be an ancient encyclopedia, and is famous as a valuable material not only for ancient history but also for many research fields. However, it seems that the obstacles are that the amount of description is enormous and the description covers various fields, and that the content is esoteric and limited to only the matters necessary for business.)and have been edible. It’s not clear when European chives were brought in. It is widely distributed in Eurasia, North America, etc., and its morphological variation is remarkable, and it seems that there are various theories in terms of classification. Chives cultivated in Europe and the United States are said to have been cultivated by a group of Allium schoenoprasum var. Foliosum. It seems that there are eight types of chives native to Japan, including Allium schoenoprasum var. Foliosum, Allium schoenoprasum L. var., A. Schoenoprasum. V. Schoenoprasum. The odor peculiar to Allium is a component called allyl sulfide, which is said to promote the secretion of digestive enzymes, help increase appetite, and increase the absorption of vitamin B1. It has a delicate flavor even with green onions, so it seems to be used in various dishes. Also, a perennial herb of Asatsuki’s companion. It has a milder spiciness and bitterness than green onions and has a mild aroma. A lot of small purple flowers come out from June to July. Chives are a family of very thin green onions, but it seems that early harvested pale blue-green,chive (Allium schoenoprasum) may also be sold as chives. It’s awesome, but it’s a group of green onions that are distributed in the temperate and boreal zones of the Northern Hemisphere. It is also called the chives in the plural because many plants stick to each other near the ground and grow thick. It is an herb that uses leaves for flavoring and accenting dishes, and is close to condiments. In addition, a thin cylindrical hollow leaf is extended from the ground, and the plant height is about 30 cm. In early summer, red-purple florets bloom in a ball shape. The appearance of pompoms blooming at the tips of the leaves seems to be cute and highly valuable. It is not the main, but it looks great when planted in groups on the edges of flower beds. The leaves tend to die in winter, but since they are perennials, they sprout and grow every year. Although it is used for cooking, it is ideal for coloring and flavoring salads, soups, marinades, etc. Since heating for a long time spoils the flavor, it seems that it is better to finish the dish or serve it in a bowl and then shake it. Like Asatsuki, it seems to go well with Japanese-style dishes such as noodle condiments and miso soup. Kazusa Veggie Tech Co., Ltd. is a member of the Kimitsu City Certified Agricultural Council. In addition, the association is a gathering of professional farmers approved by the mayor of Kimitsu, and is working to revitalize agriculture in Kimitsu City. The purpose is to convey the appeal of agriculture to everyone and to let them know the importance of agriculture, mainly through the edamame harvest festival and the agricultural experience “rice cultivation”. In the future, we will continue to enhance the council business, expand the number of new certified farmers, activate information exchange activities while deepening mutual exchanges, and receive guidance and advice from related organizations to all members. Seems to become an attractive farmer and develop activities that can play an active role as the core of regional agriculture. Kimitsu green soybeans harvest festival is a participatory harvest festival sponsored by the Kimitsu City Certified Agricultural Council, and you can bring back enough green soybeans to tie to the locally purchased straw rope. Green soybeans is a native species “Koito nativeⓇ” that has been protected and raised in the Koito River basin. Kimitsu’s autumn taste is characterized by its strong sweetness and faint aroma. Kimitsu City is located in the central part of the Boso Peninsula, and the northwestern part facing Tokyo Bay has an industrial area centered on one of the world’s leading ironworks and an orderly divided urban area. It is within 50 kilometers from Tokyo. Also, since Kimitsu Station is the first station for rapid trains, you can sit back and commute to work, and it seems that you can use your commuting time for reading.

In addition, the industry is thriving, and the flower “color (water-based)” found in wedding bouquets for weddings boasts the highest production in Japan. It has the charm of the city and nature in the second largest city area in Chiba prefecture. The history of the name doesn’t seem to be that old. In 1878, it seems to be one of the old examples that the current Kisarazu Daiichi Elementary School was named “Kimitsu Ko”. As a place name, Kimitsu District was born in 1897, and Kimitsu was used for the first time here. It seems that it has begun to be broken. The goal of the agriculture and forestry industry in the Kimitsu region of Chiba Prefecture is to utilize the rich natural environment, tourism resources, highway network, and other regional characteristics to develop large-scale paddy field farming, corporate dry-field farming, rice farming, and regional specialties. Various types of management suitable for geographical conditions are carried out, such as combined compound management and tourist-type experience farms. We are promoting to increase the vitality of the region. For this reason, we will implement initiatives to promote regional agriculture, focusing on major measures, and will focus on the four major sectors of the region: horticulture, agriculture, livestock, and forestry.

In order to secure local farmers, we will promote the elimination of dilapidated farmland, the improvement of farming conditions, and the consolidation and consolidation of farmland to bearers by utilizing intermediate farmland management projects based on discussions on people and farmland plans. In hilly and mountainous areas, it seems that they recognize the importance of small-scale farmers who support village functions and provide support for management stability and development. In addition, it seems that they are promoting cooperative use of agricultural work and machinery by strengthening cooperation with the city and the agricultural committee and supporting the establishment and development of organizational management bodies such as community farming organizations. In addition to promoting the conclusion of family management agreements, we are also cultivating female leaders to promote the participation of female farmers in management and regional agriculture. In order to secure a stable labor force, it seems that support is being provided for securing a wide range of human resources, such as employment of foreigners and securing human resources through collaboration between agriculture and welfare. In addition, in order to prevent accidents in farm work, it seems that they will work with promotion groups such as the Chiba Prefecture Agricultural Machinery Council to improve farm work safety awareness. In order to secure new farmers from inside and outside of agriculture as a means of securing new human resources to support agriculture and promoting the entry of companies, we will maintain close communication with related organizations and set up a farming consultation desk at the agricultural office. Secure farming opportunities. In addition, for new farmers, the grant of national farming funds and the acquisition of cultivation techniques, etc. To hold seminars for We will work to establish ourselves as a leader in regional agriculture. There have been a certain number of inquiries from companies about entering agriculture, and we are working with Kimitsu City and the Agricultural Committee to respond appropriately to interested companies.

