【名前の由来】
The name of the variety that appeared in 1964 from Takii seedlings. The strains of this ‘Ebisu Squash’ include ‘Hokkori Ebisu Squash’ and ‘Kuri Ebisu Squash’. Unfortunately, it is unclear why the cultivar was named “Ebisu Squash”. Ebisu is a Japanese god of business prosperity and one of the Seven Lucky Gods. It is a divine spirit that is widely accepted in folk beliefs as a deity that protects one’s livelihood and brings good fortune.

The roadside station in Assabu town in southern Hokkaido reopened after renovation on August 20, 2022, and it seems that many people are visiting from the morning. Michi-no-Eki Assabu, which reopened in the morning after renovation, has roughly doubled its site area, and restaurants and other establishments where you can enjoy dishes unique to the local area open in the morning. Pumpkin, which is also a representative of green and yellow vegetables, from the Assabu Town Agricultural Leaders Development Measures Council. In Assabu Town, varieties such as “Hokkori Urara Squash” and “Ebisu Squash” are cultivated. These pumpkins have an elegant sweetness, and when boiled, they become fluffy and fluffy. In addition, from 2016, a premium pumpkin “Sagara Maron” (Hokkaido Agricultural Administration Office), which is said to be difficult to grow in cold climates at Sagara Farm, has been produced from the prototype stage. Over the years, they have cultivated a “premium pumpkin that is both fluffy and sweet = Sagara marron Squash”, and have expanded their sales channels to major supermarkets in the Kanto and Kansai regions in Japan and to department stores in Hong Kong overseas began with a trial production in 2015, and went into full swing in 2016 with the launch of “Assabu Farmer (7 farms)”, and from 2017, 11 farms will plant about 20 ha. In 2018, trial exports began. After curing, the trial exports were sold four times at department stores in Hong Kong, etc. As for exports, efforts are being made to expand export sales channels for Hokkaido-produced foods. According to the General Incorporated Foundation Hokkaido Food Development and Distribution Center, “In Hong Kong, the demand for pumpkins is high, especially during the Lunar New Year (February 4 to 10 in 2019) as a lucky charm. If there is a supply of high-quality Japanese pumpkins in Japan, we can sell them at a high price.” With that as an opportunity, we have set up a system for storage and storage, and have been working on demonstration experiments aimed at stable supply throughout the year. In the future, we will increase the number of pumpkin farmers, improve cultivation techniques, and promote the GGAP (a compass for agricultural producers to practice safe and sustainable agriculture and contribute to the local economy) in order to form a global production center and as a means of ensuring reliability and transparency for business partners and consumers by guaranteeing traceability), aiming to deliver high-quality pumpkins from Assabu Town to overseas markets throughout the year. Sagara Marron Pumpkin is said to have been named by Sagara’s father so that he could not make excuses for the quality of the agricultural products he produced. It matches the climate of Assabu Town, which is relatively warm in Hokkaido, and is currently a premium. It seems to be gaining popularity as a pumpkin) is cultivated in earnest. Currently, we are expanding our sales channels to overseas, including Kanto and Kansai. Takii Seed Co., Ltd. seems to have worked on F1 to break the current situation in order to improve adaptability to new cropping styles and yield. It seems that he collected many indigenous Western species that exist all over the country and found an excellent combination. As a result, in 1962, he succeeded in breeding an excellent hybrid of Western-type squash that was well adapted to early harvest. As a result of trial production over the three years since then, “Hoko” (also known as “Tokyo pumpkin”) has a slightly greyish green skin, and is powdery and sweet Western pumpkin. It is a valuable variety that can be produced. Oriental pumpkin is a variety that was introduced to Japan in the early Edo period, and is characterized by its low sweetness and sticky and soft flesh. After that, Western pumpkin was introduced at the end of the Edo period. It has a sweet taste. The excellent, fluffy and floury western variety came to be preferred with the westernization of eating habits and changes in taste, and seems to have spread rapidly since the 1965s.) In 1964, the current Takii hybrid (Nagaoka hybrid at that time), “Ebisu Pumpkin,” was announced. In the year it was announced, the results of a trial production in early-ripening cultivation in the Kanto region were good, and the full-scale introduction was carried out the following year. A high-yielding variety with excellent fruit setting and fattening properties. The fruit