Saijo Persimmons
When you dip a spoon into a persimmon from which the astringency has been removed, the luscious flesh melts away, spreading a dense sweetness across your palate. Saijo City is known as one of the premier persimmon-producing areas in Ehime. Characterized by their long shape and four distinct grooves, 'Saijo Persimmons' were originally astringent persimmons. Once the astringency is removed, they become melt-in-your-mouth soft, transforming into a rich sweetness akin to a natural dessert. When made into dried persimmons, the sweetness becomes even more concentrated, resulting in a moist and profound flavor. Enjoy them chilled as they are, or as dried persimmons. This is a bounty of Saijo's harvest that you'll want to savor slowly during the deepening season from autumn to winter. The melting texture of the soft, fully ripe flesh is unforgettable once tasted.
