【名前の由来】

Initially, it was called “Dateka Hakuto”. This is because the Date Fruit Agricultural Cooperative (Sekiue, Koori Town, Date District, Fukushima Prefecture) handled this peach, and the agricultural cooperative was abbreviated as “Dateka”. After that, it took its name from the birthplace of Date City and was renamed to the current name Date Hakuto Peaches.

Producers by protecting the names (geographical indications) of products that have acquired high quality and reputation as intellectual property due to the production methods cultivated over many years in the region and the characteristics of the production areas such as climate and soil. A system undertaken by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries for the purpose of promoting profits and securing the trust of consumers. Higashine Cherry: On April 21, 2017, the “Registration of Geographical Indications and Registration Certificate Awarding Ceremony” was held at the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and related parties including the chairman and vice chairman of the Fruit Tree Kingdom Higashine 6th Industrialization Promotion Council. Attended and received a registration certificate from Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Isozaki. In the city, the “Fruit Tree Kingdom Higashine Sixth Industrialization Promotion Council”, which is organized by people involved in agriculture and commerce and industry in the city, educational institutions such as local universities, and the government, applied to the government in October 2016. Was done. After the announcement in December (until March 28, the following day) and the Academic Experience Committee on April 12, registration will be decided on the 21st. The target varieties are “Sato Nishiki cherry” and “Beni Shuho cherry”. Among them, “Sato Nishiki cherry” is said to be the best variety in terms of both appearance and taste, and because of its excellent balance of refreshing sweetness and moderate acidity, it is highly evaluated because it is in high demand as a representative taste of early summer. It has gained. Sato Nishiki originated in Higashine City and was named in 1928 and made its debut in the world. Since then, the efforts of our predecessors and study have promoted the establishment of cultivation techniques, and it seems that they have reached the present day. Furthermore, Sato Nishiki’s cultivation technology has greatly contributed to improving the quality and production of all varieties of cherries, including the later developed Beni Shuho, and Higashine City boasts the highest production of cherries in Japan. It is generally said that the temperature difference between day and night has a positive effect on the growth of fruit trees and brings out the sweetness of the fruits. In the production area of “Higashine cherries”, the maximum temperature in June, which is the ripening period of fruits, was 26.2 ℃, the minimum temperature was 14.0 ℃ (2015), and the daily range reached about 12 ℃. Although June is the rainy season, the production area has relatively low rainfall and long daylight hours, which seems to have a positive effect on the taste. The soil is a well-drained gravel-brown lowland formed by rivers in the region, including the Midare River alluvial fan in the Ou Mountains. This is suitable for cherry cultivation, which prefers drainage and breathability, and it seems that low soil moisture leads to a strong sweetness of the fruit. The Fruit Tree Kingdom Higashine 6th Industrialization Promotion Council finely standardizes the state of cherries (colored area) in order to deliver high quality cherries to consumers, and “superiority” “excellent” “good” It is ranked in. Of these, the ones shipped as Higashine cherries are of the highest standard, “秀” rank. Located in the Murayama Basin in the central part of Yamagata Prefecture, it is a rural city with abundant nature with hot springs adjacent to Sendai City in the east and Yamagata City and Tendo City in the south. In addition, National Highways 13, 48, and 287 pass through, and Yamagata Shinkansen Sakurambo-Higashine Station and Yamagata Airport are located at key points of transportation within the prefecture, and it is also an industrial city where advanced technology industries are concentrated. The area of the city is 206.94 km2, which is the ninth largest among the 13 cities in the prefecture. The city system will come into effect on November 3, 1958. A long time ago, there was a large lake called “Moga Umi” in the middle of the Murayama Basin, and the earliest cultivated place at the foot of the Ou Mountains to the east of this lake was called Higashine, and it is said that this place was named. In addition, Taira no Nagayoshi (Nagayoshi ODAJIMA), who built Higashine Castle, said “Higashine Border” on the Bonsho of Fukou-ji Temple（Owner (name of the implementing organization): Overview of Yakushi-ji Temple, the bell of the former Fukouji Temple has a height of 109 cm, a caliber of 75.9 cm, and a thickness of the rim of 5.2 cm. It is the old bell of 2. The milky protrusions are arranged in 5 rows and 5 steps on all sides between the milks, the arabesque pattern is engraved between the grasses, and the