In addition, we will promote the development of agricultural production infrastructure that enables the use of smart agricultural technology. Furthermore, in order to widely spread the efforts of production areas that have introduced smart agricultural technology, we will cooperate with the city, JA, etc., raise awareness of farmers by introducing good examples, and hold workshops in each region. Information related to smart farming, such as demonstration effects of related technologies, is provided to farmers through visiting guidance and consultation by extension instructors. Strengthening and enhancing the production base. Taking advantage of the location condition of good access from the city center, vegetables selling freshness. In order to strengthen the system of production areas, we will support the introduction of facilities and machinery necessary for improving the productivity of ambitious farmers, promote the planned replanting of aging fruit trees, and expand the production of new varieties. Seems to be proceeding. As for rice cultivation, we will steadily promote production that meets demand, and promote the production of rice for new demand and highly profitable crops as conversion crops. In addition, in order to promote GAP efforts at the production area level, it seems that the production area will cooperate with related organizations such as agricultural cooperatives and support the creation of a system that allows the production area to implement and continue risk inspection activities. In livestock farming, in order to improve the productivity of dairy cows, we are promoting a cattle herd certification project and Reinforcement of instruction for improvement of cattle barn environment leading to long-lived continuous production. In addition, beef cattle productivity. In order to improve this, we are striving to secure a stable source of cattle and further improve fattening technology, and strengthen the production base of Wagyu beef by introducing excellent breeding Wagyu cattle and increasing the number of cattle using fertilized eggs.

In April 2023, eight elementary school students were presented with a letter of appreciation by the police for taking appropriate actions such as protecting a girl who was crying in a park in Nishi Ward, Niigata City, and asking passersby to report the incident. Eight third-year students from Akatsuka Elementary School in Nishi Ward, Niigata City received letters of appreciation. On the 26th, a letter of appreciation was presented to him by Chief Akira Kuwayama of Niigata Nishi Police Station. According to the police, the eight children were playing in a park in Nishi Ward, Niigata City on the 10th of this month when they spotted a four-year-old girl crying near the entrance and called out to her. Since the girl was wearing pajama-like clothes and bare legs, she thought she might be lost, so she went to a nearby police station, but there were no police officers there, so she asked a passing woman to call the police. I requested a report. At that time, she heard that the child met a daycare worker who had been contacted by her family and was looking for the girl, and that the girl was later safely returned to her family.

