Hello,

It is getting colder day by day in Kobe. During this season, Japanese Persimmons start to bear and become available to us.

There are many different types of Japanese Persimmon, some with seeds, some without seeds.

Traditionally, persimmon has been enjoyed as dried and preserved fruit.
Some persimmons are astringent when eaten as is, but just like any other dried fruit, it becomes much sweeter and tasteful if its dried.

If you come to Japan next time during winter time, please enjoy the Japanese persimmon as is and also the dried persimmon!
