Haskap ハスカップ

In Atsuma, Japan’s largest town of Haskap, you can enjoy picking Haskap at tourist farms. The taste of Haskap differs from farm to farm and from tree to tree. You can find your favorite tree by tasting the sweet, sour, and bitter taste. Haskap trees can only be harvested for two to three weeks in late June and early July of the year. Fans come from all over the country to enjoy the very short harvesting season of Haskap. The shrubby Haskap is also popular with families as even small children can enjoy harvesting it.

日本一のハスカップのまち厚真町では、観光農園でハスカップ狩りを楽しむことができます。農園によって、木によって味の違うハスカップ。甘い、酸っぱい、渋いなど、味見をしながらお好みの木を見つけましょう。収穫できるのは1年のうち、6月下旬から7月上旬のたったの2~3週間です。収穫時期が非常に短いハスカップを求めて、全国からファンが訪れます。低木のハスカップは小さな子どもでも収穫を楽しむことができるので家族連れにも人気です。
