Japan's earliest shipment of cherries for the first auction Tendo Yamagata January 4 15:28
On the 4th in Yamagata Prefecture, where cherry production is thriving, the fastest shipping in Japan for the first auction of the New Year was held.
Cherry in Yamagata Prefecture, which boasts the highest production volume in the country, peaks in June every year, but Kazuo Hanawa, a farmer in Tendo City, shifted the cultivation time in an agricultural house so that they could compete for the first time in the new year. I'm raising
On the 4th, picking was carried out early in the morning with the participation of local farmers and others, and the fine varieties of "Sato Nishiki" were carefully packed with chopsticks in the boxes of the cut while checking the color and size of the fruits.
This means that the temperature was difficult to control due to the effects of the warm winter, and the fruits did not grow well, so the harvest was about 40 kg, less than one-third of the usual year, but the color and taste were good and the size was enough about it.
According to JA Nonoyamagata, the shipment of this cherry is the earliest in the nation, and it is expected to be the first to compete in 12 markets nationwide, including Tokyo, Osaka, and local Tendo City, on the 5th. Last year, the highest was 500. It means that the value of 350,000 yen has been added.
Farmer Wreath said, "I grew up struggling, so I'm looking forward to having it at the beginning of the new year."
