Sweet potato

Beni-otome

Easy to grow even at home, it has a beautiful red color, a gentle and uniform spindle shape making it suitable for baking and other edible purposes. Its skin is red while the inside is yellowish-white. The cut ends produce a large amount of jalapin, a white resin-like substance. In 1990, beni-otome was designated as a Kagoshima recommended variety.

Rose

Damask rose

Among the 20,000 roses species in the world, the damask rose is particularly fragrant and used to make the finest perfume. Mainly grown in Bulgaria and Turkey, they are said to be difficult to grow in Japan but do grow quietly in Kanoya Rose Garden. They bloom once a year in May, with lovely light pink and fragrant flowers. They are harvested at the time and frozen until early October for production.

Water used

Jukaku hot spring water

Sakurajima is one of Japan’s most active volcanoes.
Looking up to it, is the city of Tarumizu where jukaku water gushes forth from 800m underground. It contains 8.89ppb (parts per billion) of water-soluble germanium which is a hundred times more than the average.
Water-soluble germanium can also be found in plants such as ginseng, reishi mushrooms, polypores, or garlic and has been used for the longest time to maintain health. Natural alkaline ionized water, jukaku, is also rich in natural minerals and is known to have excellent penetrating and extracting power due to its unusually small molecular structure.
