It is a dried fruit made from the "Hatchin" persimmon grown in the Nishikan-ku area of Niigata, Niigata Prefecture.
After a careful process of removing astringency, the persimmons are dried to reveal their natural sweetness, with no variation in flavor between the fruits. No preservatives or added sugar are used during manufacturing.
Thinly sliced, this product highlights the appearance of the fruit while retaining all the natural sweetness of the persimmon.
Ideal for mixing with granola, serving as a snack for young children, or pairing with cheese and alcohol.
Light and flavorful, it becomes more tender and easier to eat after a trip to the toaster oven. As a seasonal product, it is sometimes served in inns as an accompaniment to various dishes.
