As of November 25, due to chill as a result of a high-pressure system moving in from the Eurasian continent, clouds have spread. However, in the Okinawa region the weather has mostly been fair. In Kitahama, Nakagusuku Village, which is known for being the area in which the best Okinawa island carrots are grown, the harvest of yellow island carrots is beginning.
Seijun Noha, 83, with a smile, said, “There has been harsh weather this year, but without fail we have watered in the morning and evening, and [the carrots] have been able to grow adequately.” The Nakagusuku Village Island Carrot Day will be held on December 12 to celebrate the time between December and February that is ideal for harvesting island carrots.
