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 Fruit and Vegetable Year set by the United Nations.
By harvesting fruits and vegetables, it will be a good opportunity to think about nutrition and health benefits.
Meanwhile, Kakehashi visited Mitsui, a fruit farmer in Nagano Prefecture, to experience self- management and apple harvesting.
This time, we will start with the help of division.
Here are the apples we got from the two of you. We will now go through them one by one.
One by one?
Among the apples we got, there are various types of apples.
We have apples that are shipped to supermarkets,
and those that are not as good as local brands.
However, the taste is the same, so we sell the good ones at our local e-sea-side,
and we offer them to families with children at a low price, depending on the degree of damage.
So, we would like to go in that direction.
Let's get started.
Please look at the apples and see if there are any scratches on them.
Actually, this one has a good color, so we will put it in this box.
If you look at this one, there are scratches on it.
This is sold at our local e-sea-side, so we would like you to put it in this box.
Please give it a try.
How about this one?
I don't think there are any scratches.
Actually, this part is rust, so it's a little worn out.
It's not easy to get this at low temperatures in spring,
but this one will be out of stock if it's from JA, so we would like to sell it at our local e-sea- side.
I see.
Please keep doing it.
How about this one?
This one has more rust than the previous one, but if you look at the whole thing, it's like this.
This one also has rust, so we would like to sell it at our local e-sea-side.
I see.
We collect apples from farmers in this area and sell them at our local e-sea-side.
If you put something with a low ranking, it will affect the image of the brand in the whole area, so please look at it carefully.
Please look at the whole thing.
How is it?
It looks good, so I'll take it.
I passed.
It's beautiful.
It's shiny.
I passed.
Thank you for selecting apples.
Thank you very much.
How was it?
It's difficult to judge.
It's difficult.
I realized that selecting apples is an important job.
How do these apples work?
We sell them at our local e-sea-side, and we offer them at a low price as a preventive measure to prevent young people from leaving their homes.
We also process the apple that has been torn and give it to everyone to drink.
The two people who worked hard to help will receive apple juice made from imported apples.
This is the apple juice made from imported apples.
This is not the apple juice I know.
This is the most fragrant apple juice I have ever drunk.
This is a very rich apple juice.
The taste of this apple juice is the same as the apple juice made from imported apples.
Yes, that's right. Sometimes we can run fast and sometimes we can't.
There are various types of apples.
I think it is our duty to make use of the apples and make everyone enjoy them.
What will happen to this apple?
This apple will be sent to Jay Nakanoshi and will be collected in a place called Kyosenjo.
Farmers other than us will also gather and work together.
The size of the apples and the ranking will be further divided from here.
The apples will be packed and sent to the market.
The apples will be lined up at supermarkets all over Japan.
The apples will be exported to other countries in the future.
We can't do it at home, but by passing through Jay Nakanoshi, we can send domestic fruits to other countries.
We can't do it one by one.
If domestic apples can be eaten overseas,
I'm very happy to see you lined up at the supermarket.
Already chosen by choice, chosen by choice
I understand well that you are children.
After all, we will put out good things first at our own place
Because we are doing that, the brand as a region
And that's why it's established as a national brand.
I think that one of the characteristics of Japanese fruits is that they are highly evaluated overseas.
That's amazing I'm so happy
Actually, I'm also a no-tuber at JA.
no tuber?
Yes From the Producer's Perspective to the Consumer
I'm doing it with the thought that I want to disseminate various information.
I would love to see both of you today.
Is it okay? I definitely want to see it
Snow? Last year last year Last year's fifty centimeters?
There are times when the wet snow falls with a bang, and when that happens, fields like this also do.
All the low branches are covered with snow and are pulled when they melt further.
There is also the fact that all the branches will be broken, so I will fly the drone and protect the trees from which field.
This is actually broken, but like this
If you don't send out this kind of thing relatively, there are times when this kind of thing is happening at the production site.
I'm doing activities with the hope that I can deliver water and sweets to everyone, including those places.
That's how apples are made with so much time and effort.
The river was about to flood, so I pulled this Marcho once, I'm streaming the work of removing it again.
When I went a little further, it actually flooded, and about 6 hours after I took the picture, the water started to submerge.
At this time, I was still in the field, but after about 2 or 3 hours, the water around here had risen.
This is what it looks like in the morning
There was a tree where I was pointing, but it was completely submerged in the water.
It can't be helped that water gets in because it's along the river, In recent years, it's been happening more and more.
Have there been any recent floods? Speaking of recent major disasters, Typhoon No. 19 in 2019 devastated the fields.
Furthermore, in this year's flood, the same place was also submerged, so that's right.
If I had suffered this much damage, I would have already broken my heart.
somehow why something
how do you say
have you recovered from your feelings
In my case, there were many reasons why I basically became a farmer.
It's a family meal, and I think it's very meaningful to have a time where each and every one of you thinks it's delicious.
So, of course, sadness is sadness because there are places that are doing things in order to deliver that.
The fields that were submerged earlier were all submerged 10 days before the harvest, so all of the stuff that touched the water.
Even so, there are people who are waiting for me, so I want to deliver them properly.
It's the same with delivering it as an individual, but the point is, as a person, it's better to look forward to the products of the production area.
I don't know myself directly, but there are people who are looking forward to it, so I have to make a lot of them.
in the thought
I'm doing my best in that place where I can't lose
very
10 days before harvest
What's gone is
more than i imagined
I want to see it, right? Just looking at it makes my heart hurt
I really want people to eat the cooked apples, so I'd like to move to another place.
thank you
Using the delicious apples made by Mr. Mitsui, he will teach you the best sweets recipes made in Japan.
I visited this cafe near the farm
Then, I will move to Cafe Elk near our farm and have the two of you make sweets.
