Cherry
Small, red, and glossy grains that look as if they have gathered the light of early summer. When you take a bite, an elegant sweetness and a pleasant acidity burst forth, bringing an involuntary smile to your face—these are cherries, the pride of Yamagata's early summer. Yamagata boasts the highest cherry production in Japan. Cultivation was attempted in the early Meiji era, and it is said that Yamagata's climate, surrounded by mountains and prone to dry rainy seasons, was a perfect match for cherries, which are sensitive to rain. The representative variety, 'Sato Nishiki,' is a cultivar grown with great care by Mr. Eisuke Sato of Higashine City, boasting an exquisite balance of sweetness and acidity. A special fruit that can only be tasted during the short season of early summer. Cherry picking is also one of the joys of traveling through Yamagata.
