The Buddha's disciple (one of the sixteen Arhats), Shuri Handoku Chula Pantaka, was very poorly remembered and sometimes even forgot his name. So I wrote my name and hung it around my neck. After his death, grass grew in the graveyard, so he named it 名荷; 茗荷.
【主な特徴】
JA Tosa Kuroshio is located in the Midwestern part of Kochi Prefecture, and consists of Susaki City and Nakatosa Town facing Tosa Bay, and Tsuno Town in the mountainous area. With an average temperature of around 16.5 ° C and a warm climate with long hours of sunshine in winter, institutional horticulture and early rice cultivation are popular. Cucumbers have been cultivated for a long time, mainly in Susaki City, but recently, the cultivation of Japanese ginger has become the mainstay, and it seems that it is the main production area that boasts the highest sales in Japan. Although the agricultural working population is declining, the income per farmer is increasing and it seems that it boasts the highest productivity in the prefecture. With the introduction of systems that control temperature and humidity and carbon dioxide, and the evolution of cultivation techniques, it seems that they are aiming for sustainable and well-earned agriculture. Japanese ginger is produced throughout the year, and Kochi Prefecture's greenhouse japanese ginger is the largest producer in Japan. It seems that the JA accounts for 60% of them. To prevent continuous cropping obstacles, instead of cultivating soil, "coconut (a palm tree that bears coconut fruits. Coconuts that grow naturally in tropical regions grow to 10 meters or more, and if they are large, they can reach 30 meters)." The mainstream is hydroponic cultivation using coconut, and it is good at the technique of controlling the amount of sunlight to finish it in a beautiful pink color. After cultivation and harvesting, each producer cleans and sorts them, puts them on a black tray, brings them to the shipping site, inspects and packages them, and then ships them. Kochi Prefecture's Japanese ginger boasts the highest production in Japan, and in June, when the season for Japanese ginger is approaching, from the time of “1 (ii; good) 3 (myoga)”, June 13 is changed to “Good myoga Day”. From June to August 31（2021）, when shipments will increase, a campaign will be held to promote sales centered on mass retailers. During the campaign period, use 3 application tickets affixed to the Japanese ginger pack (50 g) purchased at mass retailers inside and outside the prefecture as one unit, and apply on a postcard or the application website. Taking this opportunity, 500 people will win 5,000 yen in cash by lottery. Above all, the beautiful red color of “Myoga” adds color to the dishes and makes them appetizing. They tend to be eaten raw, such as condiments and pickles. In addition, the color of meat rolls, fried summer vegetables, tempura, etc. changes when heat is applied, but you can enjoy a more juicy and different taste and texture. “Susaki City” is located 37 km west of Kochi City, 133 degrees 17 minutes east longitude, 33 degrees 24 minutes north latitude, almost in the center of Kochi Prefecture, 25 km east-west, 13 km north-south, and has a total area of 135.35 km2. Tosa City to the east, Tsuno Town to the west, Sakawa Town to the north, and Nakatosa Town to the south are bordered by mountains, and the south faces Tosa Bay. There are many mountains in general, but fertile agricultural land is open in the basins such as the Shinjo River, Mitarai River, Sakura River, and Okuura River. An urban area is created around the mouth of Susaki Bay, and Toshima, Kamishima, and Nakanoshima are scattered outside the bay, embracing Nomi Bay, and in the eastern part there is a scenic Yokonami Sanri cove. The southern coast is the Pacific Ocean, which is washed with cliffs on the ria coast, and the Shikoku Mountains carry the Shikoku Mountains on its back to block the cold north wind, and the south faces the Pacific Ocean where the Kuroshio Current flows, so it is extremely warm and the four seasons are well harmonized. In winter, the northwest monsoon is strong, but there is very little snowfall. Rainfall belongs to the highest part of the country, and it is hot and humid and suitable for growing crops. Almost in the middle of southern Kochi, the Pacific Ocean spreads out in the south. The Mt. Bandagamori forest at an altitude of 769 m rises on the northern border, and the Shinjo River, which flows through the town, is the last place in Japan where Japanese river otters were confirmed. The number of fish species inhabiting the river is the third largest in Japan. In terms of area, it is about one-fifth the size of Lake Biwa. It seems that there is almost no urbanity, but in a land blessed with a natural environment, the air and water are clean and delicious, and you can enjoy hiking in the mountains, fishing for blackfish and grunt on the shore, and playing in the water and ayu fishing on the river. In addition, since the city has a fishing port, the freshness of the fish is outstanding, and the taste of the vegetables lined up in the morning market is exceptional. October 1954 Susaki City was born by merging the five towns and villages of Susaki Town, Onogo Village, Aso