In 1864 (the first year of the Genji era in Japan), France’s Claude Blanche was discovered in his own country. From its taste, it was praised as “a fruit suitable for representing french republic!” I hear that it was later transmitted and named.
【主な特徴】
The Terashima family, who moved to Utamaru, Nagai City, Yamagata Prefecture, and made a connection with my great-grandfather there. And the origin of Koya Town, Aizuwakamatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture, section of village Kami Koya / Seiwa Genji clan (tracing the roots of my beloved mother and ancestors): The Utamaru Township Production Cooperative is located in the Shirakawa area, where a state-owned land improvement facility development project is underway. In the southwest of Yamagata Prefecture, in the central part of the flat Nagai Basin, surrounded by the Iide, Asahi, and Azuma mountain ranges of 2,000 m class mountains, I respect and admire the rural area where the clear stream “Shirakawa” flowing from Mt. Iide flows through. The Imaizumi district of Nagai City was loved by a relative, the late grandmother Matsue, for many years. The Shirakawa water that hydrates the land is rich in minerals, especially Si(OH)4, which is said to be essential for producing delicious rice, and is said to grow disease-resistant rice. In addition, aiming for recycling-oriented agriculture, it seems that cow dung from the fattening department is fully ripened in the compost department and used in the company (paddy rice, feed crops). Considering the “completeness, safety, and quality of food”, he seems to have been particular about the feed of the cows. We are currently practicing feed rice, rice straw, and fodder crops that use our own compost and use as little chemical fertilizers and pesticides as possible. With the goal of producing the best rice in Japan, a round-table discussion and review meeting are held for each fiscal year’s efforts. In order to achieve uniform quality and taste, we practice cultivation based on our own cultivation manual, set up a growth survey, and implement our own management measures based on the survey data. Application of soil preparation materials through joint work. Introduction of taste diagnosis technology using a chlorophyll meter. (Measurement of leaf color at the time of fertilization and middle stage of ripening) Holding of consumer exchange meeting through rice harvesting experience. I am interested in managing the cultivation record book of all producers. District level standards (municipalities): clear any of the items, organically cultivated rice (that can be labeled under the JAS law), specially cultivated rice (certified by Yamagata Prefectural Agriculture Promotion Organization), implementation of soil preparation (Soil improvement material applied for 3 years or more), taste sorting at the field stage by leaf color diagnosis in the middle of ripening.In addition, the brown rice amylose content is 20% or less, the taste value is 80 or more, the grain size ratio is 80% or more, and the brown rice whiteness is 20. that’s all. As a result, we have maintained a taste value of 80 or more for 3 years, and we have added value unique to the region (Yukimuro Rice), and based on the wide-area stage (Zennoh, Kenshuren, and regional practices). On September 15, 2022, JA Zen-noh Yamagata and the Yamagata Greenhouse Melon Producer Association are holding a 2022 Yamagata greenhouse melon competition at Kajo Central in Yamagata City. Earl’s melon “Sonata” by Kenichi Ibukuro of JA Yamagata Okitama (Shirataka Town, Nishiokitama District) was selected for the Grand Prize and Yamagata Prefectural Governor’s Award. He won the highest award two years in a row following last year. From 21 items with 2 balls per box from 4 JA in the prefecture. Igarashi, president of the Yamagata Greenhouse Melon Producer Association, and representatives of the prefectural agriculture, forestry and fisheries department acted as judges, and it seems that four items, such as the appearance and the balance of the two melons, were judged. Ishiguro, head of the Yamagata Agricultural Research Center Horticulture Research Institute, chairman of the judging committee, said, “Everything was wonderful and I was impressed by the outstanding technology of the producers. It was a difficult examination, but the top prize melon was the net. The tension and shape were particularly good, and it exuded a sense of luxury suitable for the Yamagata brand.” ‘Yonezawa City’, Located at the southernmost tip of Yamagata prefecture. It is located in the Yonezawa basin at the foot of the Azuma mountain range, which is the source of the mother river “Mogami River”, and borders Fukushima Prefecture. It is the fourth of the 35 municipalities in the prefecture and boasts an area of 548.74 km2. The highest point is the west Azuma mountain range at an altitude of 2,035 m, and the highest point in the city is 260 m above sea level, which is low from south to