weight is about 1.7-1.9 kg, and the fruit shape is oblate ball. The pericarp is dark green and mottled. The flesh is dark yellow and thick, the flesh is slightly sticky and has a good taste. It seems to be able to adapt to a wide range of environments and enable stable production. It seems that the harvest period will be reached in 45 to 50 days after mating. Terada Farm is located next to the Kimanai Fureai Center. Master Koei OTANI (1872-1923: Higashi Honganji Sapporo Betsu-in is located in the center of Sapporo. The main hall is now located on a large site near the Higashi Honganji stop of the streetcar.) The main gate of a Buddhist temple was completed in September 1914. The history of this temple dates back to 1870, when he was 19 years old. In July 1870, it was established as Higashi Honganji Kansetsuji Temple and later renamed Sapporo Betsuin in 1976. It seems that 40 tenant farmers from the Etchu, Noto, and Omi regions were brought in in 1945 and managed as Otani Farm. The farm was purchased in 1919 by Otaru’s Seiki TERADA (1857-1942: educator, businessman, politician. Member of the House of Representatives, president of Otaru Cargo and Fire Insurance Co., Ltd., president of Fukoku Fire and Marine Insurance Co., etc.). and became Terada Farm. Old man invested a huge amount of money to build irrigation ditches and cultivate paddy fields. In 1928, due to the requests of the tenant farmers, negotiations were held to open up the land, and in 1930, due to the goodwill of Terada, over 500 hectares of farmland was opened to 49 tenant farmers. In July 1934, a person who was grateful for his goodwill built a monument in a corner of the open land, praising the old man of Terada as “the true ninth generation teacher.” This monument was erected in July 1934 by the local residents who were impressed by the old man’s generous treatment to honor his achievements. The calligraphy of the title is Shinichi SAGAMI (1882-1943: Home Affairs bureaucrat. He held important posts such as Governor of Okayama Prefecture, Governor of Nagasaki Prefecture, and Governor of Kyoto Prefecture). The May Queen potato has a slender oval shape that is different from the rugged Baron potato. In 1925, May Queen potatoes were first made on a trial basis at the Hokkaido Government Hiyama Agricultural Experiment Station in Assabu Town. Since then, Assabu’s May Queen has been established as the brand it is today, thanks to the cultivation instructor’s efforts to improve breeding and strict fertilization management. In 1976, a monument was erected on the premises of the Assabu Agricultural Cooperative to commemorate the great achievement of the leader. This excellent produce is characterized by shallow corns (the pits where germination takes place), long stems, sometimes slightly curved potatoes, and yellow, sticky flesh. The flowers are pale purple and large with white petal tips. Not only is this cultivar vulnerable to pests and diseases, but it is also difficult to mechanize the cutting and harvesting process due to its long shape. In addition, if soiling is not done well, the potato skin tends to turn green, and the shape of the potato tends to collapse, which makes it difficult for farmers to grow. It is the most popular potato for eating raw these days. It tends to become sweeter when stored at a low temperature, becomes more viscous as it is stored, and does not crumble when cooked. Also, it was introduced to Japan around 1917. It is elliptical and slender, and as its name suggests, it is vulnerable to pests and diseases, and is easily affected by natural conditions, so it seems that it was cultivated only in specific areas. It seems that the Hiyama Agricultural Experiment Station, which was built in 1910 at the current Assabu Community Center, was the place that worked on this delicate variety as a special product. It must have been in the climate and topography of Assabu Town, which is the northern limit of Asunaro cypress and the southern limit of Todomatsu. JA Shin Hakodate held the 20th Ordinary General Assembly at the City General Cultural Center Kanaderu on April 13, 2022, and merged with JA Kitahiyama (Setana Town, Kudo District) on February 1, 2023. The bill to be submitted is accepted as originally proposed. On the same day, JA Kitahiyama also held a regular general meeting and seems to have approved the merger. I heard that the JA merger in Southern Hokkaido is the first since the current JA Shin-Hakodate, which was launched by the merger of 13JA in February 2002. The surviving union will be JA Shin Hakodate, and the head office will remain the same in Hokuto City. JA plans to reform the structure in conjunction with the merger. As the amount of vegetables sold nationwide has been favorable, the supply-demand balance has been disrupted and the market is in a difficult situation. The sales transaction amount was about 29 billion