About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

The original Japanese Hokkaido cultivar and the classic behind the name that many people simply use for the whole type. The small, teardrop shaped fruits are orange red and productive; one plant carries several of them in a good spot. You cook them with the thin skin on, and the flesh is fine, dry and nutty. It ripens a little earlier than other Hokkaido types, which is an advantage in cooler locations.

Fine, dry flesh with a clear chestnut note and balanced sweetness.
