Let's Enjoy Koshigaya's Summer Vegetables ！

Summer vegetables are packed with nutrients to help you stay healthy during the hot summer months. Here, we introduce fresh summer vegetables grown in Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture, which are now coming into season.

Grower’s Perspective

Hiroaki Nakajima, who grows a variety of vegetables including corn, edamame, and broccoli, has been farming for over 45 years. “Corn is vulnerable to rain and wind, so it’s a crop that’s easily affected by the weather,” he explained. “Timing the harvest is also difficult, so I take it very seriously every morning.”

"Since I put a lot of time and effort into this by hand, it’s very rewarding when people tell me it’s ‘delicious,’" he said with a smile. "It’s important to deliver safe, fresh vegetables. Please be sure to try these delicious vegetables, picked fresh this morning."


Morning-harvested corn

Mr. Nakajima grows “Gold Rush,” known for its yellow kernels and rich sweetness, and "Dolce Dream," which features a mix of yellow and white kernels.

"I recommend cooking it in the microwave—it saves you the trouble of boiling water, and the nutrients and sweetness don’t leach into the water," he told us.
