Dried pears
Recently, the number of domestically produced dried fruits has increased, but you don't see many dried pears. That's why you might be curious about what they taste and have a texture like.
The best pears to dry are not the sweet and soft red pears such as Kosui and Hosui, but the sour and crispy green pears. Enjoy the flavor of the pears that have been reborn through drying in a letter sent from the orchard.
Sweet and slightly refreshing.
It's new, yet nostalgic.
The variety chosen is the 20th century
The green pear variety chosen for the dried pears is Nijisseiki, which has long been popular for its refreshing acidity and gentle sweetness. The raw material is a green pear variety called Gold Nijisseiki, grown in an orchard in northern Kyoto. Unlike red pears, which are popular for their sweetness and almost tart taste, Nijisseiki has a low sugar content, so by drying it slowly at low temperatures, the sweetness is gradually concentrated.
The lingering acidity also adds a refreshing accent to the flavor. The texture changes from crisp to moist, but each piece is just as satisfying as a fresh 20th century pear. Sliced to resemble letter paper, the dried pear gets sweeter the more you chew it, and it's a new yet somehow nostalgic taste.
Also available as snacks, side dishes, and fruity appetizers.
There are many occasions in daily life where "Letter from a Pear" is a good choice, where you can savor each piece by chewing it carefully as if you were reading it. For example, when you want to take a break and make some tea. Add it to Japanese tea or float it in black tea like fruit tea, and the warmth of the tea and the sweetness of the dried pear will soothe your body and mind.
We recommend enjoying it with bitter chocolate as a snack with tea. It also goes well with Western alcoholic drinks such as wine, whiskey, and highballs, which go well with dried fruits, as well as dry Japanese sake. If you have cream cheese, you can easily make a slightly stylish appetizer by putting it on crackers to make fruit canapés, or wrapping it in prosciutto.
