Japanese Ruby Roman Grape
The grape is a premium variety of grapes from the Ishikawa Prefecture. The local team has spent 14 years in developing and cultivating this variety. Each grape is at least 31mm in diameter and weighs at least 30g, and the sweetness level must also reach 18 brix. These grapes must also be purchased through market bidding, making them the most expensive grapes in the Japanese market.
Juicy and sweet with a pleasant tartness, the Ruby Roman Grape has wine red skin and its size is double that of normal Kyoho grapes. The total annual production is very low, so this grape is very precious – just like rubies!
Japan Oita Izumi Farm Yuho Grape
Hailing from Izumi Farm in Oita Prefecture of northern Kyushu, which is a city’super partner farm. The farm grows its grapes in sandy soil with good drainage, which is perfect for producing high-quality, high-Brix grapes.
The farm produces over 14 grape varieties, including Shine Muscat which is much loved by Hong Kongers, and the Cat Eye Grape, all of which are very popular both locally and overseas. The green and seedless Yuho Grape is a hybrid of the Shine Muscat and Tenzan grapes. The fruit is the size of an egg, very sweet with a musky aroma, and highly enjoyable.

Not only do they have a sugar level of at least 17 brix, the green grapes are also seedless and can be enjoyed with the skin on.
The climate of Yamanashi Prefecture has all the right conditions to producing delicious grapes, hence it is one of the biggest grape producers in Japan.
