Japan has an endearing love for persimmons (known as kaki) - so much so that some call it Japan's national fruit! As fall transitions into winter, peeled persimmons are hung from string to dry, concentrating the flavors and creating a naturally sweet treat called hoshigaki. These dried persimmons are made from the seedless, mild tasting tanenashi variety which are grown on trees pruned to prevent the fruit from hardening and cracking in the sun. This meticulous attention to detail results in larger, softer and delicious sweeter persimmons.