north. The summer is hot and humid, the annual rainfall is a little lower than the national average, and the winter is a harsh environment. It is designated as a special heavy snowfall area designated by the prefecture, and the cumulative annual snow depth can reach 10 m. Even in the city, there is enough snowfall to reach the maximum snow depth of about 100 cm in normal years, and I miss the countryside. Including Shirabu hot spring, Ubayu hot spring, Ohira hot spring, Nemekawa hot spring, Shintakayu hot spring, Goshiki hot spring, Yunosawa hot spring, etc. （“Oushusantakayu”: Zao, Shirabu, Takayu）There are abundant hot springs, and you can easily enjoy mountain climbing and skiing in the summer mountains. “Maeda Keiji Dochu Nikki” (Yonezawa city designated cultural property, owned by Yonezawa Library). Due to the influence of the manga ‘Hana no Keiji’ featuring him, he is quite often called Keiji MAEDA. It is said that he was from the Takigawa clan (ninja family), but he was adopted by Arako castle owner, Toshihisa Maeda. Kabuki-mono: Especially in the European and American block, the culture of ‘Japan’ as imagined by foreign people was likely to be exaggerated in some part or being mixed with China and being stereotyped, due to curiosity (exoticism) about a culture of which the ancestry was completely different from that of Christian culture, and many ‘perception biases’ from the Japanese viewpoint were seen (even now, there are many foreign travelers who are surprised to know that Japan has no ‘ninja’ (professional spy in feudal Japan highly trained in stealth and secrecy)). After the Western Army lost the battle and the territory of the Uesugi Clan was reduced to 300,000 koku of rice and relocated to the Domain of Yonezawa, Toshimasu served the Domain of Yonezawa and retired to Domori near Yonezawa (currently known as Keijisimizu in Domori, Bansei Town, Yonezawa City). Nanyo City, It is located in the Okitama basin in the south, surrounded by the Azuma and Iide mountains from the south to the west, with the Ou Mountains in the east. The northern part is a mountainous area with an open field in the south, and the climate is blessed, making it suitable for growing rice, vegetables, and fruit trees. Is your aunt doing well?

It is said that animals, plants, and human beings are born in this world by the power of “Musuhi（A spiritual work that creates, develops, and completes heaven and earth and all things with the idea of Shinto.）. ‘Nagai City’（100 beautiful Japanese uneven landscapes; plains）, Born in November 1954 by the merger of five villages in one town. Located in the southwestern part, the place name is derived from “a place where water gathers”, and countless streams run in the mountains. The town is blessed with water resources where the nogawa river, shirakawa river and mogami river flow, and the construction of a multipurpose dam “Magai dam” with functions such as flood control is being promoted. In addition, it is a flower town where flowers such as “Kubo Zakura（Isazawa: Cerasus itosakura (Sieb.) Masam. & Suzuki f. ascendens (Makino) H. Ohba & H. Ikeda）”, “Tsutsuji（Rhododendron L., azalea）”, “Ayame（Iris sanguinea Hornem., 1813）”, and “Hagi（Bush clover, Japanese clover）”, which are nationally designated natural monuments（”Two-stage designation of monuments,” is a system in which, in respect of historic sites, places of scenic beauty and natural monuments defined as “monuments” by the Act on Protection of Cultural Properties, monuments selected as ‘especially important’ among those designated by the national government are classified into the categories prefixed with ‘Special’ to call them “Special Historic Site,” “Special Place of Scenic Beauty” or “Special Natural Monument,” respectively.）that bloom in rich soil, color the four seasons. About 300 years ago, it prospered as a commercial city by the Mogami River transport of the Uesugi Yonezawa clan. Nagai’s culture and industry have blossomed greatly, supported by the rich wealth of the large merchants that have been accumulated. Waterways still run like a net in the city, and they are used as water for daily life, but I miss them when I remember the past. Utilizing the waterway, a regulated waterway will be provided and supplied to small and medium-sized rivers as water for snow removal, which will be used for snow removal during the winter. Underground water from the clear stream Oktamanogawa River was taken and supplied as drinking water, and was healed many times as a child. Autumn tradition “Imoni-kai”: Along the Mogami River embankment. There are many legends and customs related to water. Kurojishi Festival: It is a traditional Shinto ritual that has been handed down to various shrines in Nagai City, which dates back 1000 years, and is currently inherited by more than 40 shrines in the city. Water drunk before an altar to symbolize the making of a vow: Mizuha. Nagasuke Terashima, the eldest son of Kagesuke Yoshie, is the bloodline