OKesa Kaki (OKesa Persimmon)
A seedless persimmon with a melting sweetness that colors the autumn in Sado. Its name is derived from the Sado folk song "Sado OKesa." The varieties are the seedless astringent persimmons "Hiraakina-shi" and "Tone-wase," which are shipped after the astringency has been removed. It is said that the original tree still exists in Akiba Ward, Niigata City, and continues to bear fruit every year despite being over 370 years old. Because the lack of seeds was considered the eighth wonder, following the "Seven Wonders of Echigo," it has also been known by the name "Hatchin-kaki" (Eight Precious Persimmons). Sado is truly a representative production area, accounting for over 60% of the prefecture's production. With a smooth texture after astringency removal and a mellow sweetness that fills the mouth, it is a flavor Sado is proud of, making you crave it as autumn deepens.