Village, Kamibun Village, and Uranouchi Village. Agriculture is mainly based on institutional horticulture, open-field vegetables and citrus fruits that make use of warm natural conditions and cultivation techniques, and is managed in combination with paddy rice. According to the 2010 World Agriculture and Forestry Census, the total number of farm households is 1,234 and the area of cultivated land is 462 ha. Most of the distribution of agricultural products is systematic shipment to agricultural cooperatives, and the main items are ginger, cucumber, shishito pepper, and flowers. Among them, it is a well-known fact that “myoga” cultivation has the highest sales value in Japan and has a high market evaluation both inside and outside the prefecture as a major production area. Agricultural promotion measures: We are promoting the development of land infrastructure and agricultural modernization facilities, aiming for advanced utilization and labor saving of agricultural land, and rationalization and modernization of agricultural management. In addition, efforts are being made to stabilize the farmer's economy and foster agricultural successors through complex management. The forest area is 10,190 ha, of which 9,701 ha is privately owned and 489 ha is nationally owned. In addition, the area of artificial forests in private forests is 4,702 ha, and the ratio of artificial forests is about 48%, so it is said that excellent artificial forests are being formed. Forest maintenance through appropriate thinning and childcare of these forests is an important issue, but forestry production activities are generally stagnant due to deterioration of the profitability of the forestry, and thinning and childcare are not properly implemented, and water source recharge. I have heard that there are forests that cannot fully demonstrate their functions and national land conservation functions. Under these circumstances, the environment is given to forest owners in order to actively implement forest maintenance such as thinning and childcare, review the operation of only single-storied forests, and promote the maintenance and creation of diverse forest resources suitable for the region. It is said that it is trying to raise awareness of management in consideration of. Furthermore, I hear that the establishment of work roads and the thinning of income are spreading, centered on forestry associations and ambitious foresters. There are two fishing areas: Kochi Prefectural Fisheries Cooperative Fukaura Branch in Uranouchi Bay, Otani in Nomi Bay, Nishikiura in Nomi Fisheries Cooperative and Susaki Bay, Susaki Fishing, Susaki Town Fisheries Cooperative, Kochi Prefectural Fisheries Cooperative Kutsu Branch facing the Pacific Ocean, and Ikenoura Branch. It seems that it can be roughly divided into. Uranouchi Bay, Nomi Bay: The fishing ground environment has deteriorated due to aquaculture and village drainage over the years, and it seems that efforts are being made to improve the sediment and bait to improve the environment. Nomi Bay: The fishing ground environment monitoring system was completed in 2001, and a system has been set up to obtain sea state information such as water quality and temperature through the cable TV network and the Internet, and it seems that efforts are being made to reduce the cost and improve the quality of farmed fish's. In addition, as consumers are becoming more interested in the “food safety” of farmed fish, traders are responding to the branding of farmed fish and traceability of breeding so that they can provide safe and secure farmed fish to meet their needs. Is being actively promoted. On the other hand, the coasts of Susaki Bay and Tosa Bay: Various types of fisheries such as flatfish nets, set nets, gill nets, fishing longline fisheries, and submersible fisheries are operated by each fishery cooperative, and it is highly productive and resource management is relatively easy. In order to promote efforts in coastal fishing, we continue to carry out intermediate breeding and release of seedlings such as flatfish, sea bream, shrimp, stonefish, crab, and abalone. In the environment surrounding the fishery industry in recent years, beach prices have been sluggish, and even if the catch increases, the catch does not rise. The city's fishery industry is said to play an important role in supporting the rich and healthy food culture of the local area and neighboring areas. In recent years, it seems that the commercial area is expanding with the opening of large stores along national roads and in the Kirima district land lot development area. In the conventional urban shopping district, the number of shoppers is decreasing due to the congestion of houses and the delay in the development of the shopping district, but on Odaishi-dori (the street from Nishi Town to Naka Town), in addition to the usual business every Saturday, The shopping district is returning to life with special menus and hospitality such as tea. In addition, every Thursday and Sunday, a street market is held to sell fresh local produce and fish and shellfish, which seems to be a community place for people inside and outside the city. With the development of the Kochi Expressway, the entire