00:00Is a strawberry a fruit or a vegetable?
00:06Generally speaking, a tree is a fruit and a vine is a vegetable.
00:13However, strawberries, melons, and watermelons are classified as fruit vegetables.
00:20Therefore, in Agri Kingdom, strawberries are called fruits.
00:26Here are the fruits we are going to focus on today.
00:29Please turn around.
00:35I love strawberries!

02:19Today, the Agri-Kids

03:59Strawberries!
04:00Strawberries!
04:01How would you feel?
04:02I'd definitely eat 10 of them.
04:05I knew it!
04:06I'd definitely eat 10 of them.
04:08How about you, Konmi?
04:10I love strawberries, so I'm really looking forward to it.
04:13I'm happy to hear that.
04:14So, let's focus on the strawberries this fall.
04:19Yes.
04:20We're going to focus on how strawberries, which both of them love, are produced.
04:27Let's do it!
04:28Let's do it!
04:31Urakawa-cho is visited by many people.
04:35It's well-known nationwide for its low-yield produce, such as salad bread.
04:42In Hokkaido, summer is relatively cool and winter is warm,
04:48so a lot of agriculture is done to match the climate.
04:54Strawberries are one of the specialties of Urakawa-cho.
05:00Now, let's call the producer.
05:03This way, please.
05:05Hello.
05:06Hello.
05:07Nice to meet you.
05:08I'm Kushiketa.
05:09Kushiketa.
05:10Yes.
05:11You have a big house.
05:13You have a lot of other houses, too.
05:15Yes.
05:16How many strawberries do you produce?
05:18Eight.
05:19You have a house like this?
05:20Yes, eight.
05:21Eight?
05:22Yes.
05:23How many strawberries do you produce?
05:25We produce about 2,000 strawberries per year.
05:282,000 strawberries per year?
05:29Yes.
05:30We can produce about 1 kg of strawberries per year.
05:32This area in Hokkaido, the Hidaka area,
05:36produces a lot of strawberries in summer.
05:42Yes, a lot.
05:43All over Japan?
05:44Yes, all over Japan.
05:48This is the last season.
05:50The last season?
05:51Yes.
05:52But we still produce this much.
05:54That's amazing.
05:55That's amazing.
05:56You just mentioned summer strawberries.
06:00When do you think strawberries are sold in supermarkets?
06:06In summer and spring.
06:08In summer and spring.
06:10In winter, during Christmas,
06:13strawberries are sold in supermarkets.
06:16I think it's in the fall.
06:18I see.
06:19There are two types of strawberries.
06:24Mr. Kushiketa, what are the differences between summer strawberries and winter strawberries?
06:29Summer strawberries are generally cold because they are weak against the heat.
06:37But Hokkaido is cool in the summer,
06:40so we mostly grow summer strawberries in Hokkaido.
06:43In Japan, strawberries are grown in winter.
06:51In Tochigi, Tochiotome.
06:53In Fukuoka, do you know the famous strawberry?
06:57The sweet and round one.
06:59Amao.
07:00Yes, Amao.
07:03But in Hokkaido,
07:05I don't think there are many strawberries in summer supermarkets.
07:11Yes.
07:12Most of the strawberries we grow here are sent by plane to Honshu.
07:18In winter?
07:19It's a waste.
07:20It's a waste?
07:21It's a waste.
07:22How do you feel about that?
07:23I want to eat them all.
07:25You want to eat them all.
07:26You want to come to your house and eat them all.
07:29About 80% of the summer strawberries in Urakawa are shipped to Kanto Prefecture.
07:36Before shipping, the strawberries look like this.
07:41The top part is still white.
07:44Yes, it's still white.
07:47The strawberries are harvested when the top part is still white.
07:54This is what I just got.
07:56This strawberry.
07:57It's not ripe yet.
07:59Is this the harvesting season?
08:01Yes, it is.
08:02Why?
08:03There are a few days before the strawberries are shipped to the store.
08:09The strawberries turn red at that time.
08:12We harvest them at that time.
08:16Does that mean that the color of the strawberries improves even after harvesting?
08:21Yes, it does.
08:22What happens to the strawberries after the strawberries turn red?
08:28They turn soft and rot.
08:32So that's what you're thinking about.
08:34You're smart.
08:35Yes, I'm smart.
08:38Moriyana has a question for Aguriko.
08:43Do you know what the producers are doing?
08:47Do you know what they're doing?
08:50It's not on the ground.
08:53It's on the top.
08:54It's easier to pick.
08:57It's not a flower in the leaves.
09:00It's a vine on the bottom.
09:03So what's convenient?
09:06It's easy to pick.
09:08It's a little high.
09:10It's easy to pick because the strawberries are on the outside.
09:14I thought you had a good idea.
09:16What do you think?
09:17It's a good point.
09:19It's a good point.
09:21What kind of cultivation is this?
09:23It's a high-rise cultivation.
09:26It's easy to work by planting strawberries at a high place.
09:31Strawberries are usually on the ground, right?
09:34Strawberries are planted on the ground.
09:36Strawberries are planted on the ground.
09:39It's an old-fashioned way of growing strawberries.
09:43Is there any other advantage of this high-rise cultivation?
09:48It's easy to pick, and it's easy to manage water and temperature.
09:53It's easy to work, so it's very beneficial.
09:57I calculate the amount of water per day and increase it.
10:01How do you measure water?
10:04I mix all the fertilizer and send it automatically by machine.
10:10I put a pipe through it.
10:13I set the time and temperature of the fire so that the water goes through the sensor.
10:19It's also hygienic, isn't it?
10:22That's right.
10:23Strawberries are grown very cleanly.
10:27I think you can get beautiful strawberries when you get them.
10:33Then, we'll harvest the strawberries.
10:37We asked them to leave the red ripe strawberries for the shooting of the program.
10:44Hold it with two fingers.
10:47Put your thumb on it gently.
10:51Then, you can pick it.
10:55Let's start with Seri.
10:57Hold it with three fingers.
11:01Be gentle.
11:04Shake it.
11:07Shake it.
11:10Oh, you got it.
11:12Let me see it.
11:14You did it.
11:16Don't eat it.
11:18Just pick it.
11:20That's right.
11:24I can't pick it.
11:25Just pick it.
11:28Can you pick it?
11:30You got it.
11:31Let me see it.
11:32You did it.
11:36I'll pick this one.
11:41You did it.
11:43You're good.
11:46I don't think Mori can pick it.
11:51You got it.
11:53You got it in the end.
11:56You got it.
12:00Let's pick them up.
12:05These are fresh strawberries.
12:08Let's say it together.
12:10Itadakimasu.
12:13Before that, I have a question.
12:16What is it?
12:17Do you want to say it here?
12:19Before that.
12:21If you get this quiz right, you can eat it.
12:23Which part of the plant does this strawberry eat?
12:28This is the question.
12:31Komi, you're fast.
12:33Look at the camera.
12:34Seed?
12:36I think it's the seed.
12:38What about you, Seri?
12:42Seed?
12:43Seed.
12:44This is a part of the flower.
12:52It's the base of the flower.
12:59This part is the seed.
13:02This part is the fruit.
13:07This is the fruit.
13:09Yes.
13:10It's small.
13:11There are seeds inside.
13:15So, the fruit and the seed are correct.
13:21This big part is the base of the flower.
13:24It's the base of the flower.
13:27So, let's say it again.
13:30This is a fresh strawberry.
13:32Let's say it together.
13:33Itadakimasu.
13:40It's sweet.
13:41It's sweet.
13:42It's delicious.
13:43Seri, try it.
13:45You're fast.
13:46I eat it in one bite.
13:47How is it?
13:50It's very sweet.
13:52It's very sweet.
13:53Itadakimasu.
13:59It's sweet.
14:01It's delicious.
14:04It's not only sweet, but also sour.
14:09It's very delicious.
14:10It's very fresh.

