Have you ever had Okinawan pepper?
A vine found mostly in the Yaeyama region of Okinawa
Do you know “Pipers”?
Even in Okinawa, the name differs slightly depending on the region.
Piperts, Hiibachi, Phiferch, Hihachi, Piparts
Hiibachi, Hihachi, Hiberts, Pipers, Hihatsumodoki,
etc.
They all refer to the same thing, the peppercorns from the southern part of the country.
Our store sells peepers (in pepper form), which are berries from the southern part of the country.
*By the way, they are grown without pesticides.

From the fruit of this plant
Pepper is produced from the fruit of this plant.
It is a spice produced in Okinawa.
It has a very nice aroma.
Have you ever eaten it?
Some people say, “This is for Okinawan soba! Some people even say “This is for Okinawan soba!

I heard that after the TV broadcast, there was a temporary shortage all over Okinawa.
That was the only time we ran out of stock.
When I asked people around me if they had any seedlings, they said, “That's impossible.
That was over 20 years ago.
It's a wonder that seeds don't sprout.
I heard that it can be propagated by cuttings because the roots come out from the seeds.
But it's very difficult to grow from cuttings.
Then, I came across this! I met someone!
I met someone who was making seedlings!
Amazing!
He had developed a method for growing seedlings through many failed attempts at taking cuttings!
I immediately purchased 10 pots of seedlings!
I planted them 1 meter apart at the block wall.
I don't think they grow fast.
It's pretty slow...
In 7 years, I have grown 5 seedlings.
It has grown to the top of the block wall
It has grown to the top of the block wall and its leaves have become lush and green.
We picked a lot of fruits and distributed them to our acquaintances.

And then...
Last year's typhoon that I will never forget!
U-turn typhoon
came to Okinawa ・・・・・
What a surprise!
It wiped out all of them.
I want to cry・・・・・
It was too much of a shock.
But after more than a year, I finally started to get over the shock.
I'm growing two seedlings, not many, but two.
I'm growing two seedlings
right now.
They're just starting to bear some small fruits.
in a flowerpot.
They're in flowerpots, but I'm not sure if I want to let them crawl on the block wall or not.
I'm not sure
I'm not sure.
What do you think?
