[17th] No beach, the sale of beach grapes has started!

　I went to the Nakayama Ekimae Pear Direct Sales Office (August 18), which started selling on Monday, August 16, and the Kita hassaku Agricultural Products Direct Sales Office (August 25).
At each direct sales place, a lot of customers were lined up long before the sales start time, and I was surprised again at its popularity. This year, the event was held while taking measures against infectious diseases, such as limiting the number of customers entering the sales floor to one person to avoid crowds and asking customers to disinfect alcohol.
　At the Nakayama Ekimae Pear Direct Sales Office, we asked the Oyama Fruit Tree Association that this year the rainy season started before Hamana Shiga matured, and sufficient sunshine hours were available, so we had a good harvest and better than usual. On this day, two types were sold: Hosui, where you can enjoy both sweetness and acidity, and Kosui, which is rich and sweet.
　In addition, at the Kita hassaku Agricultural Products Direct Sales Office, in addition to "Hosui", "Kikusui" and "Akizuki", Hama grape "Fuji Minori" was sold. According to the Kita hassaku Agricultural Products Direct Sales Association, "Fuji Minoru" is characterized by its large grains, high sugar content, and low acidity and astringency.
There was no ripe beach, looking forward to the beach grapes, and the happy appearance of the customers waiting in line was impressive. I was worth the line up, and I was able to purchase "Hosui" at both direct sales outlets.
　Everyone, please enjoy the fresh and fresh beach, beach grapes!
