今年の初巨峰♪ First Grapes of the Season

August 27, 2013: 季節 Seasons

Tobita-san proudly showing off his grapes

上山田農家「クラウン農園」の飛田さんが顔を出してくれた。顔と葡萄を出してくれた。巨峰がもう、出始まりました。普段は9月に入ってからですが、今年は夏に晴れの日が多かったから早く出始まりました。

飛田さんから葡萄を頂いて、私はあまりにも嬉しくてその場で一房を食べてしまいました。その新鮮で美味しい事!

毎年のこの時期の楽しみ: 採りたての葡萄。大体9月末までは葡萄狩りも出来るし、お土産で買って帰るのも出来るし、郵送・通販販売も可能です。お問い合わせをどうぞ。

One of our local orchardists, Tobita-san from Crown Farm, paid us a visit. He brought some 'kyohou' grapes, the big purple grapes that are a specialty of Nagano. Normally the grape season starts in September, but with this year's hot summer the fruit has started to mature early.

When Tobita-san dropped off the grapes, I was so excited I sat down and ate one whole bunch all by myself. Wow, were they good! Fresh and sweet!

So come to Kamiyamada and enjoy picking and eating fresh grapes while staying for a soak in our onsen. The season should run through the end of September.