Today, we will make delicious sweets using domestically produced apples.
I can't do it by myself, so I'm going to ask Mr. Kondo from Cafe Elk to help me.
I'm Kondo. Nice to meet you.
What kind of sweets will you make today?
Today, I would like to make an apple pie using the apples that you have picked up from Mitsui's farm.
fun
First of all, put chopped apples and sugar in a pot from making jam
Alert
Next, squeeze the lemon.If you don't squeeze this lemon, the color of the apple will get worse.
Yes, it's ok. And this is what matters in the end.
what is it?
What Mr. Kondo took out was a bag filled with red apple skins.
Add this to the apple jam and simmer it together to make it pretty pink.
If you mix the apple and the sugar together, water will come out of the apple.
I will use this water to boil down
After simmering for about 10 minutes, it will look like a jam, then mix with a spatula to bring out the color.
Then...
Oh pink!
it's pink
Wow amazing!
From there, simmer further.
what's going on?
Throb
yes i can open
Wow, wow!
it's pink
It's so pink! It's dyed
cute!
A lot of the moisture evaporates and it's starting to look like jam.
yes please put out the fire
yes it's done
Complete!
It looks delicious! I'm looking forward to it, apple pie
I'm hungry already
hey
Okay, now that the jam is ready, I'd like to cut the apples to decorate the pie.
Yes, please
Okay, so what shape should I cut this apple into?
I had it placed in this shape, and it was first tapped to a thickness of about 2 to 3 mm from the top.
This is how to cut an apple so that it will look like a ginkgo biloba when finished.
yes please cut carefully
Is it okay? Even if it's 5mm
Is it true? Gentle
Gentle Skilled!
Am I good? Yes, you are good.
Are there any apples that go well with apple pie?
Yes, there are.
There are apple pies, and the cinnamon rolls that everyone has taken.
These apples are also great for making sweets.
There is also an apple called Akibae.
Did you get it? Yes, I got it.
The whole thing.
That is also good for making sweets.
So the red skin of the jam is important.
That's right.
That kind of apple is quite suitable.
Apples cut into a fan shape.
Put jam and apples on top of the pie dough.
Put jam on top.
That's right.
You can't take it out like this.
Oh, I see.
I was mistaken.
I thought I'd put it here, in this thin place.
After putting a lot of apple jam, arrange the cut apples.
Okay, let's move on.
It looks difficult, and the way to cut it is easy.
But it looks really good, doesn't it?
That's right.
It's a little bit.
It's easy, though.
I'll go last.
Yes, great.
I was able to cut it.
It looks good.
Make sure the apples don't fall off while you're baking.
Lift up the edges and wrap the apples.
Okay.
Put a little bit of this egg to stick together.
Here we go.
That's incredible!
Thank you very much.
The process itself is surprisingly easy.
You can do it at home too.
The apples are wrapped nicely. All that's left is to bake them.
Now they're baked.
Wow!
They look so good!
They're so stylish!
Amazing!
I had them lined up nicely, so I was able to bake them without any gaps.
The color of the skin is different, so they look more gorgeous.
They look so good!
Apples on a plate! They look so good!
I wonder what they taste like?
They look so good! They smell so good!
These are the apples that we harvested at Mitsui's farm.
Let's eat them together!
Itadakimasu!
You look so happy!
Is it good?
Yeah!
It's the one we took.
The sweetness of the apple is fresh.
Really?
Yeah.
It's good.
It's crispy. It's like the apple jam that Sayaka made.
It's even sweeter because it's baked. It's delicious, isn't it?
I've never had any of these before.
It's very fresh.
That's true.
The pie dough is also unique and delicious.
The pie dough is also delicious.
By mixing various kinds of apples, each apple is sweet and sour.
We don't add sweetness with sugar.
We make apple pies using the original taste of apples.
It's more delicious to have more than one kind.
That's a good choice.
After all, I was able to get so many kinds of pies made in Japan.
I've become more and more attracted to the charm of this country.
The apple pie was delicious, wasn't it? Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much for your help.
Thank you very much.
I was able to eat it and it was delicious even as a dessert.
Thank you very much.
I would be very happy if a lot of young people could eat this, so please try it.
Could you tell us in detail why apples and other fruits are good for the body?
Fruits are rich in vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber.
They are good for the body and are good for the mind.
The goal is 200g, so it's two oranges and one apple.
I see.
Fruits are not only delicious, but also good for your health.
Do you have any dreams for the future for the fruit producer, Mitsui?
My dream is, as well as the field you helped me with earlier,
to become a fruit producer.
I want to keep the local products, as they are often taken away from the elderly due to natural disasters.
I hope that young people will be able to eat the local products, and that the local products will become more active in Japan.
I hope that people will smile when they eat the local products.
I want to create a good environment. I would like to create an environment where the producers will also smile.
If there is anything we can help as teenagers, we would like to help.
I think there are various things lined up in supermarkets, so if you hold it in your hand and imagine the story behind it, I think you'll be able to see various things.
Please enjoy it.
Thank you.
I'll do my best, too.
Thank you. There have been various natural disasters recently, what do you think about farming in Japan?
After all, our predecessors have grown crops that have been rooted in the land for a long time,
I think it's important for us to continue doing that, and to pass it on to our children in the future.
I hope we can pass on the baton to the future.
Today, I visited Mr. Mitsui's farm and ate a lot of apples made in Nagano Prefecture.
All the products are very delicious, and it would be sad if I couldn't eat these domestic apples.
I would like to continue to eat more and more domestic apples and connect them to the future.
Thank you very much for today.
Thank you very much, Hode-chan.
Thank you very much for your time.
We would like to spread the food consumed in Japan to other Nogizaka members in Japan.
Please search for Nogizaka46 Kokusho Kokusan.
Bye bye.