yen, and unfortunately it seems that it did not reach 30 billion yen for 7 consecutive years. In addition, regarding the merger with JA Kitahiyama, the current union leader said, “By making the range of Setana Town the same as the area of JA, the cooperation between the administration and JA will be further deepened and regional agriculture will be activated. We will strengthen the JA base and protect local farming and livelihoods in the future.” A town filled with one of the best “delicious” in Hokkaido. Mori Town is a city of food. Surrounded by Mt. Komagatake and Uchiura Bay, there are many abundant seafood and mountain food. Known as a cultural and historical exchange point from ancient times, the stone circle of the Jomon era, which is one of the largest in Japan, and the place where Takeaki Enomoto and Toshizo Hijikata landed at the end of the Edo period and during the Battle of Hakodate, was the cornerstone of Hokkaido development. There are many valuable historical sites such as the site of the sea road pier, and more than 1,000 cherry blossoms are in full bloom as a famous place for cherry blossoms, so you can feel the food, cherry blossoms, and history up close. The reason why the hometown tax payment became a boom is that the tax system revision in 2015 raised the maximum deduction amount from 10% to 20% of the personal residence tax income percent, and the market size doubled. Since the total amount of personal residence tax is about 12 trillion yen, 2.4 trillion yen is set as the ceiling of the market. Mori Town, which has long been called Oniushi (a place with many trees) in the Ainu language, is known as a fishing ground and has been a place where fishermen around Hakodate came to work in search of herring and other fish since the early Edo period. In 1738, Washinoki became the main village and a village was formed. In 1800, the population of six places in Hakodate gradually increased, so the Shogunate decided that this was Wajinchi, abolished the place system, and allowed the independence of each village. In 1858, the Shogunate promoted the central village of six places in Hakodate to “village”, so Washinoki became officially Washinoki Village for the first time. Independence was permitted, and Mori Village and Oshironai Village were established in December of the same year. In the Meiji era, when the pioneer messenger was set up in Hokkaido, the local branch office was set up in Morimura. In 1880, the Washinoki Village Kocho Office, which controls the three villages of Washinoki, Oshironai, and Ishikura, opened, and in 1881, the Outside the village Two Village Tocho Office, which controls the three villages of Mori, Oshironai, and Shukunobe, opened. In the same year, the two government offices merged to form the five villages of Outside the village, and the six villages now have one office. In 1902, these six villages merged to form Mori Village, and in 1907, the first-class town and village system was enforced, and in 1921, the fourth town system in the jurisdiction was enforced and “Morimachi” was born. Even in the Showa era, the development of each industry centered on the fishing industry continued. In 1961, most of the city area was burned down by the Morimachi Great Fire, but the city planning development, Komagatake mountain foot development project, and Nigorikawa River geothermal development continued to make steady progress, and the 3rd Morimachi Comprehensive Development Promotion Plan started in 1998. The town was closed in April of the year after the merger with Sawara Town. In Sawara; Sarakiushi Town, which faces the eruption bay, a sea that carries abundant happiness, kelp was collected in the 1330s, and Japanese people began to visit through herring in the 1500s. It is reported that Shiro moved and opened the village and formed a village. In the Meiji era, the number of fishermen increased with the abolition of the place contract system, and the Sawara Village Kocho Office was established in 1880 as the number of settlers increased. In April 1906, due to the merger of two villages, Sawara Village and Kakarima Village, the second-class town and village system was enforced in Sawara Village, and a new history began. In the Showa period, Komagatake erupted in 1929, and the damage caused by pumice flow and ash fall was minor, but in 1931, heavy rain caused debris flow in houses, roads, railways, etc. Caused damage. The ash fall on the eruption bay filled the kelp reef, and the impact of seawater pollution on the fishing industry seems to have left a great deal of damage to Sawara Town, whose core industry is fishing. Nevertheless, people were strongly supported by nationwide relief activities under deep love for their hometown, and were able to stand up from the disaster. In 1970, Sawara Village, which showed remarkable development, entered a new era and the town administration