The 5JA scheduled to be merged spans Niigata City, Agano City, Gosen City, Tsubame City, Aga Town, and Yahiko Village, and the total number of union members is 6309 (as of 2020, total of regular union members and associate union members). The cultivated area of the fields is 41,502 hectares. The merger will make it the largest JA in the prefecture, and it seems that it will strengthen the management base and improve efficiency. In addition, the total number of JAs in the prefecture has decreased from 23 to 19 due to this merger. “JA Niigata Kagayaki”, which was born by the merger of 5JA in the South of Kaetsu, was launched on April 1, 2022, and a ceremony is being held at the head office in Nishikan Ward, Niigata City. In the Kurosaki area where green soybeans production is thriving (the town disappeared due to the merger with Niigata City on January 1, 2001), as of mid-May 2022, shipments of bright spring broccoli with soft stems peaked. Seems to be there. The name of broccoli, which will reach its peak in late May in the Kurosaki district of Nishi Ward, Niigata City, is “Pixel BROCCOLI (from Sakata Seed Co., Ltd. It seems to be suitable for cold regions and spring-summer sowing in Hokkaido from summer to autumn. In general summer sowing, it can be sown in mid-August, and it seems to be the best for high-quality broccoli to be shipped first as a production area. Be careful when sowing because anthocyan (a group of water-soluble pigments that show red, blue, purple, etc., which are found in fruits and flowers) can be seen. Dark green flower buds can be harvested from mid-April before the holidays. In open-field cultivation, it seems that late February and late May are the best time to harvest. If the number of leaves required for flower bud development is not yet differentiated and a low temperature is encountered, flower bud differentiation will occur at an early stage, but this plant will occur when nutritional growth is inhibited by low temperature, lack of fertilizer, moisture damage, etc.) Be careful because it is dangerous. Also, because it has good shelf life, it seems that there is little deterioration in quality after harvesting in the high temperature period. It seems that it can be sown up to. Especially because the flower buds are tight, high quality flower buds can be harvested even in October when the temperature is low in the latter half of the growth. It seems that it is necessary to select the sowing time and cultivation area. In order to contribute to the maintenance and development of domestic vegetable production areas, sponsored by the Japan Seedling Association, we will try out varieties that are on sale or in the process of growing and compare them by actual cultivation. And select excellent varieties: 50th All Japan Vegetable Variety Examination Committee First Prize Special Award, 54th All Japan Vegetable Variety Examination Committee First Prize Special Award)” . In the Kurosaki area, where green soybeans are actively produced, broccoli is cultivated in the same field in spring and autumn to prevent continuous cropping problems. This year, thanks to the rise in temperature and moderate rain in April, the result is good. In addition, Kurosaki’s broccoli seems to extend the period of keeping freshness by cooling to the core in a vacuum state for 10 minutes. By doing this work, it seems that shelving at retail stores and supermarkets can be extended for two to three days. Also, the speed of growth is fast, and the timing of harvest seems to be important. It seems that there are days when producers harvest 1000 pieces a day at the peak and start work at 1 am according to the shipment. JA Niigata Kagayaki has jurisdiction over the Shirane district (Minami Ward, Niigata City), Gosen District (Gosen City), Kameda / Yokokoshi District (Konan Ward, Niigata City), Aga District (Aga Town), and Nishi Niigata District (Nishi Ward, Niigata City). It consists of five districts, extending from the coast of the Sea of Japan overlooking Sado to the border of Fukushima prefecture. Centered on Niigata City, the first ordinance-designated city on the Sea of Japan side, it is blessed with a wide variety of environments, including coastal dunes, vast Echigo plains, and lush mountainous areas. At the time of 2014, 41% of rice and 59% of vegetables, fruits and flowers were produced in Niigata, but mainly vegetables and fruits. The Niigata Nishi district (Akatsuka district, Uchino district, Sakaiwa district), where the Nishi Farming Center is located, is located about 16 km west of the city center, with vast sand dunes and paddy rice-centered management. It is an area where agricultural management centered on horticultural items is carried out even in Niigata prefecture, which occupies most of the area. There are many full-time farmers in the farming system centered on watermelon and radish vegetables, but in recent years, the acreage has been declining due to the aging of farmers and the slump in agricultural product prices. Leaf tobacco, which used to be a key crop, has decreased significantly since 2012 due to the recruitment of abandoned farmers, and although items have been converted to sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes, the area used in the fields seems to be declining. Mainly, the processed radish used for pickling Takuan is also planted on about 222 hectares, and it seems that the cultivated area of green onions has increased for a while as a conversion from such heavy items. The number of green onion producers, acreage, and sales amount have remained unchanged, with 70 green onion producers planting about 40 hectares. In recent years, the cultivated area has been stable, and with the aging of processed radish producers, it can be said that green onions are one of the items that are expected to increase. Regarding cultivation, it seems that it will start with “spring green onions”, which are cultivated over the winter and harvested in the spring of the following year, and then “summer green onions” and “autumn winter green onions”. Autumn and winter green onions, which make the best use of the prefecture’s climate, have the largest planted area, but in recent years the prices have been stable, so we cultivated and managed them in the heat of the heat with the risk in mind. It seems that it is aiming to produce and ship summer onions in line with the high price of the monthly tray. Summer onions are sown in late January and planting begins in late March. I think that Niigata Prefecture has a lot of snow, but the field in the jurisdiction is within 1 km from the coast, and even if it snows, it rarely becomes root snow that does not melt until spring, and even in the prefecture there is little delay in planting due to snow, and it was blessed. It is famous as an area where green onions can be cultivated under the location conditions. In particular, autumn and winter green onions are sold under the brand name of “Yawahada; Harmony texture green onions” because they have a soft and moist luster due to the cool temperature and humidity suitable for growth. Long onion is relatively strong against dryness, but weak against moisture damage. In recent years, there have been heavy rains of guerrillas due to abnormal weather (climate is greatly deviated from the average state), but the sand dunes are well drained and the fields are not flooded, and even if high temperature drying continues, it is abundant. All fields are equipped with sprinkler irrigation facilities that use groundwater. I hear that the most important thing in production is the soil gathering to make the soft white part. Since only that part is finished in soft white, the producer uses the “soil gathering guide stick” created by the green onion subcommittee so that the producer can understand how much the soil is gathered, and thoroughly manages the cultivation so that the length of the soft white is uniform. Seems to be. In order to improve the quality of producers and promptly respond to complaints from retailers, the binding tape has the name of the producer, and it is said that the quality of the producers is improved and the sense of responsibility is raised. In addition, unannounced quality inspections are conducted once or twice a week to level the quality. It is brilliant that efforts are being made to maintain quality by downgrading items that do not meet the selection criteria according to the agreement of the subcommittee. The inspection itself is carried out by the producers themselves, and the system is in place to inspect the products of all producers throughout the season. At the strong request of the club members, a vacuum precooler was introduced in 2005 to maintain the quality of summer onions. It deals with 5 companies outside the prefecture and 4 companies in the prefecture market, and the shipment volume is 50% outside the prefecture and 50% inside the prefecture, and the outside of the prefecture is mainly in the Kanto region. At the site, a matching meeting is held at the same time as the sales meeting, and the market staff asks for opinions on the selection details and selection methods for other production areas, which are used as a reference. In addition, in order to refer to new initiatives, we visit advanced areas and visit markets outside the prefecture to confirm future sales strategies and selection of other production areas. In recent years, we have begun efforts to ship green onions that do not meet the standards as “green onions for processing” to processors, but this has led to a decrease in shipments of B products during the market crash and during the rainy season from around November, and A products. It seems that it also leads to the maintenance of the unit price of. Ikarashi Higashi 3 no Town, Nishi Ward, Niigata City: Suwa Shrine sits on a small hill on the west side of Shinkawa, which runs through the town of Uchino. The stone pillar on the way to the shrine says “Suwa Shrine,” and the forehead of the shrine says Suwa Shrine. The “Shrine