Our First Persimmon
Sydney, Brian and I had our first Japanese persimmon today! I guess they sell them in the states, too, but I'd just never had one until now. It looks like a yellow tomato, except that it is very firm. You peel the skin off. It's texture on the inside is sort of like a plum except it is very sweet--not at all tart like plums can sometimes be. It was "oishi" (Japanese for delicious)!
