上山田の9月は葡萄狩り♪ September in Kamiyamada Means Grape Picking!

September 1, 2013: 季節 Seasons

9月となりました。この上山田では、葡萄狩りの時期です。娘の美咲ちゃんに中島農園に連れてきました。亀清旅館のお客様に採りたての葡萄三種類(三色)をこの時期にデザートとして出しております。

葡萄狩りを体験すれば、
葡萄って何種類があるか、
どうやって栽培しているか、
畑は動物から守るのにどういう工夫しているか、
農家さんはどこまで手をかけているか、
葡萄畑の空気はどれだけ新鮮か、

色々と勉強になります。

是非、葡萄狩り@上山田はお勧めです。もし良かったら、葡萄農園へ一緒に行きますよ!

September has come along. Here in Kamiyamada, that means grape season!

I took our daughter Misaki to Nakajima Orchard to pick some grapes for our guests. This month, Kamesei Ryokan's dessert at dinner time is a plate of 3 varieties (3 colors) of fresh-picked grapes.

If you go grape picking, the experience gives you insights into a world you otherwise wouldn't know, such as:

How many varieties of grapes there are,
How farmers in Japan use to grow them,
The extensive techniques used to keep animals away,
How much labor the farmers here apply to growing the grapes,
How much cleaner the air is in a grape orchard

Come and experience grape picking yourself, here in Kamiyamada. I would be happy to take you to an orchard!