was enforced. With the enforcement of the town system, the new government office building was completed. We are steadily promoting town development through the development of elementary and junior high schools, public housing and fishery processing complexes. In the era of modernization in the Heisei era, it seems that Sunahara has been working on town planning for a comfortable and comfortable life. In 1992, the “Flower-filled Campaign” started by the Sawara Town Town Development Promotion Council, and the third Sawara Town Comprehensive Plan started in 2001, and closed in April 2005 when it merged with Mori Town. Based on the history cultivated through the many efforts and efforts of both towns, we are trying to make a big leap toward becoming a “Lively and refreshing Town” that values heart and contact. Morimachi, which is located around Uchiura Bay and Hidemine Komagatake in southern Hokkaido, has agriculture, fisheries, and fish processing as its core industries. It is known as a warm town with little snowfall, with an average annual temperature of 7-8 ° C, which rarely exceeds 30 ° C even in midsummer and rarely drops to -15 ° C even in midwinter. The volcanic ash land that spreads out at the foot of Mt. Komagatake has been reborn as a fruitful land by land improvement, and is blessed with a warm climate and nature, and it is famous that it has become established as a major supply of winter vegetables in Hokkaido. In particular, squash is a special product, and the cultivar “Miyako squash”, which has a good reputation for both taste and quality, has a chestnut-like texture and high sugar content, and is shipped to the Tokyo metropolitan area. Cultivated varieties such as Miyako squash, Kuri Shogun, squash and Kuririn squash. In the Nigorigawa area, where the geothermal power plant is located, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. are cultivated in a house using hot spring geothermal water throughout the year, playing a role in supplying winter vegetables with stable quality and harvest. In addition, it also produces rice and healthy fruit trees such as prunes, flowers, and buckwheat tea, and produces and processes a large number of products. The specialty melon Rupia Red melon is made in various parts of Hokkaido, and has a “regional brand” in every production area. It is called as a general term for high-quality melons, and Mori Town’s “Rupia Red melon” accounts for most of the melons produced in Southern Hokkaido. Is produced on the abundant plateau of Mt. Komagatake. Rupier Red melonis a net-type melon with a beautiful fine mesh on the surface, the skin is thin and the flesh is orange and thick, the flesh is high in sugar content and very juicy, and the flesh is firm and chewy before ripening. However, when it ripens, it becomes soft enough to loosen in the mouth. JA Shin-Hakodate has both red meat and blue meat melons planted in the jurisdiction. Among them, the red meat brand melon “Saburi Melon”, which has cleared strict standards such as sugar content and shape of 15 degrees or more and net tension, is an excellent dish. Of the “Rupia Red melon” from Morimachi, which accounts for most of the melons from Southern Hokkaido, and the “Red 113” from Assabu Town, JA has a sweetness of 15 degrees or more in sugar content and a beautiful stitch weighing 1.9 kg or more. New Hakodate certified brand melon. The brand name is a combination of “Sabu” from Assabu and “Ri” from Mori. Shipments are from June to late September, with the first half being from Mori and the second half being from Assabu, which is also characterized by a long production period. The specialty tomatoes and cucumbers have been cultivated for a long period of time, including forcing cultivation, semi-forcing cultivation, summer-autumn cultivation, and seasonal cultivation. Is receiving. Mori Port is located in the central part of the eastern part of the Oshima Peninsula and in the southern part of Uchiura Bay, and has developed as a good natural port blessed with marine resources for a long time. In 1953, it was designated as a regional port, and since then it has been used as the only regional port in Uchiura Bay. Regarding the cargo handled, volcanic ash, sand, etc. produced in this town and neighboring towns are shipped far to Honshu as construction materials, and are positioned as a base port. In addition, it is a base port for fishing boat fishing such as gillnet and set net fishing, and in recent years, the fishing industry has been changed from catching fishery to growing fishery, and the scallop aquaculture industry is progressing year by year. Along with this, the number of aquaculture fishing vessels has increased remarkably and the size of the fishing vessels has increased significantly, and the narrowing of port facilities has become an issue. In order to solve these problems, we are aiming to promote the