Description

Jiro is not just any persimmon – it is the gold standard, the original premium cultivar that redefined what a non-astringent persimmon can be. Developed in Japan over a century ago, Jiro remains the most prized and sought-after Kaki variety among connoisseurs and high-end retailers worldwide.

Hand-picked from elite orchards in Wakayama, Gifu, and Fukuoka – regions legendary for producing Japan’s sweetest persimmons – our Jiro fruits are selected only from old-vine trees that yield extraordinarily concentrated flavor. Each piece is flawless: perfectly flat-bottomed, deep glowing orange, with silky-smooth, jewel-like flesh that literally melts in your mouth.

Why Jiro stands above all other Fuyu:

• Exceptionally high sugar levels (often 19–22° Brix) with a rich, honey-caramel depth
• Crisp when firm, yet turns lusciously creamy-soft at full ripeness
• Virtually seedless, with translucent, jam-like texture when perfectly mature
• Zero trace of astringency – even when picked early for export firmness
• Larger average size and more uniform, gift-worthy shape than standard Fuyu
