Yamatoritsu Orchards - Kasumigaura

It is now a very popular chestnut garden. On weekends of the season, cars are not allowed to enter the parking lot during the opening hours, and many cars are parked on public roads under the slope. It's been very busy. It's a family business, so it can't be helped, but there is no one to guide the car, so it's a bit confusing. The atmosphere is that both picking up chestnuts and purchasing chestnuts will require reservations. Chestnuts are very delicious.

There are so many visitors even on weekdays. In the garage next to my house, there are two people, an aunt and an aunt, so there is a reasonable waiting time for weighing and paying fees. As for the taste and quality of chestnuts, well. It's best to think that you are paying for the entertainment of "picking chestnuts". It's no wonder that the highest quality chestnuts can't be offered for picking chestnuts. No, it's not bad at all. There are so many. The chestnuts that have fallen are beautiful at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find insects on the back, mold and rottenness. So, check it carefully before picking it up. The chestnuts you pick up are a system that you can buy and take home for 700 yen per kg. Kuribayashi looks vast, and when you actually walk, it feels surprisingly narrow. Empty squid and useless chestnuts are scattered all over the place, so I'd like you to clean them a little more every day. Thick-soled sneakers or boots and gloves are a must. Ordinary work gloves are fine, but it hurts quite a bit when the thorns stick, so it is even better to use thick gloves made of a material that does not stick the thorns. Also, the squid sometimes falls from above, so if it hits my head, it will be quite disastrous. Iga's thorns are sharper and more dangerous than you might think. A hat is a must. It is safe and secure for children to wear a bicycle helmet. Also, if you have long tongs (fire scissors) that you can use to pick up trash, you can safely and easily pick up chestnuts. You can pick it up while standing. You can get a plastic bag to put the chestnuts you picked up, but it's a slippery bag with no handle, so it's hard to hold it if you put a lot of chestnuts in it. So it will be easier to bring a bucket.

I went to pick up chestnuts with my child, but unfortunately the rain prevented me from picking up chestnuts. I bought raw chestnuts. There is a service that peels chestnuts for a fee. It will cook until a little astringent skin remains, so it's easy to cook after returning.

I thought it was a little-known chestnut garden. There are quite a few large chestnuts and the children are very satisfied.

I'm looking forward to the season of picking chestnuts again this year, it seems that chestnut rice or simmered chestnuts will be open on September 2nd (Sun).

I have been to Yamatoritsu Orchards every year for almost 10 years. Chestnut picking itself has been around for 40 years in this area since I was a child. It takes time and transportation costs because I drive from the city center, but I was looking forward to it every year because I could pick up Rihei chestnuts. The admission fee was 500 yen for adults, and the chestnuts to take out were 800 yen per kg this year. (700 yen last year) Until last year, even if I picked up only Rihei chestnuts, I was praised as "Are you all Rihei? You are good at picking chestnuts!" There is no such thing. " I didn't write such a thing anywhere and was surprised at the sudden change. Then, when asked if it should be mixed with other types, he said, "It depends on the ratio." If there is such a change, I wish I could write it down on the website and post it on site. If you haven't been told anything for years and you don't know it, you won't know. I don't want to be told as if I'm doing something wrong. Perhaps because of the popularity of the outdoors due to the influence of corona, the number of users suddenly increased from last year, which may be the reason, but I was very disappointed. There are quite a lot of customers on weekends this year as well, and since I am far away, I felt that it would be difficult to find a good chestnut if I started picking it after 10 o'clock. On the way back, at a place like a roadside station called "Pocket Farm Dokidoki", the fine raw chestnuts of Rihei chestnuts were sold for 800-1000 yen per kg. Considering transportation costs and time, I'm wondering if it's better to buy chestnuts there than to pick up chestnuts for 1500 yen per kg + admission fee.

[Good point] ・ Everyone is very polite ・ There is only one toilet, but I think it is clean in the farmhouse's toilet, and there are about 20 parking lots, so I think it is well equipped. ・ I got a little roasted chestnuts at the tasting. ・ I went to early October and got a lot of big chestnuts. ・ It is helpful because detailed information is sent on the homepage, twitter, etc. * There is also online sales [Unfortunate place] ・ We do not rent tools for corona measures, but I think we can take measures such as disinfection, so it is very disappointing that we do not rent them at all.

I went to buy raw chestnuts in mid-September. It is located on a narrow back road so that you will not pass each other. There is a parking lot. ・ Chestnut picking (admission fee available) The chestnuts you picked up are purchased for 800 yen per kg. ・ Sale of raw chestnuts ・ Peeled chestnuts 1kg? 300 yen ・ Roasted chestnuts sold (500 yen per bag) If you want to pick up chestnuts, we recommend that you bring a tongs bucket and wear shoes that can get dirty. No tongs can be rented to prevent corona infection. It was like vinyl without a handle to put the chestnuts I picked up. Raw chestnut sales 1 net, 900 yen and 1100 yen. There is a peeling service for 300 yen per net. Peeling is done by machine, so it finishes immediately. Peeled chestnuts will be put in a zipper bag. 80 to 90% of demon skin and astringent skin are peeled off. The remaining skin was removed during the day. Frozen as "raw chestnuts" for chestnut rice. "Rum boiled" and frozen for confectionery ingredients. It can't be used for boiling astringent skin because it also peels off the astringent skin, but I'm really grateful that the difficulty of peeling chestnuts can be solved for 300 yen! I've been to other chestnuts directly, but this is the first time I've seen a peeling service! The chestnuts I brought back were not worm-eaten or damaged! I will go buy it again next time! Repeat decision! It's a recommended chestnut shop (^ ー ^)
