[Pre-Order] Shion Grapes 紫苑 / 500-600g

A Wine-Red Temptation Beyond Seasons.

Have you heard of Shion grapes, a winter delicacy from Okayama? Just as the regular grape season comes to an end, these beautiful wine-red, large grapes make their appearance.

A Luxurious Winter Treat

Shion grapes are unique winter grapes harvested from late October to early December. Their striking wine-red appearance and large, plump berries create an impressive sight. However, the true charm of Shion lies in its taste. While boasting an extraordinary sweetness level of 18-20 degrees Brix, it perfectly balances with subtle acidity and muscat-like aroma. Furthermore, being seedless with easy-to-peel skin makes these grapes accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

A Winter Miracle Born from Master Craftsmanship

Why are Shion grapes harvested in Japanese winter? The answer lies in the exceptional cultivation techniques of Okayama's farmers. By skillfully managing temperature and climate conditions for these naturally late-ripening grapes, they have transformed Shion into a winter luxury. This unique harvesting period has made Shion grapes a highly sought-after winter gift. Their beautiful appearance and rich flavor make them perfect for special occasions and gifting to loved ones.

How to Enjoy

To maximize the appeal of Shion grapes, it's recommended to chill them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before eating. A trending new way to enjoy them is partially frozen, creating a sherbet-like texture. These luxurious grapes, available beyond the typical season, truly represent the pinnacle of Japanese agricultural technology.

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.