statement book” says “Ikarashi Hamamura, Nishikambara District, Kawakami, unqualified company, Suwanoyashiro”. The deity is Takeminakata no Mikoto. It is a local god of some of the former Ikarashi Hama village, but its founding date is unknown. It is said that the Naka Ikarashi district (currently the Niigata University campus area) was severely damaged by sand and moved to Yamaikarashi (currently Ikarashi 3 Town) around 1789-1800. The approach is long, and there are two stone torii gates in addition to the vermilion one torii gate. The second torii has the inscription of the 5th year of Tenpo (1834). Both the hall of worship and the main hall are large, and there are plenty of detailed sculptures. There is an appendix in the “Detailed Book” that says “Notification of extension and renovation on October 28, 1908”. The main shrine is built independently behind the main shrine. To the right of the shrine is Shinmeisha (Amaterasu Omikami). Nishi Ward, Niigata City: From the excavation survey of the Otate site (near Kurotori and Otateryutsu 1-chome and 2-chome: In 1952, a pot-shaped pottery was found beside the shrine of Choritsu Hachimangu Shrine. This triggered the existence of the Otate site. It seems that each of the complex ruins from the Jomon period to the Middle Ages is showing prosperity. Most of the excavated pottery was from the southern part of the Tohoku region, and Jomon was applied, and the basic pattern was the same as that of the late Jomon pottery. It seems that it has come to be considered as a pottery of the previous term. The pottery excavated in the three surveys of 1952, 1957, and 1958 is designated as a cultural property of the city as “Otate pottery batch”. The circular burial mound with the butterbur stones of the early Kofun period is the only one confirmed by excavation in the Kanbara Plain, which makes us imagine the existence of a powerful person. In the Nara-Heian period, the remains of excavated pillar buildings and wells, which are thought to be large warehouses, and relics such as dice, tile towers, Wadokaichin, and ritual tools (human face ink writing pottery, wooden products) were discovered. , It is presumed to be a ruin with a governmental character, and it has been pointed out that it is related to the Matoba ruins 800 m east.) and the Rokujiyama site (Sowa), people from the end of the Jomon period to the Yayoi period lived on the sand dunes in Nishi Ward. He knows he has started. During the Kofun period, it seems that an old burial mound (round burial mound) with Fukiishi was built at the Otate site. In the Nara period, there were regional bases that had the function of a government office, such as fishing for salmon and managing supplies sent to the capital, at the Otate site and the nearby Matobaryutsu site (near Matobaryutsu 2-chome). It is said that it was created and the number of villages has increased. The Oyabu site (near Akatsuka) around Sagata is a site from the Jomon period, but many ceramics and coins imported from China that can be seen after the Heian and Kamakura periods have been excavated. In the early Edo period (17th century), the development of new rice fields in the Echigo Plain progressed, and in addition to the sand dune villages that were relatively few west of the Shinano River, villages were formed along the natural levee of the Nishikawa River. In 1820, a new river that drained water from Migata (Tagata, Ogata, Armored Lagoon) was completed and passed through. (Achievement of grade separation with Nishikawa by bottom gutter) In 1889, Niigata City enforced the city system as one of the first cities in Japan. Nishi Ward is located west of the Shinano River and Sekiya diversion channel in Niigata City, and is composed mainly of the Sakaiwa district, Kurosaki district, and Nishi district of the former Niigata city. The population of the ward is the second among all eight wards in the city, and the area is about 94 km2, which is the fifth among all eight wards in the city. In the ward, good residential areas are formed mainly along railway lines and highways, and there are agricultural land and rural settlements on the south side. In addition, there are many rivers such as the Shinano River, Nakanokuchi River, Nishikawa, and Shinkawa, lagoons such as Sagata and Mitaraigata, and watersides such as the Sea of Japan. At the same time, there are several universities as advanced academic research institutes, and it is said that community development where academics, culture, and industry interact is being promoted with the participation of residents of all ages. In terms of industry, it is a ward with active commercial activities, and the annual product sales amount is the second among all eight wards in the city. In the agricultural field, upland farming is popular, producing branded products known inside and outside the prefecture, such as Kurosaki tea beans, Niigata watermelon, and Akatsuka radish(October 26, 1978: The sand dunes in the direction of Uchino and Akatsuka have been known as radish producing areas since the Meiji era. In particular, the sand dunes centered on Sagata are suitable for the prefecture’s representative production areas, and as far as the eye can see, radish fields continue as far as the eye can see, and the cultivated area covers 130 ha. “Japanese white radish” for raw consumption is made in a field that is about 10% of the size. It is a late-maturing long cylinder with good shape and white and smooth characteristics.). In terms of transportation, the Hokuriku Expressway runs north-south on the east side of the ward, and the Niigata Nishi IC and Kurosaki Smart IC have been developed and are connected to the Ban-etsu Expressway and the Nihonkai Tohoku Expressway. In addition, National Highways 8, 116, and 402 pass through, and the railway has seven JR Echigo Line stations, and it seems that integration is progressing. Since Sagata became a Ramsar Convention wetland in March 1996, the Sagata Waterfowl and Wetlands Center(Akatsuka)will serve as a base facility for dissemination and enlightenment, research and monitoring of the conservation of waterflies and wetlands in May 1998. It is a facility opened in. In recent years, the momentum for conserving wetlands as a habitat for waterfowl is increasing all over the world. Under these circumstances, Sagata is recognized as an internationally important wetland as a habitat for waterfowl, and has become a Ramsar Convention wetland. In addition, although the city is a large city with a population of 800,000, we are very proud that such a rich and precious lagoon remains in the suburbs. In order to pass on this rich nature to future generations, we will strive to preserve the natural environment surrounding the lagoon, and promote the wise use of “Lagoon” while aiming for coexistence between nature and humans through rich contact with nature. It seems to go. Cultivation of prince melon began around 1963 in the prefecture, and various varieties have been cultivated now. It is said that melons in Niigata prefecture can be roughly divided into two types depending on the cultivation method. One is “Tunnel melon” cultivated in the field, and the other is “Greenhouse melon” cultivated in the greenhouse. Tunnel melons are cultivated on the ground as if they were in the field. Greenhouse melons can only be attached to one plant per plant by three-dimensional cultivation in which the vine is stretched vertically. Therefore, tunnel melons are sold at reasonable prices for home use, and house melons are sold as high-class fruits for use. In recent years, shipments of red meat melons have been increasing in tunnel melons. It seems that melons are artificially bred by humans, or honeybees are bred and settled, and the date of mating is recorded on a label. It depends on the variety and cropping type, but it is harvested in about 50 days after mating. Its good or bad is determined by its melting meat quality, sweetness, and aroma. In Nishi Ward, watermelon cultivation that makes the best use of the sand dunes is popular. I heard that Soleil melons are made in the house after the cultivation of watermelon is finished. It is characterized by its softness, stable sweetness, few seeds, and many places to eat. Since 2018, Niigata City has been constructing a Greenhouse housing complex by utilizing the city’s support project for large-scale horticulture and production. Last year, Niigata Prefecture also formulated the “Basic horticultural promotion strategy” with the goal of doubling the number of horticultural production areas with sales of 100 million yen or more from the current 51 production areas to 101 production areas, and strengthened support for large-scale horticultural production. Although it is a small ball, Himekansen watermelon is characterized by a high sugar content of 13 degrees or more, which is comparable to large ball watermelon, and fresh flesh full of crispness. Since there are few seeds, it is easy to eat, and because the skin is thin, there is almost no place to throw it away. The pericarp is dark green, and the thick and clear stripes are impressive. Since the outer skin is hard, it has excellent transportability, and it has an excellent shelf life and is popular as an excellent agricultural product that is highly evaluated by the people concerned. Himekansen Watermelon is a small ball watermelon sold by Marutane Co., Ltd. (Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture). It tends to have stable quality, sugar content, and crispness. Since there are relatively few seeds, it is easy to eat even for young children. Also, a small ball watermelon with a long shelf life The pericarp is about 3 mm, but it is hard and firm, so it seems that there are few cracks during cultivation. Also, it seems that fruit cracking during transportation is unlikely to occur. The epidermis is dark green and the thick stripes are clear. The flesh has a bright red color and there are few seeds. It consumes a lot because it can be eaten up to the skin.

