Ishioka Persimmons
When you bite into a glossy, brightly colored persimmon, a crisp texture gives way to a juicy sweetness that spreads throughout your mouth. The pride of Ishioka's persimmons lies in their melt-in-your-mouth sweetness, achieved by waiting patiently until they are fully ripe before harvesting. Located on the eastern side of Mount Tsukuba, the former Yasato district of Ishioka City is known as the northern limit for sweet persimmon cultivation. In the warm hilly terrain of the basin, varieties such as Fuyu and Matsumoto Wase-Fuyu are carefully nurtured one by one. In particular, Fuyu persimmons that have been strictly selected through rigorous inspections have been presented to the Imperial Family every year since 1969. The gentle climate fosters an elegant and mild sweetness. It is an Ishioka delicacy that makes you crave autumn as the season deepens.