development of port facilities and develop the fishery industry, which is the core industry of the town proceeding. Morimachi Sakura Festival: The traditional festival since 1950 is a two-week event during the peak of cherry blossoms. In addition to the main event Kayo show, various participatory events will be held at Aobagaoka Park as the main venue. Also, during the period, a Bamba tournament will be held at the livestock co-promotion venue. Members of the Mori Town Tourism Volunteer Guide will be resident during the event, and will kindly teach you about the cherry blossoms in Mori Town. Sakura hot water is also served free of charge. Kayabe District in the Oshima area in southern Hokkaido included the current part of Hakodate City when the administrative division was established in 1879, but now there are two towns, Shikabe Town and Mori Town. In the Kayabe area of the former Oshima province, the Matsumae clan opened six places in Hakodate (a place where vassals trade with the indigenous Ainu) during the Edo period, and the territory of the Matsumae clan repeated tenryo. However, in the first year of the Meiji era, it became Kayabe (derived from the Ainu word “Yaunbesh”). In Shikabe town, the Ainu word “Shikerupe (where Kihada is located)” is derived from the town name, and at one point, many wild hawks called it “Takamachi” and the hawk was a gift to the Tokugawa Shogunate. That’s it. Known for its many sources, ShiKabe hot spring and golf courses, year-round eels, eels, atka mackerel, cherry trout, sea bream, kelp and winter sardines (for cod roe), scallops, released salmon, and aquaculture are landed from three large and small fishing ports. Atka mackerel is a specialty. Mori Town is a mountainous area on three sides, including Komagatake in the eastern part of the town, and faces Uchiura Bay (eruption bay) in the north. Seafood from multiple fishing ports, capital pumpkins, blueberries, prunes, etc. are special products, and the station lunch “Ikameshi rice”, which was once sold at JR Mori Station, is known for demonstration sales such as product exhibitions nationwide, and is a long-established store in the county. There are still food stores.
Ebisu pumpkin has a slightly viscous impression. The flesh is dark yellow and seems to be quite thick. The average weight per fruit is 100-200 g heavier than “Hoko Aokawa Amakuri Pumpkin”, but the flesh is thicker. The fruit shape is a little more sleek compared to the excellent pumpkin we mentioned earlier. I have heard that the color and shape of the pericarp shows beautiful pale green flecks on a fresh dark green background with a hint of black, making it easy to distinguish from other varieties at a glance.
In fiscal 2013, JA Shin-Hakodate experienced a decline in its ability to produce agricultural and livestock products due to a decrease in farmland, an aging farmer, and a shortage of workers. There was concern about degeneration. Stagnation and decline in the production of basic crops were also seen in each region, making it difficult to maintain production areas. Based on these circumstances, in order to firmly maintain sustainable regional agriculture, we are conducting a “membership survey”, sorting out the problems and issues that the region has, and formulating the 3rd Regional Agriculture Promotion Plan. In 2015, 70% to 80% of the green onion shipment was shipped outside of Hokkaido. We are currently investigating.
Hekiketsu Monument (Monument): Built in August 1919 by Tomojiro Kakizaki, a former feudal retainer of the Matsumae Clan, on the old battlefield of Inakuraishi to commemorate the war dead of the Matsumae Clan. The founder, Kakizaki, was an ‘agricultural engineer’ from the Hokkaido government, and apparently visited the Assabu area to give agricultural guidance. The title and epitaph are Tsuyoshi Tsuchiko of Hakodate (1876-1936: Born as a surviving warrior of the Aizu Byakkotai, the eldest son of Sadakuni Tsuchikohyoemon, a master of the Hozoin-ryu spearmanship. From Yayoi Elementary School to Utsunomiya Junior High School in Tochigi Prefecture. , Studied Russian language at Tokyo Foreign Language School, then went on to ‘Keio Gijuku’, where he studied finance under Yukichi Fukuzawa. After graduating, his classmate entered the business world, but he was a junior high school teacher, an English teacher, and then Otaru and Hakodate Maritime Bureau, spent several years of his youth working as a government official, but retired in 1907.). It was originally installed at the current construction site of the Quail Dam, but was relocated to its current location along with the construction of the dam. The site where the current dam is built is an old battlefield where the Matsumae clan and the former shogunate army fought in 1868. Today, the quail（uzura）dam is submerged at the bottom of the lake and watches over the area from a deep waterway.
