[Air Express] Yamanashi Goshō Pink Peaches ±1.5kg (5–7 pcs/box)

Chosen by Experience, Not by Numbers — A Peach with Purpose

In the heart of the Kōfu Basin, Yamanashi, lies the quiet village of Goshō.
Here, a small group of 14 dedicated farmers forms the Pink Peach Division —
bound by a shared desire to grow peaches that are not just sweet, but truly delicious.

Each year, they revisit and refine their approach — from varietal selection to cultivation techniques —
continually returning to a simple but powerful goal:
To bring joy to the people who eat their peaches.

This box contains peaches originally grown for gift-giving,
but set aside as home-use because of slight irregularities in color or shape.
Their taste, however, is the very same.

A Thoughtful Approach to Variety

Out of dozens of peach cultivars, the farmers carefully cultivate 20,
and narrow them down to just 10 based on flavor, color, and sugar balance.
The result is a consistently delicious peach throughout the season —
a quality that takes not just effort, but years of patience and care.

Some trees take 4–5 years to reach maturity.
Still, they stay the course, with a commitment that never wavers.

Cultivation Rooted in the Soil

Good peaches begin with good soil.
The farmers use cow manure in spring to support tree strength,
and chicken manure in autumn to reduce bitterness in the fruit.

They practice grass-growing cultivation, allowing grass to grow around the base of the tree to protect the soil and prevent disease.
Each peach is carefully bagged by hand, one by one — protecting it from blemishes and helping it ripen beautifully.
Just before harvest, they reduce water to naturally concentrate the sweetness.

Peaches Chosen for Taste, Not Appearance

These are not peaches sorted by sugar sensors or flawless appearance.
They are chosen by hand — by taste, texture, and ripeness.
Some may be slightly irregular in shape or color,
but each carries the care and character of the person who grew it.

They may not be flashy, but they’re the kind of peaches you look forward to every year.

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, th
e 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.
