Grape ribbon

t is the status of the vineyards. The picture is the bud of the grape flower. It will take a while before the flowers bloom. However, at this stage, only the tip part is left, and unnecessary buds are picked up. This is an important task of creating bunches to concentrate nutrients and make one grape each bigger grape. And did you notice it? There will be only one small bud mass left at the root of the branch that should have been picked up beautifully.



Here, too. Pots and buds are far away.
I wonder if I forgot to pick it up. No, it is not so.
There is an important work called gibberellin treatment to eliminate grape seeds. I put chemicals in a soft cup-like container made of silicon, soak the cloths one by one, but this is a work that can not be expected if you do not do it several days before the flowers bloom. Since the flower day is slightly different depending on the tassel, it seems to take the bud of this mark from the tuft that gibberellin treatment finishes. Known as "ribbon". The grape farmer's ingenuity and hardships come to light. Just knowing this will increase the pleasure of peering into the grape shelf.



And the white tape wrapped in branches is a trace of attraction work. Fix the vines so that the tufts hang straight down. Because grapes are plants of ordinary, growing flower buds growing in all directions. I will set this up on the shelf well. A beautiful grape shelf in the fall of autumn can be done like this.
What I taught variously is "Misaka Farm Grape House".



Since meals and souvenirs are prepared even when fruit hunting is impossible, please drop in at the field.

Taste the treasure of the local town

Dewshan mountain temple is an old temple representing Yamanashi held as a Zen temple 688 years ago from now. There is no flashy, but the appearance and the garden where the Japanese can enjoy the favorite bubbly loneliness. It is a place where the heart is calm and calm just by walking in the precincts.
It is a proof that it is a temple that many people gathered and was hearted all the time in that this long history has been followed. Even now, a sitting posture is held on weekends. I have participated only once, but since it teaches from the work, it is okay even for the first person. If you make a reservation, anyone can experience it, so if you are interested please look at the homepage of Eniri Temple.



Speaking of a long time ago, the only thing that had not been loved by many people was traditional companies and famous shops called long-established stores. One of them is Yanagawa Co., Ltd. located in Tamba city, Hyogo prefecture. Founding was in the Meiji era 25 years. It seems that sweets made with Tanba's special products are famous, but the picture is "Chestnut Miso" out of "Okazu Miso" series that fits rice. The chestnuts from Tamba were firmly contained and I felt very luxurious, "I ate something delicious after a long time." It is also great for Japanese sake ate.
This gem can be bought at "Shingenba" in the side of Jirin-ji. Why, Yamanashi Tamba Chestnut? Whether it is because the owner of "Shingenkan" has partnered in love with the company attitude and taste of Nagawa that full of local love.



Tamba chestnut miso and black bean mash. Personally I am pretty happy to get in Yamanashi.
It is because there are good reasons for being loved for a long time.

Let's heal in early summer garden

On the sunny day the Kofu basin is like sunshine like midsummer. But this season when the air is dry is very pleasant as I am walking.
For the first time in a while to Katsunuma Town's "Herb Garden Travel Diary". I came to see the blooming condition of roses, but first I was deprived of the great dalia who greeted me at the entrance. It may be hard to understand in the photograph, but the flower size is too large in both palms. I have never seen such a big dahlia. There is elegance, there is a strong self-assertion, there is also a fickle feeling, a flower feels good like breasts when watching.







Besides, vitamin color poppy was in full bloom. As the wind blows, it shakes like a wavy undulating water surface, it is a fantastic beauty.
And French Lavender. Blue Salvia in the left side will have its best time to come.
At this time, there are overwhelmingly many tourists who come to see the rose garden, but other flowers are blooming in a healthy manner, so this time I tried spotting on that. Roses will also be on the next occasion.



And I found souvenirs which are interesting even at the shop. What a potato stuffing is all you can eat. Rose and lavender, and rosemary three kinds. It's okay to make cute sachets and give them as gifts, or put them in drawers, pillows etc for shoes and chest of drawers.
It is a wonderful souvenir unique to herb garden.

It is the cherry of love and gratitude that confined

After the rain, a clear May sunset. I could see the beautiful contrast of fresh green of grapes and blue sky. Today I visited Kathanuma's "Shirayuri brewery".



Yamanashi is a famous place of fruits. Cherries hunting starts in various places in the prefecture in June. This time I will remember the cherry wine. It is a lovely wine that locked the cherries of cherries in rosé wines. Because it is a limited time offering, some customers come to see this.







There is also a little surprise effect, so even if it is a present it will be pleased. Of course, because it is a wine that one of the best brewers in Yamanashi handles, the taste also comes with origami.
By the way, tomorrow is Mother 's Day. How about sending a cherry wine to your mother with a daily gratitude. Do not think that it is a nice sense, cute surprise.

Forest that strengthens the mind and body

It became a refreshing fresh green season. On the first day of a sunny consecutive holiday, I walked the Shosenge gorge valley road. I heard that forest bathing walking while leaving the sound of water in the sunbeams through the sun leaves not only makes me refreshed but also enhances my body's immunity. Forest bathing is effective in activating natural killer cells that protect our bodies from various viruses.
And there were various discoveries in this walking path showing the facial expression every season.





















It is a road along the valley, please do not merely look into the flow, please enjoy the scenery of the mountain side. I guess that is the point of having a fun walk. You can get a lot of energy if you see a plant growing root in a hollow of flowers or rocks that are blooming in blooming vegetation.





When I got tired and hungry, I went to Mr. Sugawara shop of Nagao Bridge. I wanted to enjoy the fragrance of freshly brewed soba and got a simple brew. It has a smooth throat, it is as good as a fresh green but it is a body-friendly lunch.
Now, let 's care for your mind and body with a fresh green forest.
