“Tokushu” (特秀) peaches are ranked the highest in the Japanese “Shu” (秀) peach grading system, and indicates that the fruit is about the size of an adult’s fist and is covered in fine fuzz. The skin has a pinkish hue while the pale white flesh is juicy, soft, tender and melts in your mouth. In terms of taste, it should be rich, sweet and leaves a lingering fragrance. Other ranks in this grading system are “Aoshu” (青秀), “Akashu” (赤秀), “Yuhin” (優品) and “Muji” (無印).
Selected Products Direct From Farm
White peaches are known as the “original Japanese peach” and were discovered by horticulturalist Mr. Shigero Okubo in Okayama Prefecture in 1899. “Hakuhou” and “Kawanakajima White Peaches” are all iconic varieties that have been developed and improved upon since the initial discovery. White peaches are characterised by their large size, thick flesh and creamy white appearance. The flesh is soft, tender, aromatic, sweet and very juicy. If you love Japanese peaches, then you don’t want to miss the white peaches.
