1st National Grape Championship
・* Determine the most delicious “grape”! *
The appeal of grapes is their juicy juice, smooth texture, and just the right amount of sweetness, as well as the fact that they are easy to eat without using a knife. Grapes, which are popular for their delicious taste and variety, are very popular with both adults and children! Vegetable sommeliers, who serve as evaluators, tasted the grapes entered from all over the country, with all information such as the product name, place of origin, and producer information hidden. The taste of the grapes will be judged, and the most delicious grape will be determined based on the total score of all evaluators.

*What is the National Fruits and Vegetables Championship?*
National fruit and vegetable championship
The National Fruits and Vegetables Championship is a competition in which vegetable sommeliers, who are experts in vegetables and fruits, select the most delicious vegetables and fruits. The aim is to support producers and contribute to the revitalization of Japan’s agriculture by evaluating and disseminating valuable and delicious fruits and vegetables to the world. Winning an award increases recognition, expands sales channels, and increases sales. We receive feedback from the vegetable sommeliers who are the evaluators, and can utilize it for future development.
Next time, we are planning to hold the 3rd National Apple Championship.