Susaki City town is proceeding with the concrete implementation of the service area concept as a town development that will not pass through even if it is extended. Among them, Shinmachi Hondori Shopping Street has planned and implemented regular radio exercises and events to create a lively atmosphere every day. In addition, in front of JR Susaki Station, a luck corps is organized by local residents, and the toilet in front of the station is decorated with power stone reliefs with the cooperation of a local high school, and the outer wall is painted with a design drawing unique to the city. It seems that they are working on creating an attractive town that is widespread. Sightseeing resources: The Yokonami Kuroshio Line runs vertically on the south bank of Yokonami Sanri, making it a perfect drive course. You can also enjoy rocky shore fishing and boat fishing along the coast. Furthermore, as the Dragon Canoe Tournament has become established as a representative event of the city, it seems that canoeing, straw-baked bonito tataki experience, etc. are being used for hands-on educational trips. In addition, Otonashi Shrine (important cultural property of the country), which is said to have been built in 1251, and Cinnamomum camphora (a national natural monument) of Otani, which is ranked 9th in the 100 selections of giant trees nationwide and has an estimated age of over 2,000 years, at the end of the Edo period. There are “Tosa Domain Gundai Ruins” (national historic site) built in Japan, and “Nomi no Shiobakari” (national intangible folk cultural property), which is a small New Year's event that is handed down in Nomi Bay. In “Food”, Susaki's specialty “Nabeyaki Ramen” has attracted attention, and I hear that many tourists from inside and outside the prefecture visit on weekends. Utilizing the resources of the hinterland, the industry has developed centering on the lime industry and lumber industry, which started operations in 1936, and the light industry of cutting tools and wood industry, which has long-standing technical characteristics. Along with the development of resources that are elements of suitable land for the mining industry and the port of Susaki, which is an important port, major companies such as Osaka Ceramics Cement (currently Sumitomo Osaka Cement) in 1961, Nittetsu Mining Co., Ltd. in 1971, and Matsushita Kotobuki Electron Kogyo in 1972 were established. It seems that it has attracted and has seen dramatic development. However, the cement industry has been severely affected by declining domestic demand and increased imports of cheap foreign cement. In recent years, Matsushita Kotobuki Electronics Industry closed in March 2002 due to the slowdown of the IT-related industry in the prolonged recession, but after that, M-Setec, a silicon wafer manufacturing company for photovoltaic power generation, was invited. It has been in operation since April 2004. M-Setec is said to have contributed to the increase in employment and shipments of manufactured goods in the city, such as starting the operation of the second factory in 2008. “Tsuno Town, Takaoka District” is an area of 197.85 km2 located in the midwestern part of Kochi prefecture. From Shimanto Town, Nakatosa Town, and the eastern part border on Susaki City. The area covered by the Shikoku Mountains is steep, with about 90% being occupied by forests, and the area ratio of agricultural land and residential land is low. In the Hayama area, the clear stream Shinjo River flows from east to west in the central part, and in the Higashitsuno area, the last clear stream Shimanto River in Japan, which originates from Mt. Irazu in the eastern part, and the Kitagawa in the central part, both areas are dotted with villages along the river.

As special products, tea made by utilizing the temperature difference between day and night, processed products such as karinto and miso are widely known. It seems that traditions have been inherited, such as the Tsunoyama ancient style kagura and the revolving stage of Takano, which has been designated as an important tangible folk cultural property of the country. “Nakatosa Town, Takaoka District” is roughly divided into a coastal area (former Nakatosa Town area) and a plateau area over 300 m above sea level (former Onomi Village area) surrounded by mountains. In the former Nakatosa Town area, mountain ranges are lined up in the northwest and southwest, and the tip of the ridge protrudes into Tosa Bay to form a cape, forming a wall-shaped coastline, and several small and medium-sized rivers originating from these mountain ranges. Is poured into Tosa Bay, the estuary is a fishing port, and the river basin is scattered with plains, forming cultivated land. On the other hand, the former Onomi Village area is an area opened in the upper reaches of the Shimanto River, and the Shimanto River meandering in the area divides the area into two parts, almost east and west of him, and cultivated land is opened on both banks, and villages are scattered. It is a town blessed with a natural environment with a variety of scenic beauty, such as Japan's last clear stream, the Shimanto River, lush mountains, the blue sea, and the ria coastline that stretches out in Tosa Bay.