14:23It's sweet, but it's also sour.
14:28It has a strong scent.
14:31It has a strong scent and taste.
14:33It's delicious.
14:36This strawberry has been praised many times.
14:39In fact, it's a new product of KITAI.
14:43This strawberry is called Suzurika.
14:46Suzurika?
14:47Yes.
14:48Until last year, it was called Suzuakane.
14:53This year, it's a successor of Suzuakane.
14:59This year?
15:00Suzuakane is the main variety of summer strawberries in Hokkaido.
15:05The color is darker than Suzuakane.
15:08It has a strong scent.
15:10It has large grains.
15:12It's a very good product.
15:14It's not sour, so it's sweet.
15:19After this, we will go to Senkajo.
15:24Senkajo.
15:27There are a lot of strawberries.
15:29Aren't we going to eat them yet?
15:33Aren't we going to eat them yet?
15:36KUSHIKETA says so.
15:38You can eat a lot.
15:39No.
15:42I don't want to eat.
15:45There is no commercial.
15:48Let's go to Senkajo.
15:51Senkajo
15:55We are going to Senkajo.
16:03From now on, we will talk to Mr. Kudo.
16:06Nice to meet you, Mr. Kudo.
16:08Nice to meet you.
16:09Can you see? There are a lot of strawberries.
16:12There are a lot of strawberries.
16:14There are 14 strawberries in Ugakawa.
16:18There are 21 strawberries in Samanicho.
16:21There are 35 strawberries in total.
16:24They are brought to the Senkajo in Ugakawa.
16:28Is that so?
16:29They are brought here from Samanicho next door?
16:32Yes.
16:33How many strawberries are collected in one season?
16:38About 193 tons of strawberries are brought to Senkajo.
16:44Mr. Kudo will show us how to select strawberries.
16:50Everyone is wearing a cute shirt.
16:53Really?
16:54T-shirt.
16:56Can I see your T-shirt?
16:59T-shirt.
17:00Cute.
17:02Cute.
17:03It says Akane and Rikka.
17:06Suzu Akane and Suzu Rikka.
17:09Thank you for coming today.
17:14I'm sorry I'm in the middle of work.
17:16The box of strawberries has arrived.
17:19There are a lot of strawberries.
17:20This is the amount of strawberries we harvested this morning.
17:24They are lined up one by one at a great speed.
17:30They are lined up.
17:31They are lined up at a great speed.
17:33That's amazing.
17:34The strawberries are lined up one by one at a great speed.
17:38When I look at it, it slides and rolls.
17:41This is a weight selector.
17:44It measures the weight of each strawberry.
17:47It measures the weight.
17:48Yes, it measures the weight.
17:50The strawberries flow according to the set weight.
17:54I see.
17:56There are women waiting.
17:58What are they doing?
18:01They pick one by one.
18:03First, they judge whether it is good or bad for business.
18:11After that, they divide it into three categories,
18:15which are triangular, beautiful, normal, and bad.
18:20Then, they pack them.
18:23Is there a reason why you are particular about people's eyes?
18:27There is a function to judge the shape with a camera.
18:33However, it is not possible to see the difference between the pain of the wound and the damage during the disease.
18:45That's why we make sure to look at each strawberry carefully.
18:53Now that you have learned the work of such people,
18:57do you want to eat delicious strawberry sweets?
19:01Yes, I do.
19:04You look happy.
