Japanese Kishu Temari Persimmon Gift Box (4kg)

$128.00

Wakayama Prefecture’s new and original sweet persimmon, “Kishu Temari,” is a long-awaited new variety developed over 10 years by the Wakayama Prefectural Fruit Tree Experiment Station Persimmon and Peach Research Institute! As Japan’s leading persimmon producer, it was created through selective breeding by crossbreeding “Soushu” persimmon, known for its red skin and excellent flavor, with the “Taishu” persimmon, known for its crisp texture, juiciness, and high sugar content.

Registered as a variety in 2019, this large, early-ripening persimmon is slightly larger than a typical persimmon and features a beautiful red-orange skin. Its crisp texture and juicy flavor are its hallmarks. Additionally, Kishu Temari persimmons boast a high sugar content of approximately 16-17 degrees sugar, similar to that of Fuyu persimmons, boasting some of the best flavor among persimmons currently on the market. The name, which evokes the “plump, round, and beautiful appearance” of the traditional Wakayama craft, “Kishu Temari,” inspires great expectations and confidence that this persimmon will become a representative brand of the prefecture.

The main harvest for Kishu Temari persimmons is from late October to early November. Kishu Temari persimmon season begins in late October, when the seedless (astringent) persimmon season ends. This timing perfectly fills the gap between the astringent and sweet persimmon seasons.
