Recently, food connoisseurs in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City have been buzzing about the appearance of a special type of chocolate persimmon at the Omiyage Fruits&More chain of stores. Imported directly from the famous Wakayama region of Japan, these persimmons have quickly become a symbol of luxury and sophistication. With their glossy exterior, dark, chocolate-like flesh, and sweet flavor, Japanese chocolate persimmons promise to deliver unforgettable culinary experiences.
Chocolate persimmons have flesh with many tiny black spots. This black color is due to the antioxidant polyphenol. Polyphenols make up 90% of each chocolate persimmon, making them highly sought-after during peak season.
Between October and December, imported fruit stores sell a type of persimmon with a chocolate-like flesh.
Just one or two weeks ago, many stores were still selling chocolate persimmons for up to 3.5 million VND for a box of 2.6-3.5 kg. Japanese chocolate persimmons are truly a treasure of nature. This fruit is rare, accounting for only 1% of Japan's total square persimmon production. To obtain these ripe, sweet persimmons, farmers must patiently wait for more than a month for the fruit to ripen naturally on the tree. Because of its rarity and special cultivation process, chocolate persimmons are always sought after and highly valued in the market.
Japanese chocolate persimmons are truly a treasure of nature.
The market for chocolate persimmons in Vietnam is generally not very bustling due to their scarcity and significantly higher prices compared to other fruits. Although the supply is limited, customer orders remain stable whenever the chocolate persimmon season arrives.
In particular, this fruit is very rich in nutrients but does not cause weight gain or obesity. Because of these advantages, Japanese black persimmons are very expensive.
Customers who have tasted chocolate persimmons are always amazed by the unique and sweet flavor of this fruit. Many are willing to spend a considerable amount of money to experience that wonderful feeling again. They share that chocolate persimmons are not only a delicious treat but also a refined culinary experience, providing moments of wonderful relaxation.
