お隣さんから庭で生った柿をいただきました。その木は樹齢数十年の大きな木で、柿の実が色づくといかにも「日本の秋」の風情があります。実の形は四角っぽいので一見 次郎柿のように見えますが、こんにちの次郎とは少し違うと思います。果肉は次郎のように硬いけど、風味が爽やか系です。
My next-door neighbour gave me these persimmon fruits this morning. Her house was built many decades ago by her late parents and the tree looks it has been there since the beginning. The fruits are squarish, similar to Jiro. If the tree is Jiro, it must be of the old type - Jiro is an old variety and it has been improved over the years. The flesh of these fruits is crunchy like that of Jiro, but the taste and flavour are fresher instead of heavy like the modern Jiro.
From my experience of eating that tree's fruits over the years, the fruits are almost seedless.
