About Connect Farm's "Kintaro" Corn
Connect Farm is a farm in Iizuna Town, Kamiminochi District, Nagano Prefecture. Its golden-kernelled corn is known for a rich, concentrated flavor and exceptional juiciness. With a sugar content of 18 degrees — on par with grapes and melons — "Kintaro" is the kind of corn that changes your expectations from the very first bite.
Each cob is grown with careful attention and harvested at the right moment of ripeness, then shipped in its freshest state. It works equally well as a treat for the household or as a thoughtful gift for someone special, and appeals to a wide age range from children to the elderly.
What Makes "Kintaro" Special
Fruit-Level Sweetness from Nagano
Grown in Iizuna Town, where large temperature swings between day and night naturally concentrate sugars, "Kintaro" develops a sweetness comparable to fruit. At 18 degrees brix — similar to grapes and melons — it is best enjoyed raw as soon as it arrives.
Shipped at Peak Freshness
"Kintaro" is harvested only when it has reached peak flavor, since freshness is critical to the taste experience. Corn picked in the morning is dispatched the same day via refrigerated courier. (Estimated shipping: late July to early August)
Best Eaten Raw
When the box arrives, simply peel back the husk and eat a cob raw. Each kernel is firm and bursting with sweetness, offering a texture and flavor that feels more like eating a piece of fruit than a vegetable.