of my ancestors. In Bodaiji（temple with one’s family grave）, precious souls, including grandmather, are sleeping. Shingon-shu Buzan-ha Hensho temple（Gyoki Bosatsu）. Takahata Town, Higashiokitama District, In the beautiful and fertile town of the alluvial fan of the Yashiro River and Wada River, which have their headwaters deep in the mountains of Ou. MAHOROBA（Easy to live in, wonderful, Historical and cultural heritage from the ancient Jomon period.）: Derived from the ancient word “mahora” often found in Kojiki, it means “a fertile and comfortable place to live surrounded by mountains and hills. “Golden rice ears sway on the fertile flat land, and fresh grapes, apples and pears grow in the mountains. I connected my hands and went to the farm, and even though I couldn’t do it, I said that I would help, and I took care of it. Due to the peculiarity of the basin, the season is clear, the summer is hot, and the winter tends to be extremely cold. Especially in the winter, a large amount of snow falls due to the seasonal wind from the continent. The large temperature difference between day and night has a positive effect on the growth of agricultural products. That’s why it’s delicious. Takahata Castle (Takahata Town, Higashi-Okitama County, Yamagata Prefecture): It is also called Kanega Castle because its shape resembles a bell. It is said that there was Honmaru in the current Takahata school ground and Otemon near Showa nursery school. Suehira Hizume built the castle. “Kawanishi Town”, Located in the Okitama region in the southern part of Yamagata prefecture. Birth merged with one town five village in 1955. That’s Komatsu Town, Otsuka, Inukawa, Chugun, Tamaniwa, Yoshijima Village. Since it is located on the west side of the Mogami River, it was named by Kawanishi Town and its pioneers. During his stay in Komatsu, Isabella Lucy Bird praised the Yonezawa Plain as the Garden of Eden and the Arcadia of Asia. This is probably because the terrain is roughly divided into vast countryside and gentle hills, and is blessed with abundant nature. Japan’s largest scale “kawanishi dahlira garden” is a 4 hectare garden with 650 species and 100,000 dahlia × hortensis guillaumin dahlia × pinnata cav（Native to Mexico）. Utilizing the abundant nature, it is known as the “rice center” next to the Shonai plain in the prefecture. It has a history and local sake produced from good quality rice and clean water. The deliciousness of Yonezawa beef supported by advanced technology is highly evaluated all over the country. The nationally designated historic site “Shimokomatsu tumulus group（From the north, it is divided into six branches of Jingamine, Eishoji, Yakushisawa, Takamachiba, Komoriyama, and Amagasawa, and the total number of tumulus is 202.）” and the prefecture-designated historic site “Tenjinmori tumulus（1984 『川西町埋蔵文化財調査報告書6：天神森古墳発掘調査報告書』川西町教育委員会社会教育課）”, which is the largest front and rear tumulus in Tohoku. Protection of Japanese serow（Capricornis crispus (Temminck, 1844): 日本書紀, 643年頃（皇極天皇2年）「岩上に, 小猿米焼く, 米だにも, たげてとおらせ, 山羊（カマシシ）の老翁」）, a special natural monument. Shirataka Town, Nishiokitama District, Located in the southern center of the prefecture. The eastern part is the Shirataka hills, the western part is the Mt. Asahi system, and the Mogami River flows through the center, blessed with abundant nature. Merger of towns and villages（The town system came into effect on October 1,1954.）: Arato, Ayukai, Higashine, Shirataka, Juo, Koguwa. In October of the following year, a part of Nishimurayama District Asahi Town was incorporated. It is widely known as the “classical cherry blossom village” because there are many old trees of Edohigan tree（Prunus pendula Maxim. var. ascendens Makino; Cerasus spachiana Lav. ex Otto f. ascendens (Makino) H. Ohba）that are over 500 years old. Along the Mogami River: The rich countryside spreads, and raw milk is produced mainly by rice cultivation, apples, tomatoes, and dairy farming. It is also famous as one of the leading production areas of Akebia introduced earlier. Atagoyama (Shirataka Town）: Altitude 348 m. “Iide Town”, It’s located in the southwest, but I’d love to visit it once. To the east are Yonezawa City and Kawanishi Town. Adjacent to Oguni Town in the west, Kitakata City in Fukushima Prefecture in the south, and Nagai City in the north. The northeastern part is known nationwide for producing good quality rice in agricultural areas using Shirakawa natural water and fertile cultivated land. The hills are beef cattle producing areas, and the southern part is covered with mountains connected to the Iide mountain range. In the town, the large white “lilium auratum” and the pretty pink “Lilium rubellum” bloom typically. An example of the most beautiful village in France: Joined the NPO “The Most Beautiful Villages in Japan” in H20 years. Every day, I am engaged in activities to protect the landscape, environment and culture of Japanese agricultural and mountain villages that cannot