Kure Hachimangu: Famous for the fall festival, the company's saying is unknown because records were leaked due to the 1707 earthquake in the Edo period. However, the faith of fishermen has been strong since the enshrined place in this area, and it seems that there are many women praying for the safety of fishing. Every year from August 14th to 15th of the lunar calendar, one of Tosa's three major festivals, the “Kure Hachimangu Grand Festival,” is held and is visited by tens of thousands of tourists. Futanajima: A legendary island carried by a demon, Kure no Ura, which was plagued by typhoon waves every year. There, a demon parent and child carried a large rock and helped people, but it became Futana Island as it was. There seems to be such a legend. In fact, there is also a hole where a demon stabbed a gold rod, and it is a land connection to the tip of the island. Daruma Asahi: The mystery of midwinter, the rising sun from the horizon and the mirror image of the sun reflected in the sea appear to be connected. It is a phenomenon caused by the refraction of light, and seems to be seen on sunny days from November to March when the temperature difference between the sea surface and the atmosphere is large. The rising sun from off Futana Island is a mystery of midwinter, and many people line up their cameras early in the morning at several shooting spots in the town. Kokamada Beach: A beach overlooking Futana Island, with Futana Island spreading out in front of you, it is a beach with a peaceful atmosphere. Many people visit during the summer and the “Daruma Asahi” season.

There is also an anecdote that “16-year-old Mr. Ryoma walked with his father”, and along the way there is a teahouse near the pilgrimage tomb and the pass, which is told to the local people as “Onami-san”. There is a trace of the hermitage. The ruins of the hermitage, which is now a black bamboo forest, are said to have been trained in the olden days by Kukai, who honored the moon on Kure Bay and connected a hermitage called “Kaigetsuan”, and carved a sitting statue with Jizo Bodhisattva. It is also a legendary land.

In JA Tosa Kuroshio, the terrain has mountains on the north side and the south faces the Pacific Ocean, and the plains have an average annual temperature of around 16.5 ° C. It seems that fruit trees are cultivated in slopes and tea leaves are cultivated in mountainous areas. Especially in facility horticulture, cucumber cultivation has been popular for a long time mainly in Susaki City, but recently, Japanese ginger cultivation has become the main production area, and it has become the main production area boasting the highest sales in Japan. “Tosakko Myoga-chan” is a very energetic girl born between a father who is a strong fisherman in the sea of Tosa and a mother who is good at cooking with fresh vegetables. She has a plump, round face and healthy pink cheeks. She was scolded by her mother for messing up her tide-patterned kimono with Tosa Uzu. It seems that the day to cook a lot of delicious food like her mother is still ahead. She likes a unique scent, and a distinctive crimson color delights her eyes. As a result, it is used as a spice for soba noodles, somen noodles, and cold tofu, and is a seasonal vegetable in summer. In farmers, along with Japanese pepper and mitsuba, it seems to be a typical plant to grow as a condiment in the shade of orchards, backyards, and mansion forests.
Japanese ginger produced in the jurisdiction accounts for 60% of the national market share. It is mainly shipped to the Kanto area, and it seems that about 20,000 cases containing 2 kg will be shipped a day at the peak of summer. It seems that robots are also being introduced to save labor in the boxing work, which requires the most human labor, in order to respond to the increasing shipment volume year by year. It seems that cultivation began in 1984 within the jurisdiction of the former JA Susaki City. Two years before that, the development of forcing cultivation technology has progressed, and it seems that 4 houses farmers have conducted trial cultivation. After that, the demand in the Tokyo market increased, and it seems that the number of producers also increased. At that time, it was beautifully arranged in a folded box and shipped as a high-class food for commercial use, but in 1991, it started selling 50 grams in packs for general consumers.
