愛情付きの川中島桃 Kawanakajima Peaches, Grown with Love

August 8, 2010: 季節 Seasons

Grown with these hands.

このおじさんが親戚の北山さんです。長野市の川中島地区で農家さんです。川中島と言えば、桃が一番有名です。そして、今はちょうど桃のピークです。今年は北山さんが自分で育った桃をまた亀清旅館に持ってきてくれました。そのジューシーで美味しい事!北山さんと交渉しましたので我が宿の売店様で数カートンを持って来てくれました。この夏休みで、県外からのお客様が多いです。ジューシーで美味しい桃をお土産で買えて、喜んで頂いております。信州の旬のプレゼントになります。

(北山さんの育った桃は種類によりますが、3kgパックで1,000円~1,500円になります。)

This fella is Kitayama-san, a distant relative of ours. He hails from the Kawanakajima district of Nagano City, where he and his wife operate a fruit orchard. Around here, Kawanakajima is known for peaches, and right now is peak peach season. Kitayama-san brought a bunch of his peaches for us to eat. They were so juicy and delicious! We talked him into supplying us with a few boxes of peaches to offer for sale to our guests. With this being summer vacation time, we have a lot of guests visiting from Tokyo and other prefectures. The peaches have been a hit with the guests, many of whom have been looking for just the perfect seasonal "Nagano" gift to take back to their friends and family.

(3kg boxes of fresh Kawanakajima peaches are 1,000 ~ 1,500 yen depending on the variety.)



Mmmm! Juicy!