In the middle of June 2022, shipments of the main variety “Himekansen watermelons” reached its peak in Nishi Ward, Niigata City, one of the leading production areas of Small ball watermelons in Niigata Prefecture. It was warm in early spring this season, and there was a clear temperature difference between day and night.

The Akatsuka district in Nishi Ward, Niigata City, where watermelons are grown, is located along the Sea of Japan and is famous for being part of the Niigata Sand Dunes. The loose, well-drained soil seems to be well-suited for growing this excellent desert-indigenous crop. Not only does it grow vigorously, but it also occurs in watermelons grafted onto Phomopsis sclerotioides (generally white-flowered gourd). The tip of the vine wilts during the day and recovers in cloudy and rainy weather.The wilting spreads over the entire leaf before long, and it seems to tend to wither gradually. A part of the fine root turns brown and rots at first, but eventually it will rot. It seems that the taproot and branch roots are partially browned, fine roots fall off, and the amount of roots decreases. As the symptoms progress, the entire root becomes brown to blackish brown, and black striped lesions (pseudosclerotia) on the surface of the roots. I hear that if the fruit withers just before harvest, the fruits will not be fruitful and the sugar content will not rise, making it impossible to ship.

According to Niigata City, sand dune watermelon has a long history of cultivation, and it seems that it began with pillow-shaped watermelons planted in the mid-Meiji period. Around 1963, the planted area began to increase, and thanks to the dramatic progress in cultivation technology and the tireless efforts of producers, it seems that today it has been established as a production area that can be shipped early.

Currently, there are few papers on cislycopene, so it is important to build evidence with human intervention trials: In 2013, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries started the “Functional Agricultural, Forestry and Fishery Products / Food Project” to develop excellent agricultural products with functionality that is useful for preventing lifestyle-related diseases and to build a system that can stably supply them to those who need them. Agence nationale de sécurité sanitaire de l’alimentation, de l’environnement et du travail (Food, Environment and Workplace Risk Assessment, AFSSA and AFSSET merged in 2010 to support the agencies responsible for health and safety issues under the Department of Health, Agriculture, Environment, Labor and Consumer Affairs) (Starting from July 1st): The cis isomer of lycopene is more bioavailable than the trans isomer.

The Shimotsuma District Traffic Measures Liaison Council (Shimotsuma City/Yachiyo Town) has announced that child seats are mandatory for children under the age of 6 (we recommend using them until the child reaches a height of 140cm). Child restraints are required until the child is physically fit to use a seatbelt.If the child is not physically fit enough to use a seatbelt, there is a risk of injury from the seatbelt. We are offering a 3,000 japanese yen reward to those who wish to reuse sheets that are no longer used. Target audience: People residing in Shimotsuma City and Yachiyo Town. Eligibility for incentives: After registering the seat owned by the eligible person, it is recognized that the seat has been transferred to the transferee. Amount of incentive: 3,000 japanese yen per project. However, once the budget (1 million yen donated by the Shimotsuma Rotary Club) ends, the granting of the incentives will end.


