It is said that during the early Edo period when Ieyasu TOKUGAWA retired to Sunpu-jo Castle, he was given Kishu mikan (hon mikan, namely true mikan) from Kishu, and the mikan tree he planted there became the origin of mikan in the Shizuoka region. |
また江戸時代初期、徳川家康が駿府城に隠居したとき、紀州からキシュウミカン(ホンミカン)が献上され、家康が植えたこの木が静岡地方のみかんの起源とされている。 |
