It can be sweeter than melon. Shine Muscat is a green jewel.”I’ve really staked my life on Shine Muscat,” said Hidemi Natsuyagi of ”Natsuyagi Noen” in a loud and clear voice. Katsunuma in Yamanashi Prefecture is famous for grapes, and his farm is one of the most long established grape farms in Katsunuma, him being the fourth successor. Shine Muscat, which Nastuyagi said he staked his life on, is now being grown all over Japan, but the production volume is very small. However, Shine Muscat at Natsuyagi Noen is all very big and uniform in size.

All the efforts do not materialize immediately. Grape making in a long span.“Natsuyagi used to have no intention of succeeding the farm. He is very particular about the soil, too, and he is mixing cedar chips into the soil. However, it will be a long time until it will take effect. Natsuyagi, who staked his life on Shine Muscat has an eye on a new kind of grape that will be available soon. His passion is endless. He will continue grape making, which he ”stakes his life on”.
