The shipment of Hirosaki brand corn "Takemi" started in earnest on August 8.

Mt.Takemi is a corn harvested in the plateau/Take (only) area of Mt. Iwaki, which is called Tsugaru Fuji, at an altitude of 450 to 600 meters, and it grows in a severe environment where the temperature difference between day and night is 10°C or more. In recent years, it has been attracting attention because it was introduced on TV and online as "to eat raw" and "sweeter than melon."

The harvest time for Mt. Kaki is from early August to mid-September. During the season, stalls selling bamboo shoots are lined up along the roads in the Taketa district. Locally known as the "Tatakemi road", there is also the possibility of congestion of the Takemimi purchasers called "Tatakemi traffic jam".

"Norizu" (TEL 080-1836-5878), a specialty store for bamboo shoots that opened in Watoku-cho on the same day as shipments began in earnest, has 200 picked morning pickles for a limited time until September 19 To sell. Mr. Norikazu Akaishi, who started three years ago, said, “Because there are some elderly people who do not have the means to go to the Ukebu district, I wanted to deliver the freshly picked Umitake,” the reason for opening the store.

Mr. Akaishi said, “Takeshimi's taste changes depending on the season. Early-eared Takeshimi's taste is fresh and easy to eat. The taste becomes sweeter in the late night, but some people dislike it because it is too sweet. You're well done, and I'm looking forward to it personally."
