What is Shinkansen Pear?

Shinkansen Pear, written as 新甘泉, is a Tottori original Japanese pear variety. It is a premium pear known for its rich sweetness, overflowing juice and crisp texture.

The name 新甘泉 is read as “Shinkansen,” similar to the sound of Japan’s bullet train, but the characters refer to sweetness and spring-like juiciness. This makes it a memorable Japanese fruit name and a popular seasonal pear among Japanese fruit lovers.

This product is written as Japan Tottori Shinkansen Pear because the variety is strongly associated with Tottori Prefecture. Please check with SKC Fruits if you need to confirm the latest carton label, size, grade or sweetness standard before ordering.

Why Shinkansen Pear is Considered Premium

Shinkansen Pear is valued because it combines the clean crunch of Japanese pear with rich sweetness and plenty of juice. Selected batches are often promoted with sweetness grading, and some Shinkansen-grade pears are selected to meet a 13° Brix or higher standard depending on the supplier.

Japanese pear production also places strong attention on fruit appearance, texture, sweetness and handling. Premium pears are usually selected carefully so that customers can enjoy a more consistent eating experience.

Shinkansen Pear Season

Shinkansen Pear is a seasonal Japanese pear. In Tottori, the harvest period is generally short, commonly around late August to early September. Singapore availability depends on Japanese harvest timing, export supply, shipment and stock condition.

Because the season is short, this pear may not be available all year round. Please contact SKC Fruits if you need to confirm current stock or upcoming shipment.

Shinkansen Pear vs Other Golden Pears

Shinkansen Pear should not be confused with general China golden pears, Shandong golden pears, Hebei crown pears, Bing Tang pears or Akizuki pears. These are different pear names and should not be used interchangeably unless the carton label confirms them.

How to Choose a Good Shinkansen Pear

Choose Shinkansen pears that feel heavy for their size, with fresh-looking yellow to golden skin and no mould or leaking. A good pear should feel firm and juicy, not soft or collapsed.

Japanese pears are usually eaten crisp, so they do not need to soften like Western pears. Natural speckles or small surface marks may vary by batch and do not always affect the eating quality.

How to Eat Japan Tottori Shinkansen Pear

Shinkansen Pear is best eaten fresh and chilled. Wash gently, peel if preferred, then slice around the small centre core.

The pear is naturally juicy, so it is ideal for after-meal fruit, premium fruit plates and Japanese fruit sharing. Eat soon after cutting for the best crunch and freshness.

• Wash gently before eating
• Peel the skin if preferred
• Slice around the centre core
• Serve fresh and chilled
• Add to premium fruit platters
• Enjoy as after-meal fruit or Japanese fruit gift sharing
• Store cut pear covered in the refrigerator
