Together with Nogizaka 46, let's learn about Kokushou Kokusan!
What we eat is made in our own country as much as possible.
It is called Kokusho Kokusan.
Currently, Japan's food supply is 37% calorie- based.
About 60% depends on imports.
If Japan's rice paddies and fields become less,
and if import from overseas is also restricted due to disasters,
we may run out of food to eat.
In this program, we will be reporting on the local food we eat, and how it is made and where it is made.
Nogizaka 46 members, who are in support of the JA Group's domestic and domestic activities, will be reporting on the local food.
On the special page, we are also publishing a quiz on the local food.
This year, 2021, is the International Fruits and Vegetables Year.
By harvesting fruits and vegetables, it will be a good opportunity to think about nutrition and health benefits.
This time, the mission is to learn the production site of domestic fruits and learn the secret to making fresh fruits delicious.
Thank you.

Good balance of sourness and sweetness. It's good for both sourness and sweetness.
Well, from young people to old people, it's a popular variety with regards to taste. From young people to old people, it's a popular variety in terms of taste.
What I had you eat just now is that the best variety I make is Shimafuji, a variety that has an island vertically. What I just ate is the best variety of mine. It's called Shimafuji, which is a vertical island.
There is only one type of Fuji itself, but there are about 100 types of lineages. There is only one variety of Fuji, but there are about 100 varieties.
Therefore, as farmers, we want everyone to find their favorite Mt.Fuji. I hope everyone will find your favorite Fuji in the same Fuji.
There are 100 types. Are there suitable places for apple cultivation?
It's all about fruits, but there's a mountain over there that's called a washing ground. There is a river in the city, and it seems like a river used to flow in the old days. In the past, there was a place where the river flowed, and the water was good.
Furthermore, here in Nakano City, where I work, annual rainfall is quite low compared to other places in Japan. The less rain, the better. In addition, here in Nakano City, where I work, the annual water supply is quite low even in Japan.
It's hard to get sick, and it's hard to get watery, so it's easier to get the sweetness that you just ate. It's hard to get sick, and it's hard to get watery, so it's easier to get the sweetness you just ate.

The second one is Akibae. It's delicious. It's sweet at once. It's sweet, but it's a little different from the acidity of the previous one. I think it's delicious because the balance is good.
If you like apples, there is a variety that was born in Nakano City, but even our customers started with Akibae, and the season started with the balance of sourness and sweetness.
Next is Sinanogold.
It's really sweet.
Gold has a lot of juice when you eat it.
I often tell my husband that it's really champagne.
I don't think you've ever had a drink yet.
It's like carbonated water.
When you eat it, you take a breath from your nose and eat it.
You can smell the unique scent of gold.
I don't believe it.
Next is Gunma Meigetsu.
It's the same as the yellow one, but it's completely different from gold.
It's a little like yonashi.
The scent is like that.
And finally, Sinanosweet.
Sweet.