inscription seems to be engraved between the ponds. The bell retains the characteristics of the Kamakura period and is excellent. The applicant, Nagayoshi, is said to be a military commander in the Southern Court at the head of Odashima manor. In the first year of 1741, Fukouji Temple changed its name to Ryukoji Temple, so this bell is also called “Ryuko-ji bell”.）donated in 1356, and it is said that it remains as the first gold stone inscription. The city has a long history, and many ancient Jomon period ruins have been discovered. The name of Higashine can be seen for the first time in the record in the Takauji ASHIKAGA document in 1352, which states that “Dewa no Kuni Odashimaso Higashine Magogoro Ruins” was donated to Kamakura Houkaiji Temple（Tendai Sect: Kinryuyama Shamanin Entonhokaiji Temple-In order to mourn the spirit of the Hojo clan after the fall of 1333, it was erected by Takauji Ashikaga, who was ordered by Emperor Go-Daigo, in this area, which was called the Komachi residence at that time and is the site of the Hojo clan’s successive authority. The principal image is Kamakura 24 guardian diety of children, the first child-rearing sutra reading Enmei guardian diety of children, and is the only temple in the 33 Kannon sacred sites in Kamakura that enshrines Cundi Kannon, and also Kamakura-Enoshima Seven Lucky Gods. Enshrines Bishamonten.）. It can be seen that this area was called Higashine for more than 600 years. During the Heian period, the lowlands in the northwestern part of Higashine were cultivated and the Jori paddy fields were opened. Murayama District was newly established in this region, and the county office was set up in Koriyama in the city, becoming a political center. Shortly thereafter, the oldest recorded Odazima manor was established in the Tohoku region, and it is said that it came from Kamakura during the Nanbokucho period. The lord of a manor Nagayoshi ruled this land and became a military commander in the Southern Court. It is said that the largest Zelkova serrata in Japan in the Higashine Elementary School playground was already towering as a large tree that just covered the sky when Nagayoshi built the main castle. Also, on the banks of the nearby Ryukoteranuma, the second oldest temple bell in the prefecture donated by Nagayoshi in 1356 is hung on the bell tower. During the Warring States period, Mr. Sakamoto and then Mr. Satomi ruled, and Mr. Satomi (Mr. Higashine) worked hard to maintain the vast Higashine Castle and laid the foundation for the town of Higashine. However, in 1622, Mr. Higashine was also entrusted to the Awa Tokushima domain due to the reform of the Mogami clan. Since then, the lord of the Yamagata domain has often changed. Around this time, Higashine developed into a land with an advanced atmosphere, with the Akita Expressway being developed and the culture of Edo directly entering by Sankinkotai, and the production of cash crops such as safflower and tobacco was active. In addition, it is located in the largest Midare River alluvial fan in the prefecture, and it is relatively new that the central part was developed due to poor water use, and it was not until the modern era that it was reborn as a splendid fruit tree area as it is now. With the enforcement of the town and village system in 1899, six villages, Higashine Village, Togo Village, Takasaki Village, Otomi Village, Odashima Village, and Nagatoro Village, were established, and in 1906 Higashine Village became Higashine Town. Then, in 1954, these towns and villages merged to form Higashine Town. Higashine City has developed as a political and economic center and a transportation hub since ancient times. Currently, it is one of the leading fruit tree producing areas in Yamagata Prefecture such as cherries and apples, and high-tech industries are concentrated in the Omori Industrial Park, and it continues to develop as the location of the empty gateway Yamagata Airport. Furthermore, it is expected to continue to grow dramatically as a base city for high-speed transportation networks, such as the formation of a new city center through land readjustment, the opening of Sakuranbo-Higashine Station due to the extension of the Yamagata Shinkansen, and the opening of the Tohoku-Chuo Expressway. Alliance on July 6, 1991: In 1603, Ieyasu Tokugawa opened the shogunate in Edo and founded Nihonbashi and Kyobashi by reclaiming most of the sea, so the original form of the current Chuo Ward was created. Located in the center of the 23 wards of Tokyo, with Nihonbashi, Yaesu, Tsukiji, Tsukishima, Ginza, etc., large office districts line up, and as the name implies, it is the center of Tokyo in all aspects such as culture and economy. It has played an advanced role. The city donated the cherry tree, which boasts the largest production in Japan, which sprouted a relationship of exchange and concluded a friendship city tie-up. Since then, the circle of exchange has been expanded in many situations such as event exchange and staff exchange. 国指定重要美術品: 普光寺の鐘, 昭和16年4月9日, It is also a cultural property designated by Higashine City and Yamagata Prefecture. 県指定文化財: 神輿, 昭和27年4月1日, August 1, 1955 Higashine Wakamiya Hachiman Shrine, Higashine City.

