It is located in the northeastern part of Chiba prefecture, in Shisui Town, Yachimata City, Tomisato City, Narita City, Katori City, as well as in Tako Town, Sammu City, and Togane City. In the middle of the Edo period, there were Omago Maki, Infield Maki, Yanagisawa Maki, Tokko Maki, Takano Maki, Yahagi Maki, and Oilfield Maki, which were collectively called Sakura SEVEN Maki. The area of pasture is about twice that of Narita International Airport, about 18,000 ha, and about 3,000 horses graze on a vast ranch 32 km north and south. On June 10, 2022, the Yachimata City Board of Education announced that there was an omission in the "soybean ingredient" contained in the bread "table roll" provided on June 2 in the list of allergic foods for school lunches at municipal elementary and junior high schools. is doing. There are no complaints of health damage. It's a relief, but according to the city's board of education, the table rolls provided for lunch in the city usually use soy-free margarine, and the list includes "wheat" and "milk." However, on the same day, the factory equipment in the city, which is in charge of manufacturing, broke down, and it was manufactured at a factory outside the city. The ingredients included soybeans, but the school lunch center seems to have neglected to check the ingredient list with allergy information. About 4,000 meals were served on the same day. According to a report from the factory on June 8, three junior high school students with soybean allergies were eating, but no health hazard was confirmed. The hometown “Yachimata”, which was built by our predecessors since the reclamation in the early Meiji era, started anew on April 1, 1992 as the 30th city in the prefecture after the merger of the Meiji and Showa eras. It is located in the center of northern Chiba prefecture, within 50 km from Tokyo, 20 km from Keiyo Industrial Zone, and 10 km from Narita International Airport. It borders Sammu City in the east, Sakura City in the west, Togane City and Chiba City in the south, and Shisui Town and Tomisato City in the north. The size of the city is about 7.7 km short from east to west and about 16 km long from north to south, with an area of 74.94 km2. The central part of the city forms an urban area, with flat upland fields surrounding it, and paddy fields scattered in the southwest and north. Agriculture, which is a key industry, is famous as a suburban agriculture centered on vegetables such as carrots, taro, radish, peanuts, and watermelon. In particular, the production of winter carrots started in the 1970s, and now it is a large production area boasting about 1,000 producers, a cultivation area of about 600 ha, and an annual production of about 22,000 tons. For soil preparation, which is important for carrot cultivation, it is said that by cultivating crops other than carrots such as green manure and wheat in the previous crop, efforts are being made to prevent continuous cropping and to improve soil fertility. The main cultivars include “Aiko”, “Reimei”, “Yoshu”, “Shinyo”, and “Saikou”. In the case of summer sowing in the Kanto area, it takes about 10 days for carrots to germinate. I hear that many people are worried that no sprouts will come out from sowing because they are slower than other vegetables and the sprouts that come out are small. Sowing（A state in which small points are random and disorderly, as if seeds were scattered.）, done mechanically with coated seeds, pays close attention to watering to keep the ground dry from post-seed to germination. In addition, around the beginning of December every year, soil gathering treatment (sprinkling soil on carrots) is carried out as a measure against cold damage, and it is said that it protects from the cold so as not to be damaged by frost. Fertilizers are introduced by fertilizer application design centered on organic compound fertilizers, and when using pesticides, herbicides are sprayed immediately after seeding. It is said that control will be carried out 2-3 times between germination and harvest. Since around 1995, the harvesting work has been mechanized, and labor has been reduced by the spread of carrot digging machines（Carovester; Kubota（For Earth, For Life）is a carrot harvester that has shortened work time and improved accuracy in response to the demands of large-scale carrot producers. The “Carovesta Pro” CH-400F is a high-precision, high-efficiency carrot harvester that supports 400 kg of fresco. Equipped with a 43 horsepower high-power engine, it achieves 1.7 times faster work than the company's conventional model. With the unique movable tapping chain method, the cut surface can be finished uniformly and neatly regardless of the size of the carrot and the digging height. Adopting a lower leaf treatment device, there is little contamination of soil and leaf waste into the flexible container. The assistant can sit down and sort, and it seems that he can easily work for a long time.）. The name Yachimata comes from the character name in the approximate order in which the land reclamation bureau started the land reclamation when the Kogane and Sakura pastures, which were the rangelands of the Tokugawa Shogunate, were cleared by the policy of the new Meiji government. These character names are Hatsutomi (Kamagaya City), Futawa / Misaki (Funabashi City), Toyoshiki (Kashiwa City), Goka / Mutsumi (Matsudo City), Nanae (Tomisato City), Hachigai, Kumigami (former Katori City: The villages of Sawara City), Tokura (Tomisato City), Juyoichi (Shiroi City), Juyoji (Kashiwa City), and Juyosan (Narita City) were born on November 2, 1872. I hear that this 8th reclaimed land is the beginning of what is now Yachimata City. It is also famous as a peanut town and boasts one of the largest production volumes and tastes in Japan. Peanuts bloom yellow flowers in the summer, and after the flowers deflate, they dig into the ground and bear fruit. In autumn, the beans grown underground are dug up, piled up in the field, and dried for about a month. The unusual sight is called Bocchi, a peanut, and is familiar to people. It is said that peanuts were introduced to Yachimata around 1896, even though they were cultivated in Hijikai and Sumino Words. The surrounding soil is said to be optimal for growing, and due to the devoted efforts of farmers, cultivation developed rapidly from the end of the Meiji era and became a special production area in the early Taisho era. In 1949, the cultivated area occupied about 80% of the total cultivated land, boasting the highest production in Japan. From around this time, “Peanuts in Yachimata” became known all over the country. In 1953, the number of peanut cultivated households accounted for 95% of all farmers. Currently, the yield is the highest in Japan, and the peanuts in Yachimata are praised as the best in Japan through improvements in quality and processing methods.

