Our signature blueberries, &#8220;Mori no Sapphire,&#8221; are beloved for their sweetness, rich flavor, and large, beautiful berries. This article will introduce you to the charm and dedication behind Morinohatake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Origin of Morinohatake<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Morinohatake began in 2007 in Suzaka City, Nagano, with a single blueberry sapling. Carefully nurtured through changing seasons and weather conditions, this sapling grew into a thriving plant bearing jewel-like blueberries. Thus, &#8220;Mori no Sapphire&#8221; was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We devote immense time and effort to cultivating &#8220;Mori no Sapphire,&#8221; resulting in blueberries with high sugar content and concentrated sweetness. Celebrated for their beauty and taste, our blueberries have become a symbol of Shinshu region&#8217;s premium produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sweetness Born from Harsh Winters<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Mori no Sapphire&#8221; belongs to the Northern Highbush variety, thriving in cold climates. Enduring Nagano&#8217;s severe winters, they develop high sugar content and rich flavor by summer. It&#8217;s said that fruits grown in harsh conditions are sweeter, and our blueberries, having braved the cold, offer unparalleled taste in the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rigorous Quality Control and Careful Cultivation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>At Morinohatake, we maintain blueberry quality through meticulous pruning and thinning. In winter, unnecessary and old branches are removed, and in spring, excess flowers are thinned out, ensuring nutrients are concentrated in the healthiest berries, enhancing their sweetness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We use handmade drippers to carefully manage water and nutrients, maintaining optimal conditions for our blueberries. Harvesting is done at the peak of sweetness and flavor, ensuring the highest quality produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Experience Blueberry Picking at Morinohatake<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy blueberry picking at Morinohatake from June to August.