During the 2021 cherry season（Yamagata Prefecture’s special products were stolen just before shipping. In recent years, there were at most 3 cases, but this year there are 7 cases, and the total damage amounted to about 1.5 million yen, which is the highest in the past 10 years according to the JA Yamagata Central Association. Damage caused by low harvest of cherries due to unseasonable weather this year. I heard from my relatives that the prefectural police have launched an investigation and that local governments and JAs are conducting patrol activities.）, the price was rising due to the expected poor harvest since 1996, and especially the gift box was in a state of competition. Global warming was one of the causes that is said to be behind this. However, I heard that experiments have begun at production sites to see that cultivation will become difficult in the future. According to the prefecture, this year’s harvest is expected to be about 9,500 tons, 68% of the average year. If it falls below 10,000 tons, it will be the worst crop since 1996 (9260 tons). Also, the price is rising. According to the Agriculture and Livestock Industries Corporation, the average unit price of cherries in Yamagata Prefecture from June 1st to 22nd this year is 2741 yen per kg. According to the prefecture, the unit price was about 1.3 times the unit price from June to late July last year, the highest in the last 10 years. Due to the reduced yield, some farmers may have abandoned shipments to new customers due to insufficient shipments to their existing customers. One of the reasons for the poor harvest was the freezing and death of the pistil during the frost from mid-April to late April. After all, it seems that the effects of global warming have been pointed out in the background. In general, the temperature rise in spring is remarkable in global warming, and while the temperature in early spring is high, the growth progresses and the resistance to cold is weakened, but in recent years, the temperature fluctuation tends to be severe, and there is a risk of frost damage (frost damage). Sexuality increases. According to the prefecture, the temperature in early spring was 3 to 5 degrees higher than normal this year, and the growth progressed. It was about 15 years ago that I realized the change in temperature. Vinyl was put on the tree to avoid damaging the fruit due to rain, but the temperature was too high and the heat was trapped, and the fruit began to soften and lose its tension. It is said that the frequency of high temperature damage and sunburn, which makes the fruit color worse, has increased. Yamagata Prefecture occupies about 70% of the nation’s share of cherry production. According to the Yamagata Local Meteorological Observatory, the average annual temperature is on the rise, rising 1.2 degrees per 100 years. According to the prefecture, it is well known that although it is not frequent, it is often reported that the high temperature continues in early summer, and the color of the fruit deteriorates and the quality deteriorates due to dehydration. In 2015 (August 2015, Higashine cherries were disseminated domestically and internationally), the prefecture created a vision for global warming countermeasures and is studying countermeasures such as cultivation of new crops. While protecting the cherry brand by developing varieties that can withstand high temperatures, it seems that they are also conducting experiments on the adaptability of new varieties such as Citrus Sudachi Hort. ex Mitsutaro Sirai. “Date Hakuto Peach” : Masamitsu Kanno of Hashirada Hinatayama, Hobara Town, Date City, Fukushima Prefecture raises accidental seedlings of “Hakuho”. The tree nature is medium. The appearance of the tree is open. It tends to be harvested and shipped from early September to late September. The fruit weight is 3 large, the fruit shape is round, the skin is unbagged and the entire surface is colored deep red, and the coloring is good