[Pre-Order] Peach 桃 / 1.5kg, 5pcs / 18玉 5個

It is individually wrapped in pieces and well-presented.
Larger size (size 18 / 18玉), 5 pieces in each box.

With its slight thicker skin representing the sweetness level, Japanese peaches are larger, sweeter and more fragrant than peaches from other countries due to its cultivation methods and weather conditions.

To understand why Japanese peaches are highly praised and can catch a hefty price, it is important to learn the process behind creating the fruit.
As they are a very delicate fruit,  each peach is treated with extensive care from bud to the final ripe product. Lots of  measures are in place to make sure that it is not harmed in the growing phase.
Being easily susceptible to even the slightest difference in climate, they are produced in controlled conditions to prevent any undesirable changes in their growth.
In possibly its most important stage when the peach starts to form shape along with its skin, a small bag is attached, covering the fruit to protect it from any external elements and disease.
Once ready, they are handpicked and inspected for any imperfections and discolouration before  being packaged.
Even this stage is carefully conducted where they are each secured in a foam cup, placed beside one another and not on top to prevent any sort of bruising during  transit. 

As the Cherished Fruit of Japan 

Believed to be introduced to Japan around 300BC – 300AD from China, the fruit did not culturally flourish.
It was nowhere near as sweet and succulent as it is today, however it still provided useful in things like medicine and religious traditions.
Due to its elegant appeal in appearance, it was even used as decorative pieces and showed up in various forms of literature.
Over the generations as peaches were developed to be sweeter and more edible, it quickly grew in popularity to the point where it started to be used as a luxurious form of a gift.
These days it still continues as an expensive gift, however they can also be found almost everywhere from department stores to regular supermarkets and is regularly consumed by the population.

An example of the peach within Japanese culture is the legendary folktale of ‘Momotaro’ (Peach boy).
Taking place in Okayama, it follows the tale of a boy named Momotaro that was born from a large peach which was found drifting down a river by an old couple.
Quickly growing strong he sets out on an adventure to defeat the demons that are troubling the island.
It is one of the most famous stories in Japan and with the Okayama Prefecture being one of the main suppliers of peaches in the country, it is evident at how culturally significant this fruit is.
