Date Anpo Kaki Day is a commemorative day established by the Fukushima Mirai Agricultural Cooperative (commonly known as JA Fukushima Mirai), which governs 12 municipalities in the northern and Soma regions of Fukushima Prefecture.

For this reason, the 13th of each of the three months of December, January, and February, which are the peak season for persimmon production, are designated as commemorative days
