 [Air Express] Fukuoka Premium Peach Gift Box (Akashu Grade) | Approx. 1kg (4–5 Peaches)

The Season We've Been Waiting For.

Every year, there’s one fruit we look forward to more than any other.

Peaches.

The season never lasts very long.
Just as summer arrives in Japan, the first peaches begin to appear.

And all too soon, the season is gone again.

Perhaps that's what makes them feel so special.

This year, we're delighted to introduce these premium peaches from Fukuoka.

The moment you open the box, a gentle sweetness fills the air.
Before you've even taken the first bite, the fragrance alone feels like summer.

Juicy, delicate, and beautifully fragrant, each peach offers the kind of sweetness that doesn't overwhelm, but lingers pleasantly.

The peaches in this gift box are graded Akashu (赤秀), the highest grading category used for peaches in Fukuoka Prefecture.

Peaches in Fukuoka are generally classified into four grades:

Akashu (赤秀)
Aoshu (青秀)
Yu (優)
Ryo (良)

Cooling them too long can dull their aroma, while a gentle chill allows both their fragrance and sweetness to shine.

One of the pleasures of peach season is that it doesn't ask for much.

Just chill them lightly, slice them up, and enjoy.
When the fruit is this good, that's usually enough.
The peach season never lasts as long as we'd like.

Which is exactly why we look forward to it every year.
A gift from summer, carefully grown in Fukuoka and enjoyed at its best, in its season.

Ripeness & How to Enjoy

Your peaches may arrive slightly firm — that’s intentional.

■ How to tell when they’re ready:

1. A sweet, gentle aroma starts to come through
As the peach ripens, it gives off a noticeably sweet, floral fragrance.
If you catch the scent just by walking past, it’s a good sign it’s ready.

2. Slight softness at the bottom when gently held
Hold the peach gently in your palm and feel the bottom (opposite the stem).
If it gives slightly under gentle pressure, it’s ripe.
If it’s still firm, it needs more time. If it’s very soft, it may be overripe.

3. A natural sheen appears on the skin
As it ripens, the peach develops a slight shine or translucent glow, indicating juiciness.

4. The pale areas start to show a soft blush
Depending on the variety, the whiter parts of the skin will start to take on a gentle pink or yellow tint as the fruit ripens.

Once they reach this stage, we recommend chilling them briefly in the fridge before enjoying — it enhances both texture and flavor.

※ Keep peaches out of direct sunlight while ripening, and store them in a well-ventilated area.
※ Once ripe, enjoy them promptly before they become too soft.

Peaches have one of the shortest growing seasons, and the varieties available can change each week.
