Japanese Fruit tomatoes フルーツトマト / 1kg

In Japan, even the simplest ingredients are elevated to an art form, and fruit tomatoes are no exception. Unlike ordinary tomatoes, Japanese fruit tomatoes are cultivated with precision and care, resulting in an intensely sweet, richly flavored, and perfectly balanced fruit. Grown under strict conditions with controlled watering and nutrient management, these tomatoes boast a Brix (sugar content) of 8 or higher, making them as sweet as some fruits.

What Makes Japanese Fruit Tomatoes Special?

1. Exceptionally Sweet & Flavorful

• Unlike regular tomatoes, Japanese fruit tomatoes have a higher natural sugar content, often exceeding Brix 8-10.
• Their perfect balance of sweetness and acidity enhances their natural umami, making each bite a burst of flavor.

2. Carefully Cultivated for Perfection

• Farmers limit water intake, causing the tomatoes to concentrate their sugars and flavors while maintaining a firm, juicy texture.
• Each tomato is grown under precise temperature and soil conditions, ensuring consistency in quality and taste.

3. Firm, Juicy, and Aromatic

• Unlike watery, bland tomatoes, these have a rich, dense flesh that is both firm yet bursting with juice.
• Their fragrant aroma enhances their gourmet appeal, making them ideal for fresh eating or premium culinary dishes.

4. Packed with Nutrients & Umami

• Rich in lycopene, antioxidants, and vitamins, fruit tomatoes are not just delicious but also incredibly nutritious.
• Their high umami content makes them a versatile ingredient in salads, pastas, and even desserts.

Twice the sweetness of normal tomatoes

For a tomato to be called a Fruit Tomato, its sugar content must be 8 degrees or more. Comparing to a regular tomato, which has only 4 to 6 degrees of sweetness.

You can consider fruit tomato to be two times sweeter than regular tomatoes, and in fact, its sweetness degree is comparable to other Japanese fruits!
