Japan's national fruit: the persimmon.

Delicately nurtured in the land of clear streams, Gifu Prefecture, Fuyu Persimmons are bursting with juice and flavor. 
Its spectacular shape and color are said to be reminiscent of the sun, earning Fuyu Persimmons the nickname "King of Persimmons." Modern-day descendants can be traced to the original tree cultivated in 1857 and named in 1898. 

Fuyu Persimmons are as tasty as they are healthy. A persimmon usually has more vitamin C than a lemon, and can easily provide the average adult with their daily dose of this critical nutrient.

The perfect addition to your next charcuterie board, best enjoyed with cottage cheese or a slice of prosciutto. 

How to Best Enjoy Your Fuyu Persimmons: 
Firm Fuyu persimmons : Rich, satisfyingly crisp skin and flesh.
Ripe Fuyu persimmons : Melt in your mouth and explode with a sugary, nectar-like flavor. 
BONUS TIP:  Freeze Fuyu persimmons and consume when half-thawed to experience a sherbert-like luxury dessert.

About Umai Japan

Gifu Prefecture, Japan

One of the youngest persimmon producers in Japan

The brand name "Umai" was chosen not only because it means "so good" in Japanese, but because the founder wanted to hear people around the world use the word "umai" when talking about Japanese-grown products. The founder of Umai Japan was inspired by the rapid decline in farmers producing these specialty persimmons while attending Gifu University in 2021. In 2023, Umai Japan was officially founded and ready to fill the gap. According to the founder, "We want to preserve these persimmons that farmers have worked so hard to maintain to the next generation, and we want to deliver this flavor not only to Japan but all over the world."

Preserving Tradition and Innovating Flavor

Gifu Prefecture is famous for its awe-inspiring natural landscapes, as well as a warm, mild climate. These conditions create the optimal environment for persimmon growth. The crystal-clear freshwater nourishes each tree to produce plump fruit with otherworldly sweetness. To preserve this incredible land, Umai Farm has been taking over farmland that was abandoned due to the aging population not being able to care for it. They are also developing "smart" agricultural technologies to help farmers achieve their production goals.
