Japanese Taishū Persimmon – The King of Size and Sweetness
Taishū (大秋) – literally “Great Autumn” – is the undisputed monarch of Japanese persimmons. This ultra-premium, non-astringent giant was bred to push every limit: colossal size, explosive sweetness, and flawless eating quality from crisp to creamy-ripe.
Sourced exclusively from champion growers in Wakayama and Ehime, our Taishū persimmons are harvested from low-yield, old-vine orchards where every tree is pampered like royalty. The result? Fruits that regularly tip the scales at 400–600 g each, with some record specimens exceeding 700 g.
Why Taishū is in a league of its own:
- Monumental size and perfect symmetrical shape – the ultimate gift-box centerpiece
- Sugar levels routinely 20–24° Brix, delivering an intense, almost tropical honey-mango sweetness
- Thick, jewel-like flesh that turns silky and custard-like at full maturity
- Completely non-astringent at every stage – enjoy crisp like an apple or soft like jam
- Deep, glowing reddish-orange skin with a luxurious glossy finish
Each colossal Taishū is individually wrapped, cushioned, and flown under precise temperature control to arrive in pristine, showroom condition.
When you want to make an unforgettable impression – whether for VIP clients, five-star hotels, or the most special celebration – nothing in the persimmon world compares to the majestic Taishū.
Strictly limited. Available only at the height of the season (mid-November to early December) while perfection lasts.
Health Benefits of Premium Japanese Taishū Persimmon
The colossal Taishū delivers the same potent nutritional profile as Japan’s finest non-astringent persimmons – but in magnificent proportions. One single fruit often provides the nutrient equivalent of two regular persimmons.
- Antioxidant titan Exceptionally high concentrations of polyphenols, catechins, betulinic acid, and beta-cryptoxanthin – among the strongest natural defenders against oxidative stress, inflammation, and age-related damage.
- Mega-dose immunity boost A single large Taishū can supply 150–200% of daily vitamin C and over 100% of vitamin A (from beta-carotene), fortifying immune response, eye health, and skin integrity.
- Powerful heart protection Over 600–800 mg of natural potassium per fruit, plus tannins and soluble fiber that help regulate blood pressure, reduce LDL oxidation, and support healthy circulation.
- Blood-sugar-friendly indulgence Despite its intense, almost tropical sweetness (20–24° Brix), abundant fiber and polyphenols slow glucose absorption, keeping glycemic impact surprisingly gentle.
- Superior digestive support Up to 12–15 g of dietary fiber in one fruit – promotes smooth digestion, feeds beneficial gut bacteria, and helps maintain regularity.
- Youthful skin & collagen support Concentrated vitamins A, C, E, and unique persimmon antioxidants protect against UV damage and stimulate natural collagen production for firmer, glowing skin.
- Stronger bones & joints Rich in manganese, magnesium, and copper – essential minerals for bone density and connective tissue health.
At only ~200–280 kcal per giant fruit, Taishū is nature’s most luxurious superfood: breathtaking size, decadent flavor, and extraordinary wellness benefits in every majestic bite.