【Product name】

Orange quince cabbage

【Type】
Brassica rapa L. var. pekinensis Rupr.
【Producing area】
Minokuchi, Yachiyo Town, Yuki District, Ibaraki Prefecture (JA Group Ibaraki, JA Zen-Noh Ibaraki)
【Origin of name】
The inner leaves are orange, so that the name has “orange” in it. This is because not only the center but also the outer leaves are dark yellow to orange, and the core is also yellowish.
【Major features】

In fiscal 2021, the national food self-sufficiency rate was less than 40% on a calorie basis, but in Yachiyo Town it seems to be over 100%. Many people are aware of the splendor of agriculture in the town, and activities such as SGDs(持続可能な開発目標)are also active throughout the country.
The Yachiyo District Management Study Group is a study group consisting of 18 members with the aim of trying more advanced initiatives within the JA Joso Hikari Yachiyo District Horticulture Club. The functional variety “Orange Quinn Chinese Cabbage”, which has been shipped since 2017, about five years ago, has extremely high quality and seems to be highly evaluated by the market. As you probably know well, the JA Joso Hikari Yachiyo area is an outdoor vegetable production area centered on Chinese cabbage, lettuce, and melons. Chinese cabbage, in particular, boasts one of the largest shipments in Japan, with 2 million cases per year. The management study group, which is the producer of these items, seems to have been organized in 2011. Every year, the study group conducts training in advanced areas to increase knowledge, and as a challenge to improve management, it seems that new items have been examined and cultivation has begun. This excellent agricultural product cultivated by the research group contains cis-lycopene, which can be expected to have an antioxidant effect, and carotene, which can be expected to have an immunity effect. In addition, it seems that it is easy to cause leaf tips to die, and that the cultivation characteristics are different from Chinese cabbage, which is usually cultivated, so it was known that the quality is likely to vary. Therefore, in addition to conducting soil diagnosis at the production area and designing fertilization including soil nitrogen, it seems that they have carefully held seminars and field trips to understand the characteristics of the variety. As a result of these efforts, the quality of the research society is Orange Quinn Chinese Cabbage has been highly evaluated by the market, and it seems that it is selling more favorably than the normal white varieties. Furthermore, the research group will continue to improve the technology and will continue to search for new shining items that will please consumers. Yachiyo Town, Yuki District, located in the southwestern part of Ibaraki Prefecture, is the prefecture’s largest producer of Chinese cabbage and is characterized by flat fields that stretch on forever. It seems that Chinese cabbage has been cultivated in this area since the Taisho period. In the Showa era, the start of shipping to Tokyo following the establishment of a gardening association and the introduction of new cultivation techniques to save labor seem to have triggered the scale expansion. After that, in 1966, it became a designated production area, and planned shipments and subsidies for pest control equipment began to be implemented. Orange Quinn Chinese cabbage, which is also synonymous with orange Chinese cabbage, is a breed that was created by crossing Chinese cabbage and European turnip. It is a Naka-Wase cultivar characterized by a bright orange color on the inner part, and it seems to be harvested from autumn within the year in warmer regions, and in autumn in cooler regions. This excellent agricultural product is a registered trademark of Takii Seed Co., Ltd., and was launched in 1990. It is an epoch-making Chinese cabbage that was created through the fusion of biotechnology and breeding technology at the time. The outer leaves are green like regular Chinese cabbage, but the inner leaves are orange. The impression is that it has a strong sweetness and a good crispness, and there is little peculiar grassy smell. The orange core leaves seem to contain cis-lycopene, which is not contained in common Chinese cabbage. C40H56 (5,9-cis-lycopene) seems to have the property of being more easily absorbed into the body than normal lycopene. In addition, a wide range of Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin (Ago, Kasama City, Ibaraki Prefecture) is a soil and water-borne disease caused by a type of filamentous fungus. In addition to Chinese cabbage, it occurs in cruciferous plants such as cabbage and broccoli. When infected with this disease, the growth of stems and leaves declines, and the leaves and stems wither and turn pale yellow. When plants are pulled out, bumps appear on the roots. The size of the bumps varies from small to large, ranging from about 1 cm in diameter, to almost all of the roots. , It occurs frequently in fields where cruciferous vegetables are continuously cultivated. This pathogen grows at 9-30°C, but it seems to be most likely to be affected at around 18-25°C. Avoid continuous cropping of cruciferous vegetables and gramineous plants. Crops and crop rotation Correction of acid soil with lime and drainage measures Introduction of resistant varieties In the nursery and fields planned for planting, soil disinfection Sampling and disposing of diseased strains and formation of bumps It seems that it is good not to leave the roots in the field.) In addition, cislycopene is a pigment component contained in orange-yellow tomatoes, and can be expected to have the same effect as C40H56 contained in red tomatoes. Lycopene intake induces colonic regulatory T cells in mice and suppresses food allergy symptoms (Lycopene intake induces colonic regulatory T cells in mice and suppresses food allergy symptoms), Jumonji Gakuen Women’s University A research group led by Chihiro Ushiroda, Assistant Professor, Department of Food Development, Tomohisa Takagi, Associate Professor, Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine Graduate School of Medicine, Associate Professor, Tomohisa Takagi, and Yuji