This month, meet Sakuranbo from Yamagata prefecture. These cherries actually remind me of Rainier cherries (maybe they are of the same variety?) They weren't very sweet and actually a bit tart. I was surprised at the price too, about US$3 for a little over 200 grams.
And white peaches from Fukuoka prefecture. These are called Hakuho. The skins are a bit bitter, but the insides are juicy and sweet.
I had to cut away at the insides to get it off of the stone (it was that ripe!) 2 of these delicious peaches were US$6! Luckily, when I bought them they were in a container with holes so I could smell them before buying.The fruits and veggies are probably the only part of Japan summers that I enjoy.
Hope you have a good week.

Glad that you had a bargain on them, would be a pain when you've to pay hefty for your cravings hehe..I hate it when the blueberries at Costco was at 10 bucks for a box when I want them so bad, but perhaps its not in season. I did not buy the blueberries :(
True, Meltingwok, having to pay heavily for something delicious does hurt sometimes.
Take care.

I wish we had white peaches like that available here - I've read so many good things about them on different blogs!!
I hope you'll be able to taste these one day Pille, maybe in Japan? They are really delicious!
Take care!
