Positioned as a high class Japanese confection our Hoshigaki, or Japanese Dried Persimmons, have a delicate sweet taste and smooth texture that spreads in the mouth like no other dried fruit.
Sourced exclusively from the orchards of southern Nagano, these persimmons carry the prestigious Geographical Indication (GI) seal, guaranteeing a superior high-quality product. Each fruit is subjected to traditional kneading and drying techniques, transforming the flesh into a soft, smooth consistency unlike any other dried fruit.
Naturally nutrient-dense, these dried persimmons are packed with Vitamins A, C, and B-complex, alongside essential minerals, polyphenols, and dietary fiber.
Whether you are seeking a high-class gift or a nutrient-dense superfood snack, the Ichidagaki offers a sophisticated flavor profile—rich, chewy, and natural—that stands in a class of its own.
100% natural and healthy snack that helps curb your hunger between meals.
- Premium GI-Certified Quality: Authentically grown in the South Nagano region, a territory with over 500 years of kaki cultivation history.
- Tokushu (Superior) Grade: Award-winning quality. Each persimmon is hand-selected for its massive size (30g+ per piece). In the world of Hoshigaki, bigger size translates directly to a richer, deeper flavor profile.
- Traditional Technique: Each fruit undergoes a meticulous "kneading" process to ensure a soft, chewy texture and concentrated sweetness.
- Natural Sugar Crystallization: The signature white "powder" on the surface is a natural glucose glaze that emerges during the drying process, indicating peak sweetness without any added sugars.
- Nutrient-Rich Profile: A powerful source of antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber, making it a healthy alternative to processed sweets.
- Limited: A rare winter delicacy, harvested and sold only from December through early March.
- Seasonality: Limited availability (December – early March)
- Storage: To maintain the integrity of this product, please refrigerate immediately upon arrival. Please avoid ordering if your shipping destination is hot, as we cannot guarantee product integrity in hot climates.

I've been a huge fan of dried Hachiya's for decades, but in that time I know I've never met their like.

Service 1st Class. Haven't tried the Persimmon yet. Waiting for a friend to return from China. Good things are worth waiting for!!
- YBYoshie B.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3/9/26It's too tasty
It's expensive, but I'm glad I bought it.
If you eat this when you're tired, you can move again.
It's for a limited time, so I'd like to buy it the next time I go back in.
