The plums were from Yamagata...bummer that the first one we tried were hard, not too sweet either. Hopefully the other 3 will be better.
Hebesu is a citrus from Miyazaki...like lime but not as sour...delicious!
It is fun discovering new fruits and veggies.
Too bad about the plums Kat.....though the limes make it "cup half full".....nice that you get to explore all the different produce.
ReplyDeleteLOL, since you're from Hawaii, don't you love hard fruits? I think last year, the markets started shipping in something called cherry plums. They are so sweet and crunchy. Kind of wonder if they are supposed to be softer/juicier when ripe, but regardless, they are so good.
