GINZA SIX
Ever since Tsutaya Books opened, I have been visiting GINZA SIX more and more often.

The galleries “THE CLUB” and “Artglorieux” also keep up with the latest trends in contemporary art, so for an art collector it has become quite an interesting spot, hasn’t it?

This time, I would like to introduce a recommended sweet found at that very GINZA SIX.
Fresh & Semi-Dried Fruit
When you hear “fresh dried fruit,” you may be left puzzled, but “Aya farm,” which I am introducing this time, is Japan’s first specialty shop for domestically produced dried fruit.
Basically, two types are available—”fresh dried fruit” and “semi-dried fruit”—offering “dried fruit in which you can taste the juice.”
These are sweets that lock into the fruit the texture unique to each one, a refreshing, crisp aroma, and a matured, concentrated “fresh savoriness” that cannot be tasted in either fresh fruit or ordinary dried fruit.
*The best-before period is 7 days for “fresh dried fruit” and 90 days for “semi-dried fruit.”
Semi-Dried Fruit Assortment Box
The recommended product is the “Semi-Dried Fruit Assortment Box,” containing 9 kinds of semi-dried fruit × 2 pieces each, for 3800 yen including tax.
The credits are listed on the back, and all of the fruits are domestically produced. They are made by “Okasho,” a company in Fukushima Prefecture. Many of the fruits also appear to come from the same prefecture.
The 9 kinds of semi-dried fruit packed inside are apple, fig, peach, nectarine, golden peach, Japanese pear, European pear, mandarin orange, and lemon.
Lemon
A rich lemon with concentrated tartness and sweetness.
The apple recommended by the shop staff. Mmm, this is delicious!
A fine treat that would surely be appreciated as a gift.
How about giving it a try yourself?
