Higashine-grown peaches Peaches

Coolness on summer nights raises sweet peaches

Peaches were originally from a plateau region in China; a species of peach called Shanghai Peach became the base for the current Japanese peaches at the beginning of the Meiji era.
A warm climate is desirable for peaches, and Yamagata Prefecture is almost the furthest north as a major production area.
Higashine City grows the most peaches in the prefecture. As the temperature at night in the city is low even during the summer, the sugar content is high, making the city ideal for raising peaches.
