Each bite of Nagano Purple grapes delivers an explosion of juice that fills your mouth with an enchanting balance of intense sweetness and refreshing character.

Heritage and Development

Since its official registration as a cultivar in 2004, this premium grape variety from Nagano Prefecture has captivated fruit enthusiasts across Japan. Born from crossing Kyoho and Rizamat varieties, Nagano Purple has inherited the best qualities of both parents while evolving into something even more extraordinary.

Distinctive Characteristics

The first thing that catches your eye is their striking appearance — large, jewel-like berries in deep purple. But their true treasure lies in their taste. With an impressive sugar content of 18-20 degrees Brix, these grapes maintain a perfectly balanced sweetness with minimal acidity. Unlike many dark grape varieties, they have almost no astringency, creating an impeccable flavor profile.

The Perfect Eating Experience

Enjoying Nagano Purple grapes couldn't be simpler. Their thin skin and seedless nature mean you can eat them whole. Each bite releases a burst of juice that fills your mouth, accompanied by a refreshing flavor and rich aroma that stimulates your senses.

Health Benefits

These grapes aren't just delicious—they're nutritious, too. Their skins are rich in polyphenols, making them particularly attractive to health-conscious consumers. It's said that eating one bunch might provide as much resveratrol as a bottle of red wine.

Market Value and Availability

Despite their popularity, Nagano Purple grapes remain a luxury item due to their challenging cultivation process. They're particularly prone to skin splitting, which limits production. As a result, they command premium prices in the market, with a single bunch often selling for several thousand yen.

How to Store Grapes?

Grapes are a fruit that doesn't have a long shelf life, so it's wise to consume them as soon as possible.

The best way to store grapes is in the refrigerator.
The white powder (bloom) on the skin of grapes serves to maintain their freshness, so it's advisable not to wash it off until just before eating.

If you want to extend their shelf life even slightly, you can use scissors to cut them individually and place them in a storage bag or an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can also freeze them in this state.
When you're ready to eat, simply take out the portion you need and give them a quick rinse with water before enjoying.

When cutting the grapes from the stem, it's better to use scissors rather than pulling them off by hand. Pulling them off by hand can create holes where the stem was attached, causing the juice to leak out and accelerate spoilage.