In addition, it seems that it was written under the name of "Hitomitsuka" on the old map of pastureland in the Edo period. “Ginger” is said to have been cultivated in the Nara Period, via China in the 2nd and 3rd centuries. "New ginger" refers to the one that is shipped with leaves attached when it is about the size of a little finger. It is fresh and less spicy, and has a refreshing aroma and taste that makes you feel good. It has long been known to have the effect of warming the body, and has been added to Chinese herbs used for the initial symptoms of colds. It is well known that a wide variety of (active) compounds contained in large amounts are thought to exert a stomachic effect and a body warming effect by acting in a complex combination. Students (Biwako / Kusatsu Campus) of Ritsumeikan University Faculty of Pharmacy play an important role in “ginger”, and compounds other than the main components also strongly act on proteins involved in heat production in the body. It was located. Received the grand prize in the “2018 Excellent Student Award Academic Field” by the Japan Student Services Organization. In 2012, the Food and Beverage Subcommittee of the Yachimata Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Chiba developed the carbonated drink “Yachimata Ginger Ale” using locally produced ginger. Gem of food Chiba 2018 Won the gold medal in the direct sales office category! “Yachimata ginger” has a good color and spiciness, and is very well-balanced. The new ginger has been dug out since summer, and the color is very whitish, the fibers are soft and it has a refreshing spiciness. Initially, it was offered seasonally from late September to December at restaurants in the city, but the bottle type of Ginger Ale Yachimata was born to make it easy to drink throughout the year. The deliciousness of Yachimata-produced ginger is tightly confined, and the fresh flavor of ginger spreads throughout the mouth. The overwhelming refreshingness and natural sweetness are popular. In addition, he was particular about the emblem, and imagined the fields of peanuts and ginger, which are the largest production areas in Japan, in the center, and he said that he treated horses because wild horse catching was popular around the Edo period. The Cabinet Office of the government held a cabinet meeting on June 14, 2022, and the 2022 edition of the "Traffic Safety White Paper (Traffic Safety White Paper is based on the provisions of Article 13 of the Traffic Safety Measures Basic Act (1975 Law No. 110)) is submitted to the Diet every year. The annual report to be submitted. It has been reported since 1976, and this is the 52nd time) ”has been decided. Following a drunk driving accident in June 2021 in which five elementary school students who were leaving school in Yachimata City, Chiba Prefecture were killed or injured, it seems that they have set up a policy to promote efforts to ensure the safety of school roads. It seems that it also focused on strengthening measures for businesses to eradicate drunk driving. In this special issue, we analyze traffic accidents involving children from 2017 to 2021. There were 4271 dead and seriously injured elementary school students, accounting for 59.0% while walking. Of these, it seems that he appealed for the need for measures, saying that about one-third of them went to and from school.
Harvest the leaves when the rhizome of ginger grows to the size of the little finger. It is fresh and can be eaten raw. Also, the rhizome is soft and the spiciness is not as strong as general ginger.
The molecular formula of gingerol (5S) -5-Hydroxy-1- (4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl) -3-decanone, which is the most abundant pungent ingredient, is C17H26O4. Molecular weight, 294.38. Properties: Yellow oily. It seems to be soluble in 50% alcohol, ether, chloroform, benzene, etc. In addition, removing active oxygen that has increased in the body will prevent aging, cancer, lifestyle-related diseases, etc., but it is expected to have an antioxidant effect that suppresses oxidation by active oxygen and protects the body from active oxygen. Is strong.
It is a vegetatively propagated crop, and it seems that there are few mutations and cultivar differentiation. It is divided into small ginger, medium ginger, and large ginger according to the shape and size of the tuber and the shape of the grass. In addition to "root ginger" that harvests enlarged tubers, there are "leaf ginger" that ships young tubers with foliage attached, and "bud ginger" that ships young softened germs. For root ginger cultivation, early-maturing small ginger is suitable for areas with a short high temperature period, and okute large ginger is suitable for areas with a long high temperature period. There is no need to break the dormancy, it is not affected by the length of the day, it can be cultivated at any time if the temperature is maintained, fresh foods are preferred, and storage is quite troublesome due to rot and sprouting, so I heard that year-round cultivation is possible. There is. It seems that the planting season in warm and warm regions varies depending on the region, but there seems to be planting in April to May when the risk of late frost disappears in open field cultivation, February to March in green house cultivation, and December to January in warm house cultivation.
