It's the finest one. That's not right. Even so, the price has calmed down.

Among the fruits that are now available, the one with the highest sugar content is this citrus. I recommend it.

"Koryoku" It is grown from the natural crossing of a species called "Hayward". Registered varieties in 1987.

The long and thin one is incense green from Kagawa, and the normal oval is from Fukuoka.

 

Upper image right: Kiwifruit Fukuoka-produced sugar content 324 yen per piece within 14 degrees Celsius

This is also a delicious variety, but the rosmari food lipo squad will try to taste the food comparison with Kagawa's incense green.

Maskmelon 1200g 12,960 yen 1300g 16,200 yen

       1400g21,600 yen 1500g or more 27,000 yen

The mask has nothing to do with the mask of the mask.

The origin of the name is that it is fragrant like musk (musk).

It is grown carefully in a greenhouse covered with glass instead of vinyl.

Moreover, one fruit on one stem: The sweetness is condensed by the luxurious cultivation method of one stem.

It excels in fragrance, sweetness, texture, and all, and its noble taste is exactly the king of fruit.

Once purchased, ripen at room temperature, and cool it for 2 or 3 hours before the date indicated on the attached bill.

"Melons made in Shizuoka Prefecture are collectively referred to as" mask melon ".

Among them, the one made in Fukuroi City, Shizuoka Prefecture is called "Crown Melon".

At Senbikiya, they say mask melon, but most of them sell Crown melons.

I try to keep this melon in the sun as much as possible.

And when it comes to a certain size, we put a white cloth to prevent it from hitting the sun.

When it hits the sun, it turns green, and the blue smell comes out. ・・・

The concept of Senbikiya is to provide delicious foods at the time of eating.

Therefore, we look at the withering of the melon's "heta" and look at the overall softness and color change to guide customers.

If you say "Press your buttocks to judge," the melon will be damaged.

We think that it is the role of Senbikiya to eat the best food at a delicious time. "

 

IMG_20190214_133042a.jpg

 The fee for the paulownia box is 1080 yen.

"The only country in Japan is such a wooden box, put in a makeup box, wrap it, and put on a ribbon.

In foreign countries, especially in Europe and the United States, fruits are processed into jams (because the sugar content is low).

I think only Japan is the only food that has a high sugar content and a moderate acidity. "

 

IMG_20190214_134720 (2)a.jpg

Assorted fruits 32,400 yen

It is a sophisticated assortment unique to Senbikiya Sohonten.

378 yen per queen strawberry chocolate

Introducing a dish from the Western confectionery corner. It's an item for White Day.

Senbikiya's original Queen Strawberry is made into two colors of chocolate.

 

・・Mr. Yonamine, thank you for teaching me a lot.
