Hoshigaki, or dried persimmons, are a traditional Japanese delicacy that has been enjoyed for centuries. The persimmons used for Hoshigaki are carefully harvested in Toyama Prefecture, known for its ideal climate for persimmon cultivation. After being hand-peeled and hung to dry, these persimmons develop a deep, natural sweetness and a soft, chewy texture. The drying process also concentrates the flavors, creating a rich, honey-like taste with a hint of umami.
