Dried Persimmons (Saefuji Persimmon, Saijo Persimmon, Hatsushuu M) - Pack of 20

Sae Fuji Persimmon (Incomplete Sweet Persimmon)
It's well-known that persimmons are either sweet or astringent, but there are actually types called incomplete astringent persimmons and incomplete sweet persimmons.
The Sae Fuji persimmon looks like an astringent persimmon but is an extremely sweet persimmon inside. When ripe, black spots appear inside, and it can be eaten as a sweet persimmon when fresh.
It makes for dried persimmons with a rich flavor like brown sugar. While they are thick, we include a few extra pieces in bags with many seeds. It's an irresistible treat for brown sugar lovers. The taste is quite similar to the Fuyu persimmon dried persimmons we previously sold as Kanro.

Saijo Persimmon (Early Autumn)
These dried persimmons are popular for their high sugar content, soft texture, and elegant flavor. They are a common astringent persimmon in the Chushikoku region.
We label those with a short sun-drying period and fruity flavor as Early Autumn, and those aged for a long time in cold winds as Kanpu Sarashi. Persimmons that fall in between are sold as Saijo Persimmon.

Sugar Content: High
Texture (Hardness): Soft
Aroma/Ripeness: Highly aromatic, close to fresh persimmon. Some have a fruity, gummy-like texture.
(So sweet, you'll need tea!)
