Dake Kimi
'Kimi' is the Tsugaru dialect word for corn. Grown in the Dake Highlands at the foot of Mount Iwaki, this corn is said to be even sweeter than melon. In the Dake Highlands, located at an altitude of 400–500 meters, the temperature difference between day and night exceeds 10 degrees Celsius after the Obon festival period. It is said that this harsh environment tightens the kernels and concentrates their sweetness. The sugar content reaches over 18 degrees, making it so juicy that it can be eaten raw. Because the sugar content drops after harvest, we insist on shipping only morning-picked corn. Whether boiled or grilled, the bursting sweetness of the kernels is exceptional. It is a treasure of Tsugaru that can only be tasted during the short summer season.