Naito, Professor, Department of Bioimmunonutrition, Allergy model mouse A research paper on this topic was published in the scientific journal “Pediatric Allergy and Immunology” on November 16, 2021). I have a report. The major carotenoids of Chinese cabbage are β-carotene and lutein, while the major carotenoids of orange Chinese cabbage are prolycopene, β-carotene and phytoene. The amount of total carotenoids and polyphenols is higher than that of normal Chinese cabbage, and it seems to have a strong antioxidant capacity. Isomer of Lycopene-Prolycopene. Lycopene is known to be the major carotenoid in tomatoes and has a strong antioxidant capacity. Two between intramolecular C. It is also called all-trans-lycopene because all the double bonds are trans-type. As an isomer of lycopene, there is pro-lycopene, which has a cis-type double bond in the molecule and is also called “cis-lycopene.” It has been reported that when both are ingested as food, cis-lycopene has a higher absorption rate. Anticipating even greater health benefits. The pigment composition of orange Chinese cabbage and Antioxidant capacity: Chinese cabbage in general contains carotenoid pigments such as beta-carotene and lutein found in green vegetables. On the other hand, orange Chinese cabbage contains the highest amount of prolycopene. To date, there have been no reports of Chinese cabbage containing prolycopene. In plant carotenoid synthesis, pro-lycopene (partially cis-type) is converted to lycopene (all-trans-type) by enzymes, and β-carotene is further synthesized. However, it is presumed that trans-lycopene is not synthesized in the inner layer of orange Chinese cabbage because the conversion enzyme does not function. Orange Chinese cabbage and Chinese cabbage superoxide active. As a result of comparing the oxygen scavenging ability (SOD-like activity), orange Chinese cabbage is stronger. Plant pigments add color to food and are expected to have various health functions. In the future, it seems necessary to clarify the specific in vivo functions of foods containing prolycopene. In Yachiyo Town, Okoku Kameda (1807-1881: from Shimousa Okada County (now Ibaraki Prefecture), a scholar of Chinese classics who was active at the end of the Edo period. Ryorai Kameda (1778-1835: Born in Edo. Eldest son of Hosai. His name was Nagazusa. Confucian scholar of eclectic studies who served as a Confucian vassal of the Shimousa-Sekiyado clan. He is also known as a calligrapher. He entered the school and studied Chinese studies and poetry, married Nui, Ryorai’s adopted daughter, inherited the master’s family, and inherited the family studies. Became a Confucian vassal of the Shimousa-Sekiyado domain (now Chiba prefecture) and taught at the domain school Kyorinkan. After the Meiji Restoration, Tokyo. He opened a private school in Fukagawa, and was engaged in giving lectures.), so there is a monument related to Okoku, as well as Sazan Nakajima, Hanko Akamatsu, Sekiseiken, Shoyo Yokoshima, and Kinsai Suzuki. Excellent Chinese scholars left stone monuments. It seems that the contents are wide-ranging, such as educators, religious people, terakoya, patriots at the end of the Tokugawa shogunate, devastated land restoration service, tea industry service, and war dead. In addition, Mr. Kitano, who devotes himself to cultivation every day at Minokuchi introduced this time, also contributes to local agriculture. We also focus on educating young people who will succeed us. “Yachiyo Town, Yuki District”, Jomon pottery, stone tools, and dwelling traces have been found in archaeological sites such as Kuriyama, Ozaki, and Niedo. During the Nara Period, the Kinugawa River, which had been winding around the west side of the Kawanishi District, was renovated to form the current Kinugawa River. In the Heian Period, iron making was carried out at Ozaki Maeyama, farm tools and weapons were made, and a samurai corps was formed. It was around this time that the Taira no Masakado turmoil occurred, and even in Yachiyo Town, Kuriyama, Ashigaya, Hiratsuka, etc. are treated as battlefields. At the end of the Warring States period, the eastern half of the town, including Sugenoya, Waka, and Ozaki, was under the control of Mr. Tagaya, and from the north to the west was under the control of Mr. Yuki. In the Edo Period, due to the change of lords, the Yachiyo area came to have a complicated control of Mibu territory, Koga territory, imperial fief, Hatamoto domain and so on. In the Kyoho period(1716-1736)in the middle of the Edo Period, Iinuma and Yamakawa Swamp will be reclaimed and Yoshida irrigation will be completed. After the abolition of the feudal clan after the Meiji Restoration, the municipality system was enforced in 1889, and the old villages of Anjo, Shimoyuki, Nakayuki, Nishitoyoda, and Kawanishi were born, establishing the foundation of the autonomy system. After that, with the aim of expanding the transportation economic zone and strengthening local administration and finance with the rapid growth after the war, in 1955, the former five villages and Sanwa village Narita merged to form Yachiyo village. With the enforcement of the town system in 1972, it became Yachiyo Town. It is located in the center of the Kanto Plain, southwest of Ibaraki Prefecture, about 60 km to the capital Tokyo, about 70 km to the capital city of Mito, and about 20 km to Tsukuba, a city where science and technology are concentrated. It is adjacent to Shimotsuma City across the Kinugawa River in the east, Koga City in the west, Yuki City in the north, Joso City and Bando City in the south, and National Highway No. 125 runs east to west in the center of the town. The terrain is 7.7 km east-west, 12.4 km north-south, and the total area is 58.99 km2. The terrain is generally flat, with paddy fields open in the eastern part and upland fields in the western part, with the mountain river flowing through the central part of the town as the boundary, and a small amount of flatland forest remains. Wide area above sea level (eastern end) 139 ° 51′ (West end) 139 ° 57′(South end) 36 ° 07′ (North end) 36 ° 14’58.99 km2 (East and West) 7.7 km (North and South) 12.4 km (Maximum) 