be regained. Woodland close to the village (living area) scenery and satoyama culture（peri-urban woodland culture）in the Nakatsugawa area, Iide mountain range, Rural scattered settlement. Three local resources were recognized, and it was a great achievement. Hagyu Castle was built by Masanobu Kokubu and was defeated in 1591 and abandoned. “Oguni Town”, Located at the southwestern tip, on the prefectural border with Niigata prefecture（The second largest municipality among the 35 municipalities in Prefecture）. The town is surrounded by magnificent mountains such as the Asahi mountain range and the Iide mountain range, which belong to the bandai asahi national park. Deciduous broad-leaved forests spread out to cover the entire town, including the beech forest that leaves a primitive landscape, soothing us. Due to the influence of the climate on the Sea of Japan side, it rains a lot in summer, and in winter it is one of the most heavy snowfall areas in Japan. It is said that the amount of snow does not fall below 2 m even in the center of the town, and in some mountain villages it reaches up to 5 m. It is one of the most heavy snowfall areas in Japan, and the heavy snowfall of 1963 turned the town into an “isolated island on land.”However, a lot of rain and snow store abundant water（The corporation that paid attention to the feat of constructing a hydroelectric power plant and using the electric power to start manufacturing alloy iron such as ferrosilicon in 1938.）in the land and nurture the lives of many animals and plants that inhabit it, including forests. It has become a very important water resource, and outdoor sports and events are actively held, promoting the revitalization of each region. We are trying to promote it by utilizing the vast land, rich natural environment, and unique living culture that is deeply related to nature as “town advantage”. People have a mountain respect hold dear heart in the form of faith in god. It is a subject to be afraid of because of its divine appearance and the rigor of being violent in a disaster. A great being who is an object of fear and at the same time gives water and food to live. As many as 80 mountain gods are scattered so as to cover the villages of the town, which tells the story of the people’s faith duration of breeder’s rights of 3 years.「山形おきたま伝統野菜: 山形おきたま伝統野菜振興協議会; Yamagata Okitama Traditional Vegetables: Yamagata Okitama Traditional Vegetable Promotion Council」, おかひじき（Salsola komarovii Iljin（Modest Mikhailovich Ilyin（波, 旧ソ連）, Saltwort）, うこぎ（Araliaceae Juss（Antoine Laurent de Jussieu（仏）. ）, 小野川豆もやし（「三沢村大字小野川もやし業組合（現: 米沢市南西部）」1923年06/01）, 雪菜（Brassica Campestris L. var.

It is said that the first feudal lord, Kagekatsu Uesugi, was introduced when he entered Yonezawa from Aizu, and it is said that his vassal, Kanetsugu Naoe, had the samurai in the Kubota Town family build it. After that, it was designated as a recommended crop by Yozan Uesugi, and it seems to have spread. However, around 1985, in order to make up for the loss of income due to the policy of reducing acreage (under cultivation), the rice fields had to be replaced. Kubota eggplants used to be cultivated everywhere, but now there are only a few growers, and it is difficult to obtain them. On the other hand, the school emblem of Yonezawa Municipal Kubota Elementary School in the Kubota area has a Kubota eggplant flower design, and the “Kubota eggplant” has been certified as a succession crop for the next generation of Yonezawa City. Taking advantage of its location near Yonezawa city, Kubota has played the role of a vegetable garden for the castle town. Cultivation methods are a transmission of the secrets of an art, craft, trade or learning from father to only one child, and it seems to be done when the snow melts on Mt. , not much can be harvested from a single tree: 米沢市窪田地区: 直江（樋口）兼続）, Toyama turnip（The origin of the name comes from the place name of the Toyama district of Yonezawa City. When the Uesugi family moved from Echigo to Aizu and then to Yonezawa in 1600, they brought it with them. It seems that it is said that the production of autumn turnips began to flourish as a result of promoting the production of autumn turnips in Toyama. It seems that Toyama turnip is the only white, round native turnip in the prefecture. In the past, most of the farmers in Toyama, which is next to Koshida, cultivated it, but it seems that it was once in danger of disappearing. However, thanks to the cooperation of pickle shops, farmers, and sake brewers who wanted to protect the taste, they were able to find a single producer and protect the seeds. Currently, it seems that several farmers are cultivating and continuing to protect the seeds. Also, if the seeds are sown too early, disease will occur, the turnip will crack, and the appearance of the epidermis and the texture of the turnip itself will deteriorate. Seeds are sown from the end of August to the beginning of September, and harvested two