It is said that lemon cultivation in Setoda Town, Onomichi City, began in the Meiji era. It created a lemon boom, centered around the Tarumi district, and in 1963, it became the number one lemon producing area in Japan, with a production volume of about 900 tons, and this valley came to be known unanimously as "Lemon Valley." The liberalization of lemon imports in 1964 dealt a devastating blow to domestic lemons, forcing producers to cut down their trees. However, when post-harvest pesticides on imported lemons became an issue, the safety of domestic lemons was reconsidered, new lemons were planted, and Onomichi City quickly achieved a revival as a lemon producing area. As the top brand of domestic lemons, we deliver them from Setoda to all over the country with confidence and pride.
