日本にっぽんでよく食たべる秋あきの果物くだものの1つに柿かきがあります。
岐阜県ぎふけんの大野町おおのまちでは、たくさんの柿かきを育そだてています。
いま、柿かきの中なかでも早はやく育そだつ「西村にしむら早生わせ柿かき」という柿かきが出来できました。
育そだてた人ひとたちは、7日かから市場いちばなどに出だす仕事しごとを始はじめました。
ことしは6月がつに雨あめが少すくなく涼すずしかったため、色いろが緑みどりから黄色きいろや赤あかに早はやく変かわって大おおきくなったということです。
農業のうぎょうの団体だんたいの人ひとは「季節きせつの味あじを楽たのしんでほしいです」と話はなしていました。

One of the autumn fruits commonly eaten in Japan is the persimmon. In Ohno Town, Gifu Prefecture, many persimmons are grown. Currently, a type of persimmon called 'Nishimura Wase Persimmon', which matures early, has been produced. The growers started the work of releasing them to markets and other places from the 7th. This year, because there was little rain and it was cool in June, the color changed from green to yellow and red quickly, and they grew large. A person from the agricultural organization said, 'We hope people enjoy the seasonal taste.'
