'Himekko' resulted from a cross of 'Ichiyo' and 'Misakahakuho' made in 1999. Since it is high in sugar content and quality despite of its smallness, 'Himekko' has named as 'Momo Yamanashi 11' after the primary selection in 2007.

The harvest is in the middle to the last of June at raising point ;an altitude of 440 m, and is about four days earlier than 'Chiyohime' and nine days earlier than 'Hikawahakuho'.
