History and Origins

Wakayama Prefecture is a major crop in the country. In particular, the country of Narita, which is the home of Takada's Tokyo, is a mountain field called the Mountain. It is said that in the year 1574, the Ito Sunguard of Tohoku Itahara, Japan, brought back and planted the oak plants from his youth. Takeda City, where mountains and seas are approaching and there are few flat ground available for rice growing, is suitable for growing warm climate and soil. That is why they promoted and thrived growing candelabra in the state of Kagoshima. Later, Ito Sun Tzu's right-hand can tree was brought back and it was believed that the present - day source of the Yuka Kanda can was born. In addition, in 1634, for the first time in a ship to carry the Edo in the Edo, the Kota was also well known in Edo. When the seas were rough and the ships could not be released on a continuing day in November 1685, there were stories of a large Edo that saw the prices of cane cans rise. "Kinashi" is a sweet, springing from a study of cooking and manners, and it is made from a can of a state-of-the-art can, which is made from a can on rice, which is a state-of-the-art dish, and then it was put together with rice. The color and smell are good, and you can enjoy the soft, sour taste.
