Japanese Fuyu Persimmon

Discover Fuyu persimmons grown in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, and supplied by JA Chikuzen Asakura. With orange skin, mellow sweetness and juicy flesh, they bring a taste of the Japanese autumn to your table.

Fuyu is a non-astringent variety, meaning the ripe fruit can be enjoyed while still firm. Slice it for a crisp bite, or enjoy a softer texture as the fruit continues to ripen.

What makes Fuyu special?

• Sweet while firm: ripe Fuyu can be eaten before the flesh becomes soft.
• Juicy texture: enjoy its rounded sweetness on its own or add slices to a salad or fruit plate.
• Fukuoka origin: supplied by JA Chikuzen Asakura from one of Japan's established persimmon-growing regions.

What's in the box?

Choose 6 or 12 Fuyu persimmons, according to the box size selected. Both options use the L-size fruit selection. Fruit size, color and appearance vary naturally.

How to enjoy and store

Rinse before eating, remove the leafy cap and slice into wedges. The skin is edible; peel if preferred. Seeds may be present, so remove any before serving.

Refrigerate to help retain firmness and enjoy soon after arrival. For a softer bite, allow the fruit to soften at room temperature away from direct sunlight.

Seasonal delivery

Fukuoka's main Fuyu harvest generally falls in November and early December. Availability and delivery timing depend on harvest conditions, so please check the current delivery schedule before ordering.
