Anpo-gaki
When you gently sink your teeth into the plump, translucent flesh—it melts. From a juicy, jelly-like texture, an explosion of concentrated, rich sweetness flows out. It is a luxurious taste, entirely different from ordinary dried persimmons. Anpo-gaki is a specialty of Date, Fukushima. Peeled astringent persimmons are fumigated with sulfur and then slowly dried. The secret to maintaining a vivid amber color and preventing the flesh from darkening lies in this fumigation process. Because they are finished while retaining a higher moisture content, that signature semi-soft, melting texture is created. The orange-glowing flesh is like a gemstone. A moist, soft texture that tightly locks in the sweetness of the persimmon. This is Date's pride—a melt-in-your-mouth dried persimmon that appears waiting for winter.
