Apparently “wassa” is the nickname of the man who first grew the hybrid, a cross between a peach and nectarine.
Apparently Wassa is quite rare outside of Nagano Prefecture (where it is grown), so I was happy to find it at the market.
The outer "skin" comes off quite easily like the peaches here in Japan.
The flesh is a little firm like a nectarine and also a little sweet like Japanese peaches.
I'm glad we got to try these.

I'm thinking those just might be good in a baked pie.
I love peaches, but the ones here are usually not that good.
I totally envy you being able to eat and try so many fresh fruits!

I think I read something where it was good for tartes, Rowena
Jalna, we had some pretty good ones from H Mart when I was in Hawaii.
V, the fruits are definitely delicious here.
Take care everyone.