as a late-maturing species. The meat quality is rather hard and slightly coarse. It is juicy, has a medium sweetness, has little acidity, and has an excellent taste, and is of good quality for peaches at this time. There are no cracks, but there are some pre-harvest fruit drops. It is abundant with a lot of pollen. When ripened, it has a melting texture. “Date City”, It is said that people began to live in the city during the Paleolithic period. In the Nara and Heian Period, a station house will be set up on the Tosan road（Starting from Seta station in Oumi province, passing through Mino, Shinano, Kouzuke, Shimousa, Michinoku province: (Reference is made to the Engishiki (an ancient book of codes and procedures on national rites and prayers.））and a county house will be placed. 1189 (Bunji 5) at the end of the Heian period; Mr. Nakamura Hitachi Nyudo Nensai（The first Soke, Tomomune Date）, I heard that he followed Minamoto no Yoritomo’s attack on Oshu. In 1189, the Oshu-Fujiwara（Northern Fujiwara）clan in Mutsu Province was subjugated. FUJIWARA no Yasuhira lost and was killed; the Oshu-Fujiwara clan came to an end. Yoritomo gained a great victory and the Oshu-Fujiwara clan was destroyed. The first generation was given Shinobu District and Date-gun by military service, and was appointed to the Jito（estate steward）,and came to dominate this region. 1337 (Engen 2) during the Nanboku Town period, Northern and Southern dynasties, Southern and Northern Dynasties (Vietnam)（Northern and Southern Dynasties）: Akiie Kitabatake of the Southern Court is dedicated to Emperor Go-Daigo’s prince Yoshiyoshi (later Emperor Go-Murakami（Emperor Gomurakami (1328-April 6, 1368) was the 97th emperor in the period of the Northern and Southern Courts (in Japan) and the second emperor of the Southern Court. (He reigned from September 26, 1339 until April 6, 1368). The Mutsu Shogunfu (local government of Mutsu) was established in the early Northern and Southern Courts period when Emperor Go-Daigo dispatched his son-Imperial Prince Norinaga (who later became Emperor Go-Murakami), Mutsu no kami (the governor of Mutsu Province) Akiie KITABATAKE and others to Taga-jo Castle which served as the provincial office of Mutsu province. In the next year, 1334, in accordance with an order from Imperial Prince Norinaga (the son of Emperor Godaigo; later to be known as Emperor Gomurakami), he went to Tagajo Castle (Tagajo City, Miyagi Prefecture) in Mutsu Province with his father and began management of the Tohoku Region. In December of 1336, which was earlier than the departure of the Emperor Gomurakami from the capital in 1336, the Emperor Godaigo escaped from Kazan-in in Kyoto and reached Anafu, but since there was no place suitable for the Imperial Palace, he went to Yoshino. This originates from the fact that a statue of Masashige（Kusunoki）carved by Emperor Godaigo himself was enshrined there in 1337, and later, Emperor Gomurakami gave the shrine the name ‘the deity of Nagijinja Shrine’. He challenged the Hosokawa clan to a fight in Yamashiro Yawata (Yawata City, Kyoto Prefecture) in 1338 and in Iyo Province in 1340 assisting Yoshisuke WAKIYA on the order of Emperor Gomurakami. However, before he was able to rally from that inferior position, he fell ill and after abdicating the throne to the Prince Noriyoshi (later Emperor Go-Murakami) on August 15, 1339, died at Konrinji Temple the next day, leaving as his last will the defeat of his imperial enemy and the recapture of Kyoto. Emperor Go-Murakami, who resided in Sumiyoshi Angu, held a large memorial service for Emperor Go-Daigo at Shogonjodoji Temple, the family temple of the Tsumori Family whose members had served as chief priests of the Sumiyoshi Grand Shrine, the family shrine of the Southern Court.etc.）). The ancient provincial government offices
