Japanese Fruit Fever in Hong Kong

Why’s everyone in Hong Kong so crazy for Japanese fruit? 

The Japanese quality at its best

Japan is famous for its exceptionally hard-working culture and the meticulous care for the quality of products they manufacture. The label ‘’Made in Japan’’ has become a synonym of high quality of production, care for the tiniest detail as well as artistically beautiful packaging. Despite being a rather small country, Japan largely invests in development of agriculture and biotechnology. No wonder Japanese agriculture products are among the most craved in the Hong Kong market. The Japanese high-quality fruits are famous for their sweetness, freshness and beauty. Not only are they a luxury fruit option but also an alternative and fashionable element of a healthy lifestyle.

Which fruits should you try?

With the Japanese fruit season at the door, it is useful to get to know some best Japanese fruits available in Hong Kong. Unfortunately, there are so many varieties of Japanese fruits that some of them cannot be found abroad. In spite of that many of the healthy and sweet Japanese fruits surprise us with their premium taste and extraordinary quality even in Hong Kong. From exceptionally sweet strawberries to famous Japanese ume plums, from crunchy Fuji apples to king melon, almost every fruit looks worth trying. Among all the Japanese fruits available in the Hong Kong’s market, you should definitely try these five:

• Japanese dark grapes: they are bigger than usual grapes so many people prefer to peel them before eating. They are also much sweeter and exceptionally juicy.
• Fuji apple: probably the most famous kind of Japanese apples, grown mostly in the city of Hirosaki and the entire Aomori prefecture. They are crispier than normal apples, stay fresh much longer and have a beautiful red colour.
• Nashi pear: traditionally cultivated in Japan, nashi pears are especially important to Japanese history and culture. They have yellow skin; they are rounded like apples and very crispy.
• Orin apple: originating in Aomori prefecture, Orin apples have a characteristic green skin and very aromatic taste. They are much crispier than traditional apples.
• Japanese melon: it is one of the most famous Japanese fruits, available in many different kinds, such as Shizuoka Melon, Arus Melon or Cantaloupe Melon. They are all plump in shape and very sweet, which makes them a perfect choice for your dining table.
