The spring that he loved is in full bloom!<\/h2>\r\n

Camellia rusticana flowers are in full bloom at the Sakaguchi Memorial Hall in Kubiki-Ward, Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture. Various events are also held in line with this.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

The Sakaguchi Memorial Hall is a facility that honors the achievements of Dr. Kinichiro Sakaguchi, who is known as “Dr. Sake”, a world authority on applied microbiology.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

In the garden of the museum, 200 camellia varieties, which he liked to collect from all over the country, are planted.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

Director Kasahara of the museum said, “Mr. Sakaguchi gathered to sell saplings when rice cannot be sold (due to a good harvest). It is loved by the local people. There is no place where you can see so many types of camellia. I want you to come. “<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

Due to the high temperature of camellia, camellia began to bloom around March 10th, about a week earlier than usual. The best time to see it is next weekend.<\/p>\r\n

Awamori and sake related to Dr. Awamori will be on sale at the Sakaguchi Memorial Hall until the 18th (Sun) as the camellia blooms.<\/p>\r\n

Admission is free on the 3rd and 4th, and special products of Kubiki Ward will be sold. On the 10th (Sat), there will be a spot sale of camellia rusticana cuttings. Until the 18th, picture books introducing Dr. Sakaguchi can be viewed side by side.<\/p>\r\n
