<\/p>\r\n
This year\u2019s harvest began last week, a week or two later than usual due to the effects of a long rainy season. \u00a0According to Farm Azegami, \u201cThe long rains presented challenges for growing the figs, which we had to overcome. However, the harvest is expected to be normal.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

The fig variety harvested at this time is \u201cMasui Dauphin\u201d. \u00a0It is a variety that accounts for 70% of the figs cultivated in Japan, and is characterized by being sweet, resistant to diseases, and easy to grow.<\/p>\r\n

Work begins at 5am. Morning is the optimum time for harvesting the figs at their peak firmness and sweetness.<\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
About 300 figs can be obtained from one tree. \u00a0On this day, 80 kg were harvested, which is more than usual.\u00a0 The figs are sweeter than you can imagine!<\/p>\r\n
