King Autumn japanese Pear "Oshu (Extra-Large 5L-size/High Grade)", The Late-Autumn Japanese Pear with a Surprisingly Delicate Bite, Approx.1kg(2pcs) | Delivery: 6th~7th Nov

Discover a different side of Japanese pears with Oshu, a distinctive late-autumn variety prized for its remarkably fine, tender flesh and abundant juice.

Unlike the firm, crunchy texture often associated with Japanese pears, Oshu offers a gentler, more delicate bite. Naturally large, the fruit develops a beautiful golden-brown skin, often with a subtly elongated shape. Inside, its pale, fine-grained flesh delivers refreshing juiciness, mellow sweetness and a delicate touch of acidity that creates a beautifully balanced flavour.

Oshu has a special connection to Ibaraki Prefecture, where the variety was originally developed in Tsukuba. One of Japan’s historic pear-growing regions, Ibaraki has cultivated pears since the Edo period. Its fertile soils, abundant water and distinct differences between daytime and nighttime temperatures have helped establish the prefecture as one of Japan’s leading pear producers.

While many familiar Japanese pears are harvested earlier in the season, Oshu reaches maturity in late autumn, offering an opportunity to enjoy fresh Japanese pears well beyond the peak of the traditional harvest.

A distinctive choice for those who appreciate Japanese pears with a softer texture, refined sweetness and exceptionally satisfying juiciness.
