 A lot of dried persimmons are hung in front of the paper pulp hall, making it a winter tradition. I think there are some people who feel nostalgic about their hometown.

The birthplace of "Anpo persimmon" was Yanagawa-cho, Date City, Fukushima Prefecture, and there was a panel with "Date Anpo persimmon".

In summary, it is said that during the Holy Calendar period (1751-1763), a person named Nanaemon of Yanagawamachiisazawa brought and planted Hachiya persimmon trees. The persimmon was named "Shichiemon Kaki". Because the persimmon is peeled and dried in the sun, it came to be called "Amaboshigaki", and when it comes to Meiji period, "Amaboshigaki" is said to have come to be called "Anpo persimmon". <Omitted> "Deliciousness of nature which is finished with time and effort."
