Yataro's local produce store (Kaminishi-cho, Chuo-ku, Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture) began sales of 'freshly picked' corn grown by Tanaka Farm in Enshu Morimachi in May 2026 as part of its 'local production for local consumption' initiative.

The store is carrying three varieties: 'Kan-kan-musume' (branded as 'Mori no Shizuku'), 'Roysee Corn,' and 'Kantarou.'

■ Why 'Freshly Picked' is Best
Tanaka Farm begins harvesting around 2:00 AM, when sugar content is highest. Corn consumes energy during the day and accumulates sugar after sunset, making the pre-dawn hours the optimal time for harvest. Shipping on the same day preserves this freshness.

■ Variety Profiles
- Kan-kan-musume (Mori no Shizuku): Sugar content of 18–20 degrees. Thin-skinned, juicy, and sometimes enjoyed raw.
- Kantarou: Sugar content of 18–22 degrees. Larger, satisfying, with a robust sweetness.
- Roysee Corn: Sugar content of 17.5 degrees. A rare variety known for its creamy, rich flavor.

■ Tanaka Farm's Commitment
Representative Masaya Tanaka entered agriculture after marrying into a farming family. He employs meticulous methods, including custom-ordered fertilizers, precise measurements with sugar content meters, and daily field patrols to determine the perfect harvest time. The fertile soil of Morimachi and the dedication of farmers produce this exceptional corn.