of Mutsu was moved from Taga castle centering on Mt. Ryozen（825 m）, and a royal castle was built here, albeit temporarily. Mr. Date will expand his influence to Oshu based in Date District throughout the Kamakura and Muromachi periods. In 1523 (Daiei 3), the 14th Tanemune-Ko was appointed as the guardian of Mutsu. He built the most powerful force in Oshu and tried to reign. Harumune, the 15th generation of 1548 (Tenbun 17): It took about 360 years to move the headquarters to Yonezawa castle; He ruled Shinobu Date based on Date District Koori Town（Yanagawa castle, Nishiyama castle）. At the end of the Warring States period, Date District went through Ujisato Gamou after Oushu’s punishment by Hideyoshi. From 1598 (Keicho 3), it will be controlled by Mr. Uesugi Kagekatsu. For about 300 years before entering the Tokugawa Shogunate feudal clan system（A political form of the Edo Period of Japan called a “system under the Shogunate”）and reaching Meiji, the change of lords was fierce, and it was divided into the territory under the direct control of the Shogunate (Tenryo) and the Daimyo territory. Abukuma River boat transport (eastbound route) developed to carry oshiromai to Edo around 1671 (Kanbun 11). In the middle of the Edo period, it was used for the transportation of silkworm seeds, raw silk, and textiles, and showed prosperity in commerce（Sericulture tools of Date region: 2,530 items (Date City, Fukushima Prefecture) registration date: March 13, 2008-Registration tangible cultural properties.）. After a while, in 1869 (Meiji 2), Fukushima Prefecture was established by annexing the three counties of Shinobu, Date, and Adachi. The prefectural office was set up in Fukushima by the abolished feudal clan（Abolition of the han system）, and the current development of Fukushima City and Date City was built. Merger due to the implementation of the “Municipal System” in 1889 (Meiji 22): April 1, 1889: The act of the City, town, and village was carried out. Promulgation of merger of towns and villages promotion law（Act, No. 258 (S 28/9/1: Actively optimize the scale so as to improve the welfare of the residents.）in 1953 after the war. Along with Fukushima City, which expanded the city area, commerce, agriculture and forestry developed around the sericulture industry. “Date Shoto Seiji”, “Kansei Choshu Shokafu”, “Eiroku Date Keizu”, “Fukushima Prefecture-shi（Magazine）” and “Fukushima City-shi”. Located in the northern part of Prefecture, adjacent to the northeast of Fukushima City, the capital of the prefecture. In the Fukushima Basin where you can see the Abukuma mountain range Ryozen（Early August: Ryozen Japanese Drum Festival (Date City, Fukushima Prefecture.）in the east, the Azuma mountain range in the west, and the mountains on the border of Miyagi prefecture in the north. In the southern and eastern parts of the city, the Abukuma Highlands of about 500 to 800 m extend from north to south. The family name, DATE, was derived from the county name “Date” in Mutsu Province (present-day, the northern area of Nakadori, Fukushima Prefecture [specifically, the area covers Date City of Date County plus a part of Fukushima City]), but the county was originally called “Idate” or “Idachi” in ancient times and changed to “Idate” in the Medieval Period. Of the total area of 265.1 km2, forests account for 38.4% of the total land use of 101.782 km2, which is the largest. Agricultural land is 70.607 km2, accounting for 26.6%, and forests and farmland account for 65% of the total Date City. On New Year’s Day 2006, five towns, Date, Yanagawa, Hobara, Ryozen, and Tsukidate, were consolidated. “Paddy Field Utilization Full Vision” : Management Income Stabilization Measures Enforcement Outline（平成23年4月1日付け, 22経営第7133号農林水産事務次官依命通知, 畑作物の直接支払交付金（ゲタ対策）, 収入減少影響緩和交付金（ナラシ対策）, 水田活用の直接支払交付金等））; Date City Regional Agriculture Revitalization Council, formulated. In the city, the potential value of “partially-dried Japanese persimmon” is discovered with the involvement of various experts and Date City parties. I heard that it was manufactured and sold in Isazawa district, Yanagawa Town, Date District during the Edo period.
