Our Adventures in Japan: yamagata no 3

Thursday, July 03, 2025

Was happy to find fresh apricots at the supermarket.

This particular variety is called Yamagata No (number) 3 and was grown in Nagano.

I hope these are sweet, though I did read online that they may also be sour/tart and better made into a jam rather than eating them fresh...

K and S said...: Hi Anon, it was about 480 grams (about 1 pound) before I pitted them, 450 grams after I took the pits out :) 499 yen plus tax! Take care! Kat; 2:32 PM, July 07, 2025
