An opportunity to learn about local agriculture by comparing it with ordinary radish ■Tokoji radish, named after the place in Hino City ~Currently cultivated by three farmers in the city After being harvested, Tokoji Daikon, which is a pickle-grade radish named after the place in Hino City, was dried and shipped in large quantities to be eaten by female workers at a silk textile factory in the
neighboring town of Hachioji during the Meiji era. Ta. White daikon radish dried all over Katta in the winter breeze was a classic sight. Due to the decline of the textile industry and the appearance of a new variety, “Blue-necked Daikon”, the harvest decreased from 100,000 to 5,000, but in 2011, it was registered as an “Edo-Tokyo vegetable” and cultivated under the “Hino-produced brand”.
