JAPAN YAMANASHI ANPO GAKI-SEMI DRIED PERSIMMONS 140GR

Description

“Anpo-gaki” is a type of “dried persimmon” made by drying peeled persimmons. Among dried persimmons, it has a higher moisture content than the powdery type “korokaki” and is characterized by its soft texture. During the Edo period, sun-dried persimmons were called “amaboshi-gaki” (sky-dried persimmons), and it is said that this name was corrupted to “anpo-gaki.”
『あんぽ柿』は「干柿」の一種で、皮を剥いた柿を乾燥させて作られます。干柿のなかでも、粉を吹くタイプの「ころ柿」よりも水分含有率が高く、食感が柔らかいのが特徴です。江戸時代には天日で乾燥した干し柿は『天干し柿(あまぼしがき)』と称され、これが訛って『あんぽ柿』となったと云われます。

Anpo-gaki” has a unique texture that is just right on the outside, yet soft and creamy inside. It is made using a combination of sun-drying and mechanical drying. This year’s harvest is expected to have a high sugar content.
外側は程よい歯ごたえがありながら、中はとろりとした独特の食感が魅力の「あんぽ柿」。天日干しと機械乾燥の併用で作られています。本年産は高糖度の仕上がりとのことで期待が高まります。
