From the point that it is sweet like fruit in midi tomato. Large ball tomato is a loan word from the English word “tomato”, and according to Ekiken Kaibara（女大学（四書五経）: 和俗童子訓, 巻5の女子ニ教ユル法）’s “Yamato Honzo (published in 1709)”, it was introduced to Japan in 1708. The English word “tomato” comes from the indigenous Mexican Nahuatl word “tomatl,” which means “bulging fruit,” but “tomatl” seems to refer to the fruit of the blader cherry. In Mexico, “tomato” is called “xitimate” and “xitomatl”, and “xi” is said to mean “peeled” and “round”. When the Spanish, a country of passion, brought tomatoes (xitimate / xitomatl) back to Europe, they called them “tomate” from “tomatl” in Spanish. Although it was “tomate” in Portuguese, French, German, and early English, the Spanish word form has many words with “-o” at the end, and the nutritious “potato” that we love. It is said that it was drawn to the shape of “토마토” and changed to “tomato”.

If you drive about 30 minutes southwest of Fukue Port, you will reach Tomie Town, Goto City, which once flourished with coral. This town is a tomato producing area called “Goto Ruby Tomatoes”. Members of the Goto Ruby Study Group in their 20s and 40s are cultivating medium-sized tomatoes (30 g or more and less than 200 g). It is shipped mainly in the Kanto region, has a high reputation in the market, and has many consumers. This excellent agricultural product has a sugar content of 8 or more (about 5 degrees for ordinary tomatoes) and is characterized by its sweetness and freshness. Sweet and delicious Midi tomatoes with low acidity and high sugar content seem to be cultivated mainly in Tomie Town, Goto City. The shipping time is usually from the end of September to the beginning of June of the following year, and it seems to be almost all year round except for the hot summer season. A new product with a brilliant crimson color and shipped as “Goto Ruby Tomato”. We make every effort to provide consumers with the true taste of ripe tomatoes.
It is very sweet with an average of 7 degrees or more in the season compared to 4 or 5 degrees in ordinary tomatoes, and the fruit is classified as a medium-sized tomato (30 g or more and less than 200 g), which is about twice as large as cherry tomatoes.

In 2003, we started branding medium-sized tomatoes with a diameter of about 4 cm, and developed them under the name of “Goto Ruby Tomatoes.” The fruity sweetness comes from thorough water management, and only those that meet the standards are shipped as Goto Ruby. Shipments usually begin around autumn, and the sugar content is higher in the winter, and the season from November to March is particularly delicious with a good balance of sourness and flavor. It’s something that shines like a ruby jewel. Frutica tomato seems to have less cracking even in spring and autumn when the temperature difference between day and night is large due to the characteristics of elastic flesh. Also, according to farmers, it can be cultivated in all seasons. The grass vigor is rather strong in the early stages, so care must be taken not to cause overgrowth and abnormal main stems. However, it seems that additional fertilization is necessary early in the four-stage flowering when the burden of fruiting begins to be applied and the grass vigor tends to decline in winter. I have heard that the ripening stage is Wase and the leaves are medium-large leaves.
With daily research being valued, all of the farmers apply diligent application, and Goto Ruby Tomatoes are generally evaluated for their taste and quality, and there are many fans who look forward to them every year. This is because the reduction of pesticides is the first priority for stable supply, and more time and effort are put into improving and devising manure management.
