Yamashitaya Sosuke Fresh Ichida-Gaki Dried Persimmons 800g – Premium Japanese Dried Fruit from Nagano

Experience one of Japan’s most treasured traditional sweets with Ichida-Gaki, premium dried persimmons carefully crafted in southern Nagano, Japan.

Ichida-Gaki is made from a specific astringent persimmon variety cultivated for over 600 years. Through a meticulous 10-month process—from growing to hand-drying—each fruit is transformed by skilled artisans into a naturally sweet delicacy. Morning mist from the Tenryu River and the region’s ideal elevation create perfect conditions for producing these exceptional dried persimmons.

Soft, plump, and delightfully chewy, Ichida-Gaki offers a rich yet refined sweetness, with natural sugars concentrated through traditional drying—no added sugar required. Lightly dusted with natural white glucose bloom, each bite reveals a vibrant orange interior and a luxurious texture often described as “natural Japanese wagashi.”

Perfect as a tea snack, healthy dessert, or versatile ingredient, this 800g value pack is ideal for home enjoyment.