months later from the end of October to the beginning of November. By the way, it seems that the kabunotou, which was created by crossing this Toyama turnip and Nagaokana, became a vegetable that grows in the snow, “Yukina greens” : 米沢市上長井（遠山）地区: 山形おきたま雪菜生産部会: Brassica campestris）, Horse bite（Umanokamishime beans, which is a native variety of edamame in Yamagata along with dadacha soybeans, seems to be made in the southern part of Yamagata Prefecture, especially in Nagai City. When it comes to soybeans, it seems that the soybeans came to be called soybeans because the surface of the soybeans has marks that look like they were bitten by a horse. Because they are flat and light green beans, they are also called “Aohira beans” in other prefectures. It was once said to be an extinct variety. However, since some farmers kept the seeds, neighboring farmers are working together to increase the amount of cultivation. It is harvested from the end of September to the beginning of October. In addition, it is said that the harvest time is after equinoctial week when the consumption of edamame is low, and it takes time to sort flat beans even after harvesting, so the number of producers decreased and it was temporarily extinct: 長井市: 青平豆: The more you chew, the more the flavor comes out）, Yatsubusa eggplant（Around 250 years ago, a family that moved from Niigata City to Nagai City brought it in, and production began. It was cultivated in the city even after the war, but it seems that the cultivation area decreased for a while and it was in danger of extinction. However, it seems that the Yakubo family in Nagai City has protected and inherited the seeds for generations. Kihei, who is the 5th generation of the same family, is a seedling farmer, avoiding overselling, preventing theft, protecting good seeds, and gradually increasing the acreage by dividing the seedlings to reliable producers. There is a theory that the name is derived from the fact that the cross section of the fruit looks like an octagon. (Certified on 1.22/2018) In addition, the harvest period is from early July to mid-October, and it is characterized by being able to harvest later than thin-skinned round eggplants. The shape is slightly elongated and drawstring, the color is bright purple, and the skin is so soft that it leaves marks when pressed. Approximately 15 households in Nagai City are engaged in production, harvesting 6 tons per year: 長井市: 矢久保家, It has survived by protecting the seeds for generations（Certified as a traditional vegetable in January 2016）.

When La France pears first debuted, there was a period of struggle when they were nicknamed “Midagunasu” in the Yamagata dialect, but many people were surprised at the difference in appearance and taste once they took a bite. Today, it has become known throughout Japan as the “Queen of Fruits.” In addition, as it is also called “butter pair”, the rich scent that tickles the nostrils and the mellow flesh are irresistible. It seems that pruning work that is conscious of the sun is important to grow this excellent agricultural product deliciously. It seems to be shaped like a bell so that the sunlight pouring in from the sky spreads evenly. The branches are carefully trimmed like a tree with its arms outstretched facing the sun. Nanyo City has terraced fields, so it seems that they are devising ways to match the conditions of the land. And budding and fruit picking. Among the seven flowers that bloom on one branch, the flower that gets the most sunlight is identified, and the others are removed. In order to improve the overall quality, all the farmers are certified as eco-farmers, and it seems that they go around the farm three times a year. Attendance at 70% of the seminar is required. It seems that the same fertilizer is used and the timing of spraying is also the same. They do not use herbicides, and they seem to set rules for the number of times insect repellents and pesticides are used. Also, if the rules cannot be cleared, it seems that it is obligatory to prohibit shipment. Tracing the history of La France pears, it represents the pear that was born in France in the middle of the 19th century with great expectations as a representative variety of France. It is said that the name “La France” was given because of its deliciousness, which was praised as “a fruit worthy of representing Japan.” It is said that Lafrance came to Japan in 1903. It is unknown whether it was introduced to Yamagata Prefecture after that, but since there are trees in Yamagata Prefecture that are about 100 years old, it is thought that it was introduced to Japan and entered Yamagata Prefecture in a short period of time because it has been over 100 years old. It seems that. In addition, in 2020, the prefecture is the number one producer of pears in Japan, accounting for more than 60% of the national production. It has a long history, and in 1864, Claude Blanche of France discovered it mysteriously and fragrantly.
