Quality Commitment

They focus on bringing out the natural deliciousness of the "Saisho" persimmon variety without adding any unnecessary elements, using their expertise as greengrocers. This variety is characterized by its fruit weight of about 200g and an average sugar content of around 20%, making it significantly sweeter than other persimmon varieties. Additionally, they thoroughly perform a "hand-kneading process" to soften the fruit pulp. This results in a soft, yokan-like texture.

4 Flavors

Bitter Chocolate

The rich sweetness of the slightly bitter chocolate harmonizes perfectly with the gentle sweetness unique to dried persimmon. The umami of the persimmon beautifully matches the chocolate's flavor, creating a luxurious taste experience.


Framboise Chocolate

The surface is sprinkled with Noto salt, giving an initial salty sensation. The saltiness of rock salt, the tartness of raspberry, and the sweetness and umami of dried persimmon form an exquisite flavor combination.

Matcha

The astringency of matcha enhances the milky sweetness of dried persimmons, creating a complex flavor profile.

White Chocolate

The gentle sweetness of white chocolate creates an exquisite balance with the subtle bitterness unique to matcha.
