Enjoy sweet and delicious persimmon picking in Oidaira, Hamamatsu

This time, I went to Adachi Kakien, a sunny village in Hamakita Ward, Hamamatsu City, to experience persimmon picking, which starts in November.

Oidaira, Hamakita Ward, Hamamatsu City, is one of the leading persimmon producing areas in Japan, and the road to our arrival was covered in orange persimmons, which was very beautiful.

Hamamatsu City has some of the highest sunshine hours in the country, and is said to have very good conditions for growing delicious persimmons.

This was Jenne’s first experience picking persimmons, as the only places in the city that allow persimmon picking are Adachi Kakien and Hamamatsu Fruit Park.

Let's go persimmon picking right away!

As soon as I checked in, I was handed a small basket. Inside is a small cutting board, knife, leisure sheet, and garbage bag.

I will head to the farm with the representative, Akira Adachi.

Jenne and her friends are overwhelmed by the number of persimmon trees.

“The bigger the persimmon, the tastier it is,” Adachi-san tells us.

I thought I would need scissors to pick persimmons, but to my surprise, I could easily pick them by holding a branch and spinning the persimmons around.

“There will be souvenirs on the way home, so please take as many as you can eat here,” says Adachi.

I took six pieces, thinking that each person could eat about three, and spread out the leisure sheet and sat down.

Yuuki Jenne takes a knife and peels the skin. Saya Jenne will eat the peeled persimmon.

“Hmm!! So sweet!”

The sugar content of persimmons is said to be 15%.

Persimmons are rich in nutrients such as vitamin C and dietary fiber, so much so that doctors say that when they turn red, they turn blue.

At Adachi Kakien, you can experience persimmon picking for 1,500 yen per adult, and the attraction is that it comes with a 1kg souvenir.

Persimmons brought home will last a long time if you store them in the crisper with the stems facing down.

Speaking of persimmons, Jiro persimmons! Only people in Hamamatsu have this image, and Jiro persimmons are actually a minor type of persimmon. As a result, there are many people who gift persimmons to people far away, and on the day the photo was taken, the parking lot was full of people coming to buy persimmons.

Please enjoy the taste of autumn, Hamamatsu’s delicious Ohira persimmons.

“Strawberry picking” at the fruit park where everyone from children to adults can play for the whole day.

Strawberries are a fruit with an adorable appearance, bright color, and sweet taste.

Which do you eat first, the top or the bottom?

Some people place emphasis on ease of eating and eat by holding the stem and starting with the thinner end, but since sugar accumulates in the thinner part at the bottom, strawberries start eating from the top and taste sweet and sour. It seems that many people enjoy the sweetest taste at the end.

Some people say, “Eating from the side will even out the sweetness,” and each person has their own preferences when it comes to how they eat it.

Today, we visited Hamamatsu Fruit Park Tokinosumi in Miyakodamachi, Kita Ward, Hamamatsu City, and talked about strawberry picking, which is especially popular among all the fruits.
