August 28th – September 1st, 2025 is Autumn – Middle of SHOSHO (Manageable heat)-47th KOU “Heat starts to die down.”
The Lunisolar calendar has reached the last week of August and the first day of September, the 47th KOU notices that summer season ended and enter Autumn, and the weather is manageable and comfortable.
It’s time for autumn fruits to be available. Actually, fruit cultivation is thriving in the HOKUSHIN area.
The delayed shipping of MOMO (peaches) has finished, and the harvest of Japanese-pear (NASHI) is coming to its peak.
Speaking of NASHI, a major convenience store has begun selling “GUYTTO- NASHI” ice bars, made with juice of NASHI that only grew in the SHINSHU region. According to the company’s website, the product, which was released in September last year, was so well-received that this year’s release date was brought forward to August and production was increased by 40%.
Worried that it would be sold out, I rushed to the store (^^; Another delicious product having connection with SHINSHU has been added to the lineup!
After MOMO, we can enjoy one delicious fruit after another, NASHI, BUDOU (grapes), RINGO (apples) and KAKI (persimmons), until early December.
