Shiga no Korogaki
The surface shines with a beautiful amber color, lightly coated in a fine white powder. Once in your mouth, the inside is meltingly soft, spreading a deep, concentrated sweetness—Shiga no Korogaki is a premium dried persimmon that colors the winter of Noto. The raw material is 'Saisho Persimmon,' a astringent variety with an average sugar content of about 20 degrees. The fruit is peeled, hung, and dried in the cold winds of Noto. It is said that the name 'Korogaki' comes from the practice of rolling the fruit to ensure it receives plenty of sunlight, a traditional production method that has continued for 400 years in the former Shiga district. Finished through repeated hand-kneading by artisans, it possesses a softness like an earlobe and a melting texture. Registered as a Geographical Indication (GI), it is a masterpiece that Noto is proud of. Its superior sweetness makes it a highly appreciated gift for the winter season.