29.8 m (Minimum) 18.7 m. Regarding the weather, the average annual temperature is around 14 ℃, and the annual rainfall is around 1,250 mm. In winter, the northwest monsoon blows, but the amount of snowfall is extremely small and the climate is warm. Taking advantage of the flat and fertile land, warm climate, and location conditions near the capital, agriculture is regarded as the core industry, and mainly vegetables, rice cultivation, fruit trees, livestock, and other suburban agriculture are being developed, and the main areas of the metropolitan area. Famous as a food production base. In addition, it is one of the leading horticultural production areas in the prefecture, and among them, Chinese cabbage boasts the largest production volume in Japan, and net-based melons are also cultivated, and pears have been designated as a brand production area(1992年; Akuto Pear)in the prefecture. The town boasts one of the largest melon production in the country, and when the time comes, the scent of sweet melon overflows throughout the town. In recent years, in addition to outdoor cultivation, we have also adopted house cultivation to make sweet and delicious melons. From May to June, many varieties such as Prince, Kinsho, Homerun, Takami, and Quincy are cultivated as spring melons. Among them, Takami Melon, which is the most produced in the town, is a large ball, juicy and has a high sugar content, has a long-lasting meat quality, and is often used as a souvenir and is appreciated. From September to October, Earl’s melon is cultivated as an autumn-suppressing melon. Earl’s melon is cultivated with strict control of temperature, humidity, water, etc., and only one fruit is produced per plant, giving it a rare and luxurious texture with a smooth texture. As the name Akuto Pear suggests, it grew up in the sober land of the Kinugawa River, bathed in the pure sunlight. Kosui Pear is cultivated in August, Hosui Pear in September, Akizuki Pear in October, and Niitaka Pear. Yachiyo Chinese cabbage is a hot pot dish that is often eaten in the cold season, and is a supporting role of the hot pot. The town boasts the highest production in Japan, producing autumn-winter Chinese cabbage and spring Chinese cabbage, and harvesting and shipping peaks from late October to mid-June. Autumn-winter Chinese cabbage has a softer fiber when exposed to frost, and the sugar content of the leaves increases, so the sweetness also increases. Spring Chinese cabbage is characterized by its freshness and fluffiness. Vitamin C is not lost even when salted, and good intestinal bacteria such as lactic acid bacteria are produced, so there are great expectations for an intestinal regulation effect. In addition to melons, pears and Chinese cabbage, the town produces a lot of delicious vegetables throughout the four seasons. In addition, because it is flat and has good water access, rice cultivation is also popular, and the far-reaching golden countryside occupies about 40% of the total crop harvest area. Chinese cabbage pickled in kimchi, which uses the highest production of Chinese cabbage in Japan, countryside miso, which uses locally produced soybeans, and rich, handmade natural brewed soy sauce that takes advantage of the blessed climate and water quality, have gained popularity for consumption. In addition, there are many flavors of hometown such as handmade dried natto and chewy udon, which gives a simple taste. 県指定建造物 : 佛性寺観音堂 / 仁王門(附観音堂宮殿1基 / 棟札1枚), 2棟, 栗山, 佛性寺, 平29.12.25, 県指定彫刻 : 木心乾漆如来形坐像(付乾漆断片64片), 1躯, 栗山, 仏性寺, 昭57.3.4, 県指定彫刻 : 木造十一面観音立像, 1躯, 大字八町, 新長谷寺. 八千代町教育委員会, 株式会社地域文化財コンサルタント 2009 “菱毛道西遺跡(大字平塚)” 八千代町埋蔵文化財調査報告書13 : 株式会社エフピコ工場建設に伴う遺跡の発掘調査, 工場建設, 集落, 古墳時代, 竪穴住居跡, 土師器: 坏, 甕他, 須恵器: 坏, 甕他, 石製品: 紡錘車他, 土製品: 土玉, 土錘他, 集落, 平安時代, 竪穴住居跡, 土師器: 坏, 甕他, 須恵器: 坏, 甕他, 灰釉陶器: 高台坏埦, 鉄製品: 釘他, 瓦片, 羽口. The “Yachiyo Fall Festival” (sponsored by the Yachiyo Town Festival Planning and Management Committee) was held on November 12th and 13th, 2022 at the Sugenoya Town General Gymnasium in the same town, attracting many families and children. At the outdoor stage on the first day, the comedian and musician Hanawa performed a new song with lyrics that express the characteristics of the town, and it seemed to have a lively atmosphere. The festival will be held for the first time in three years due to the effects of the corona crisis. In addition to performing arts presentations, calligraphy, photographs, picture letters, bonsai, and other works, it seems that the kitchen car introduced by the town sold chankonabe dishes supervised by the Grand Sumo wrestler Nishonoseki stable.



It does not have the grassy smell peculiar to Chinese cabbage, and it has a pleasant crisp texture. The core leaves of oranges have a sweet taste and are said to be suitable for use in salads, as well as in pickles and stews. In addition, it is a mid-to-early maturing species with a bright orange inside color, and it is said to be ideal for autumn to year-round in intermediate and warm areas, and autumn in cool areas. Cis-lycopene-containing orange core leaves seem to contain cis-lycopene, which is not contained in common Chinese cabbage. Normal lycopene (a red natural pigment that has a strong antioxidant effect and prevents the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, so it is expected to be effective in improving blood flow and preventing lifestyle-related diseases) It seems to have the property of being easily absorbed by. As for the key point of cultivation, it seems desirable to use a slightly larger amount of fertilizer than the general medium-early maturing variety, promote growth from the early stage with the main basal fertilizer, and ensure that additional fertilizer is applied to maintain the fertilizing effect until the end.

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

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

【Major features】

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



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



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



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



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