"Gifu Fuyu Persimmon (2L-size/High Grade)", Where the King of Persimmons Began | Delivery: 27th~28th Nov

The King of Persimmons Has a Birthplace. Gifu, Japan.

Before Fuyu became one of Japan's most beloved sweet persimmons, its story began in Gifu Prefecture. In 1892, an exceptional persimmon grown in what is now Mizuho City was officially named Fuyu. Its original mother tree is still preserved today, standing as a living reminder of the region where this celebrated Japanese fruit was born. More than 130 years later, Gifu continues to carry forward its rich persimmon-growing heritage. During our visit to Gifu's Ibigawa region, we discovered the remarkable attention given to cultivation and quality control. Local growers follow carefully established growing standards, while modern sorting facilities are designed to handle each persimmon gently, helping preserve its beautiful appearance and quality. Fuyu is a naturally sweet, non-astringent persimmon, loved for its deep, mellow sweetness, vibrant orange colour, and satisfyingly firm, juicy flesh. Enjoy it while firm for a delightful bite, or allow it to soften slightly for a more tender, luscious texture. From the very birthplace of Fuyu, experience the original heritage of Japan's King of Persimmons.
