Japanese peaches are famously sweet, soft and juicy. We visit the town of Koori, in northern Fukushima, an area with the ideal soil and climate for peach growing. Koori peach exports, which suffered greatly due to the great earthquake of 2011, are today even greater than before the disaster, thanks to their well proven safety. Koori peaches are such high quality that they are selected every year to supply the Imperial Palace. We interview peach farmers and visitors enjoying their orchards.

  1. Goin to Fukushima, gonna eat a lot of peaches, tritium in a can, They were put there by a man,
    In a factory downtown.
    If I had my little way,
    I’d kill every TEPCO Exec
    and the Olympic committee,
    that put the games in Fukushima.
    refrain

  2. Wait, those peaches are safe to eat right? I mean since Fukushima had been contaminated by radioactive when one of their nuclear reactors exploded after earthquake.

  3. Hey, let's grow food in the most radioactive place and feed it to kids 😄 Sounds so logical. Forget the 30 million one tonne bags of irradiated soil, and evacuation zones, and billions of dollars worth of equipment left behind due to nuclear meltdown. Nuclear waste in the Pacific Ocean mass extinction no no. Kids like peaches!
