History of grape cultivation in Inagi City
The grape "Takao" is a variety developed at the Tokyo Metropolitan Agricultural Experiment Station in Tachikawa City in the 1950s. Although the quality is excellent, it is difficult to manage the cultivation, so it was not widely used.
However, in Inagi City, farmers who fell in love with these grapes began cultivating them around 1973-1974. In 1976, the Inagi City Takao Grape Study Group was established. After repeated trial and error, it gradually got on track, and now Inagi's "Takao" is established as a brand of gift grapes.
