An appraisal meeting was held in Hokuei-cho, Tottori Prefecture to check the performance of the pear ``Shinkansen'', which is characterized by its strong sweetness.
At the appraisal meeting held at the Tottori Prefectural Horticultural Experiment Station in Hokuei Town, 160 balls of "Shinkansen", which is characterized by a strong sweetness developed by the prefecture, were brought from production areas in the prefecture.
As a result of measuring the size and sugar content with a special machine by JA staff and others, it was confirmed that this year's size and sugar content exceeded the average for the past 10 years.
According to JA, although the rainy season ended early this year, the growth was good because there was moderate rain after that.
Mr. Futoshi Otani (58), a pear farmer, said, "The crossbreeding in early spring went well, and the pears became fat. I want everyone to eat a lot of delicious pears."
627 tons of "Shinkansen" from Tottori Prefecture will be shipped to Chugoku and Shikoku and Kansai this year, which is more than last year. I expect
