A peach that Son Goku also ate? Gifu Takayama August 19th, 4:04
The harvest of flat-shaped peaches, which is said to have been eaten by Son Goku, the main character of the popular "Seiyuuki" in Japan, began in Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture.
This peach is a kind of "Kinmo peach" that originated in China and is characterized by a flat shape with a depressed center.
It is said that Son Goku ate the longevity of youth in the Saiyuki.
Yoshitaka Higuchi's orchard in Takayama City started harvesting "kanmomo" from the 18th, and Higuchi and his wife Hiromi picked ripe fruits and carefully harvested them.
This year, I was worried about the effect of heavy rain last month, but it is said that 20 trees have matured at the end of the rainy season and are in the process of harvesting.
Mr. Higuchi said, "It has become a sweet and slightly sour tasty peach. It is said that it will lead to a long and long life, and I want you to eat it as an amulet so that you will not lose to corona."
Harvesting of "Kumomo" continues until mid-month next month, and it will be sold in advance at the morning market in Takayama City for 6 to 8 pieces per box for about 4000 yen.
