【千疋屋メロンF6＃8】最高の1果の見極め方「摘果」で1果に全集中！【軽く水切りも】

Thank you for watching Morita Farm's channel! In this episode, we take you into the most intense and critical phase of melon cultivation: "Fruit Thinning" (摘果). To produce the ultimate melon, we must precisely select only one fruit from the many growing on a single vine. This process requires absolute focus and a "full concentration" mindset. "Which one stays, and which one goes?" I will explain the professional standards and criteria we use in the field to identify the highest quality fruit. We also share the essential "Water Stress Technique" (水切り) used during this period. Why do we intentionally let the leaves wilt? What effect does this have on the melon’s flavor? Witness the true craftsmanship and the reality of the cultivation process behind the melons delivered to the world-famous "Sembikiya." 【Key Takeaways】 ・Intentionally wilting leaves?
