A freethinking apple farm with JAS Organic Certification
We are passionate about providing our customers with new and delicious ways of enjoying apples while at the same time practicing environmentally friendly and sustainable farming. We have followed organic farming standards for apple cultivation since 2019, and obtained JAS (Japanese Agricultural Standards) Organic Certification in 2022.
加工専門だからこそ
見た目より中身を重視
わたしたちは、見た目の良い贈答用リンゴづくりは行わず、加工用に特化したリンゴ栽培という独自の経営スタイルを確立。見た目のために農薬を使う必要もなく、甘さだけが際立つリンゴを育てる必要もなく。自然で、健康的で、多彩なおいしさのリンゴを育てます。
Growing apples solely for processing allows us to focus on what’s inside them
At our farm, we cultivate apples specifically for processing, rather than growing apples which look nice to give as gifts. This frees us from having to use pesticides to ensure that our apples look perfect, and we don’t have to focus solely on sweetness. Instead, we grow apples which are natural, healthy and have a delicious range of flavors.
リンゴ品種の数は約50
個性ゆたかで賑やかな樹々
かつてこの農園に祖父が残してくれたリンゴ品種の多くは「ふじ」でした。しかし現在ではそのほかに受け継いだ「紅玉」「国光」「4-23」に加え、海外のサイダー用品種も増え、品種数は約50にものぼります。個性が賑やかなリンゴ農園へと日々成長しています。
Approximately 50 apple varieties makes for a lively mix of flavor profiles
A generation or so ago, our farm consisted mostly of Fuji apple trees, with a few other traditional varieties such as Kogyoku (Jonathan), Kokko (Ralls Janet) and 4-23. However, today we cultivate approximately 50 apple varieties in all, including many cider apple varieties acquired from overseas. This has helped us grow into a farm with a lively and eclectic assortment of apple flavors and types.
あえて早摘みした果実で
苦味も酸味もあるおいしさを追求
通常の一般的なリンゴジュースや国産シードルは、贈答用に栽培された完熟リンゴのB品でつくられるため、甘さだけが際立ちます。それに対してわたしたちはあえて完熟させずに早摘みし、リンゴの苦味や渋味などのニュアンスを感じられる多彩なおいしさを追求しています。
We harvest our apples early for more balanced and nuanced flavor
As a rule, apple juice and domestic cider are produced using B-grade apples from farms which grow fully-ripened apples produced for the gift market, so they tend to be very sweet. At our farm, we intentionally pick our apples before they are fully ripe, allowing us to obtain deliciously nuanced flavors which include pleasingly tart and bitter notes.
こどもたちに安心して
飲んでもらえるものを
ネオニコチノイド系農薬はミツバチを死滅させてしまうとも言われており、土壌や水質や生態系へのダメージが問題視されています。わたしたちは、そうした農薬を極力使用しない農業を実践しながら、健全な経営と安心の商品づくりを進めています。
We make safe and healthy juices you can feel good giving your children
Neonicotinoid insecticides have been implicated in bee decline, and are seen as damaging to our soil, water and ecosystems. We practice agriculture which limits pesticide use to the absolute minimum, something which is good for our business and helps us make safe and healthy products.
