Shonai Persimmon
When you slice into the square-shaped persimmon, there are no seeds. As it enters your mouth, a melting softness and a clear, clean sweetness spread across your tongue. The flesh is so smooth that it is said, 'Seedless persimmons are eaten with the tongue.' It all began in 1885, when Shigemitsu Suzuki of Tsuruoka discovered a single seedless persimmon among the seedlings he was cultivating. Choryo Sakai, the son of a Shonai clan elder who helped spread this variety, was later known as the 'Father of Shonai Persimmons.' It is said that the name 'Shonai Persimmon' was first used in 1925 when they were presented to the Crown Prince. When enjoyed well-chilled, a cool, melting sweetness fills your mouth. It is a luscious, sweet blessing representing autumn in Shonai.
