Fuyu Persimmons from Kudoyama
The king of sweet persimmons grows here—Kudoyama Town is a renowned producer of the high-quality 'Fuyu' variety, among the best persimmons in Japan, with Wakayama Prefecture boasting the top production levels nationwide. High sugar content is achieved through a combination of ideal conditions: soil nurtured by the oldest geological strata on Honshu, long periods of sunlight unique to sloped terrain, and significant temperature fluctuations due to its proximity to Mount Koya. The history of cultivation is said to date back to the Meiji era. Known as the place where Sanada Yukimura lived in seclusion with his father, it is a town filled with historical romance, bustling with the Sanada Festival in the spring. Large and heavy, these Fuyu persimmons boast a rich sweetness and melting flesh. Their ease of eating due to having few seeds makes them a favorite for gifts—truly the king of autumn flavors.
