When I hear about the year of development, I can think of the bloody efforts of the producers. I think it's a wonderful thing that has been hand-salted, and expectations are high.

Kikkoman 's "Del Monte Sky Tomato" took 20 years to develop. 20 years, 20 years! I wasn't born 20 years ago! (... I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Don't throw stones!) The identity of this product with such an extraordinary spirit is tomato juice. It is said that it uses the tomato variety "INCA RED" that was originally developed.


In 1992, Del Monte participated in the "Tomato Wild Species Genetic Resource Analysis Project" led by an American tomato researcher. In that project, the small blue wild tomatoes found in the suburbs of Machu Picchu were bred for 20 years and 50 generations, not by genetic modification, but by breeding, and the optimum size and taste for juice. The tomato used in this juice, Inca Red, was made.

By the way, when breeding is usually done once a year (1 generation), Inca Red breeds 50 times (50 generations) in 20 years by breeding all over the world. It seems that it was possible. Well, I think it's amazing, but the humanities brain understands ...

Due to the fact that this product uses Inca Red, which originates from tomatoes found in the suburbs of the aerial city of Machu Picchu, limited sales have been decided only for the "Tokyo Sky Tree," which boasts the world's tallest tower. It is only available at Skytree's official shops, cafes and restaurants. Super rare!

It will be on sale for a limited time and in limited quantities, so if you wish, please come to Sky Tree as soon as possible! It's only for a limited time, but it looks good as a souvenir.
