Pear Season in Tokyo

Tuesday, October 11, 2011

Japanese, or Asian pears differ from the traditional known in the Middle East and Europe.
These pears are usually round, firm to touch when ripe, and are ready to eat after harvest.
Asian pears reach prime quality when they ripen on the tree, like an apple and peach. These pears will be crisp, juicy, and slightly sweet with some tartness, especially near the core.
One pack of 3 pears is sold at this supermarket, in Tokyo, for JPY580 (about US$7.70)
