What are Koriyama brand vegetables?

Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture is where the Abukuma River, a Class I river, flows. The rich soil and water allow for the cultivation of high quality rice, and it is famous as one of the best rice producing areas in Japan. Koriyama Brand Vegetables was started by producers who wanted to ``create something unique to Koriyama .

There are three characteristics of Koriyama brand vegetables.

  1. We prioritize taste rather than market popularity. We select varieties that are superior in taste, rather than uniformity in shape or shelf life.
  2. Unify cultivation methods and prevent fluctuations in quality.
  3. The results of analyzing and visualizing the taste and nutritional content are published on the official website.

Even if you count the varieties of the same vegetable, there are hundreds of varieties. For example, there are about 300 varieties of carrots. From a huge number of varieties, we choose products with a focus on ``tastiness'' from the consumer's perspective rather than ``ease of sale'' from the seller's perspective. The producers are professionals who know everything about vegetables. Koriyama brand vegetables are special vegetables selected and grown by professionals.

We continue to produce, sell, and promote vegetables with the aim of producing vegetables that consumers choose because they are delicious.

What is “Green Sweet” that we will introduce this time?

Green sweet is edamame. Like regular edamame, they are in season from July to September. In fact, Green Sweet was the first vegetable to be certified as a Koriyama brand vegetable. It is a popular vegetable that is often the first to disappear as soon as it is on store shelves.

Green Sweet is characterized by its glossy green color and outstanding sweetness and aroma. The name says it all. The fields are just about to be harvested, and a sweet aroma wafts from the beans that are ripening. Speaking of edamame, tea beans have become popular in recent years, but green sweet beans are unique in that they have both a bright color and a rich flavor.

Actual review of Koriyama brand vegetable “Green Sweet”

I actually purchased Green Sweet and sampled it. Each pod is large and you can tell that the beans are packed tightly together.

This time I'll keep it simple and boil it.

When you dissolve a little salt in boiling water and add the Green Sweet, the green color of the shell becomes even brighter. When the water boils again, lower the heat a little and boil for about 4 to 5 minutes. If you like it with just the right amount of firmness, don't overcook it.

The moment you drain the water in a colander, a sweet aroma bubbles up...! If you are at home, please enjoy it piping hot with a sprinkle of salt. You can feel the sweet aroma of steamed edamame as you ride the boiling steam.

The beans inside are also dark green. It has a good colon and a plump and firm form. You can tell from the appearance that the beans are tightly packed.

And the taste is rich and rich. Each bean has a very concentrated umami flavor, and each grain has a strong texture that snaps when you bite into it with your molars. It has a rich sweetness and a refreshing flavor. It has a strong sweetness, so it pairs well with salty flavors. There is no doubt that the beer will go smoothly. I think it's an impressive dish that will make you rediscover the deliciousness of edamame...or even update it.

The place where I purchased the Koriyama brand vegetables this time is the farmers' market " Beresh ". Speaking of Beresh, it is a facility that is famous for being able to buy fresh local produce at reasonable prices. During the season when vegetables are plentiful, the area is bustling with people from Koriyama and people visiting from neighboring cities, towns and villages. Delicious vegetables sell out quickly, so if you have something you're looking for, we recommend visiting as early as possible.
