Premium Pione Grape [Greenhouse-grown]

The name of this grape comes from the Italian word "pioneer". It is also known as "Black Pearl" due to its large, blackish-purple grapes that are seedless and has a scent of wine with a good balance of refreshing sweetness and acidity. The beautiful color is a distinctive feature of this very popular grape and the farmer focuses on producing large, solid grapes with vibrant colors. Since they are seedless, you can enjoy them without getting your hands dirty.

FARM FACT: Okaki Farm focuses solely on growing grapes not only on the traditional outdoor fields but also stable growth environments with the use of greenhouses and scientific methods such as electric sunlight. In addition, they also practice sustainable agriculture and have adopted systems such as solar power panels to take a step towards farming that considers the global environment. Suzaka city, where Okaki Farm is located, has low night time temperatures, which makes the respiration and transpiration of the grapes inactive, minimizing the consumption of stored sugars in the fruits. This allows the grapes to be more colorful and have a deeper flavor than those grown in other regions.
Okaki Farm's grapes are distributed to various premium hotels, restaurants and department stores in Japan.

* Grapes in greenhouse are cultivated by warming the inside of the greenhouse in the middle of winter. Grapes grown at this time of year are considered very rare because there are few farmers who grows them.