It's sweet and delicious.
I think you'll find something you like when you eat it.
I want you to find what you like.
We're going to produce it for you.
Which one did you like the most?
One, two, three, four.
Wait a minute.
Which one do you want?
I'll do it.
OK. One, two, three.
No way.
Now, I'd like you to use this tree to help me cut the fruit.
OK.
What's wrong?
I was curious about the difference between yellow and red.
That's right.
Actually, apple trees are made of different varieties of apple trees.
It's a characteristic of our farm.
It's a trend.
At first, we used to grow Fuji trees, but then we started to grow gold trees.
Now, Fuji trees are growing better, so we're returning Fuji trees to their original state.
That's why we still have red and yellow trees.
It's like a math class.
That's right.
It's a little confusing.
It's complicated.
It's amazing.
You can add and subtract.
That's right. Basically, the root of a disease is a disease.
I see.
The reason why I can cut the fruit is because it has a different texture.
done by Hatsumi and tamamaishi. What does he do next?
We sift the
And this side is exposed to sunlight, so you turn it around like this, and make sure it's well- combined all over.
Of course, the leaves are also well-combined, but the whole fruit is also well-combined, so it's not just the leaves that are well-combined, but the whole fruit is also well-combined.
It's a very important task.
First, from the bridge.
From here.
I'm going to pick up the leaves.
Like this?
No, not at all.
Like this?
Make sure there are no leaves on the fruit.
I understand.
You should also pick up the remaining leaves.
If you pick up the leaves on the top, the sun will come in.
Like this, and then you'll turn the ball toward the sun.
Hold the branches and let the fruit roll around.
It's scary, isn't it?
I did it!
It's OK.
I did it.
Next is Tsutsui's turn.
Good, good. Take as many as you can.
How many people do you usually do this kind of work?
At home, my dad, mom and I do it.
My wife is in third grade right now.
Oh, I see.
She's in first grade.
You do it with your family.
Yes, with four people.
That's nice.
That's good, that's good.
Yeah, okay.
Next, I'd like you to do some other work. What do you think this is?
A sheet?
Yes. Well, we've just had the seed germinated, and we're going to have the fruit be exposed to light.
In order to further enhance its effectiveness, we're going to put this sheet on the ground and make it a sheet that's more effective.
What?
We're going to reflect the light on the ground and apply it from below.
It's kind of like a f-board.
That's right.
I see.
Please.
I'll do my best.
I'd like you to hold this and this and pull it like this.
Like this?
Yes.
Then, Ms. Tsutsui, can you come in a little more on this side?
A little more on this side?
Yes, yes, like this. That's right, that's right.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Then, I'd like you to spread it out and poke a hole in the corner.
Yes.
Is it hard?
It's done.
Is it done?
Yes.
Next, Ms. Kagehashi, please pull this part firmly and poke this part.
Yes.
Here we go.
And this time, pull it this way so that the sheet doesn't get wrinkled as much as possible.
That's right, that's right.
Then, Ms. Kagehashi, please pull that part at the end.
This sheet is white in color, so it's a sheet that reflects only the UV light so that it can be used for high-resolution.
That's right.
It's done.
Is it done?
Yes.
Then, let's move on to the next sheet.
Yes.
Next, this is a different kind of sheet because it's harder to get the light in than before.
Wow.
It's an aluminum foil-like sheet.
Wow.
I'd like you to spread this out and put it on the part that's going to be the shadow of the tree.
Yes.
Like this.
Oh.
Look at the top and you can see that the sun is shining.
It's brighter than before, so you can make a new hole anywhere in that corner.
I'll do it.
Yes.
Oh.
Five times.
Yes.
I did it.
Can I open it?
It's a new one.
That's fine.
Oh.
Good.
Yes.
Okay.
Then, I'd like you to fix it in the same way.
Yes.
Thank you.
I'll do it.
Like this.
Yes.
This sheet also has the effect of warming this part, so it's easier to get cold than the outside, so I'd like to warm it up at the end to improve the ripeness of the fruit.
Wow.
This is a squatting work, isn't it?
Yes.
Aren't you tired?
I'm still fine, but it's hard for my parents to squat when they get older.
That's right.
I'm thinking about various ways to grow fruit so that it doesn't happen.
I see.
I'm trying to make a work that everyone can do as much as possible, so that everyone who works and eats will have fun.
That's great.
I'm trying to make a work that everyone can do as much as possible.
That's great.
Now, I'd like you to harvest the apples.
Yay!
The point of harvesting is that the whole thing is yellow, and the bottom of the apple is open.
If you look at it, there's still something that's closed, but I'd like you to leave it in the tree and harvest the yellow thing that's open.
I see.
Thank you.
I'll show you how to do it.
There's a thing called Ryuzu, and you use your index finger to hold it down.
If you twist it like this, you can take it like this.
And then you can put it in the basket like this.
Understood.
What should I do?
You can take all of them.
All of them?
Yes.
Then this one.
Oh, I got it.
I got it.
Here you go.
Grab here.
Put your index finger here.
Like this?
Yes.
Oh, I got it.
Look, it's attached like you.
It's cute.
Wow.
I'm happy.
It's so big.
Here I go.
Here you go.
Wow, it's so big.
It's big.
How big is it?
About your nose.
It's much bigger than mine.
It's big.
It's about your face.
That's right.
Can you take it?
I can take this one.
But how can I take a bigger one?
That's right.
People often notice it.
I'm using a secret weapon.
A secret weapon?
What is it?
I'm going to introduce it to you.
I'm looking forward to it.
What is it?
I'm going to use this machine to take a high place.
Wow.
This is a high-rise worker.
It's a machine to take a high place.
My parents usually use it.
Even if I'm weak, I can climb high without using a ladder.
Two people from NOGI SAKA 46 are also trying to get a job as a high-rise worker.
Let's start with Tsutsui.
I'm going to start.
Please get on from here.
I'm going to lock it.
Please turn it to start.
You can let go of it.
If you step on the pedal, you can go up.
What is it?
Stop.
Turn off the engine.
It's fun.
Is it fun?
Can I take a picture?
Please take a picture.
Let's take a picture together.
I was able to take a picture.
Please take a picture of the high place.
I was able to take a picture.
Next, KAKEHASHIMO challenge.
It's amazing.
Please turn off the engine.
Please take a picture of the lower ring.
Let's take a picture.
It's nice.
Amazing.
The scenery...
It's nice, isn't it?
Wow, I got it.
I'm going to take it.
Thank you for your help today.
Thank you very much.
How was it?
I had a lot of fun doing it today, but I thought it would be difficult to do it on a rainy day or a hot day.
I realized that farmers put a lot of effort into growing delicious apples.
Thank you very much.
How about you, Tsui-san?
I had a lot of fun, and I usually eat a lot of apples, so I was surprised to see how much effort was put into one apple.
Thank you very much.
What was the most difficult task you had to do today?
The most difficult task is to cut the branches of the apple tree when it snows.
I think about how the next year's crops will change, and I do it while moving on the snow.
That's the most difficult and difficult task.
It snows a lot.
That's right.
What was the most difficult task you had to do to make delicious fruits?
Lately, it has become a challenge to coexist with nature.
It rains so much that it becomes a big disaster every year, so it is the most difficult task to make delicious fruits.
Also, the age of the person who eats it has changed.
In the past, everyone ate a lot, but now young people eat a lot.
If the young people are separated from the fruit, it means that even though such delicious apples are made in Japan, they will not be made in Japan.
That's right. After all, buying and eating will lead to the next one, but after all, if the amount of consumption decreases, it may be changed to something else.
After all, what you eat is what you eat in that country.
We want you to make it well and eat it.
It will be a memory of our farmers.
That's right.
So that young people can eat it.
We try to process it into sweets.
We are now thinking about various ways to eat it.
That's right.
Certainly, it's not the material itself.
I like sweets and bai.
Young people like it.
We hope you can eat this delicious apple and other fruits.
We don't know that part at all.
We want you to do your best together.
Please.
This time, we experienced the harvest of apples.
Next time, we will help you with the export of apples.
We will also experience making sweets using domestic apples.
Please watch the next episode as well.
Please watch it.
