It the time of year when persimmons are ripe on the trees. People often have one or two in their yards and enjoy eating in various ways. Here's a tree that's near our house full of ripe persimmons now:
You can see that the leaves have already fallen off, but the fruit is just getting ripe now. One type of persimmon is nice and sweet to eat fresh. Another type is quite bitter though, but after hanging it out to dry for awhile, it becomes sweet. On our drive out to the GamaRock festival today, we found some persimmons for sale by the side of the road:
Ayako was happy that we could buy 6 for ¥100 since usually you could only buy one for that price in the supermarket:
Here's me posing by a persimmon orchard:
