Japanese Kyoho Grapes

Kyoho grapes are a popular and highly sought-after slip-skin variety of grape grown in Yamanashi and Nagano prefectures in Japan. These grapes grow in large, homogeneous clusters, and are characterized by their huge, round to oval shape. The skin of Kyoho grapes is easily separated from the flesh, and has a smooth, taut, and thick texture, with a natural bloom that protects the grapes from fermenting and moisture loss. The grapes' rich purple color, which may appear almost black, is one of their distinguishing features, along with their sweet taste, high sugar content, and mild acidity. With their juicy, seedless flesh, Kyoho grapes have rightfully earned their name, which combines the Japanese words for "gigantic" and "peak." Overall, Kyoho grapes are a unique and delicious grape variety that is highly prized among grape lovers.

STORAGE

After buying a bag of grapes, place it in a vented plastic bag, remove any rotting or decaying grapes, and store it in the refrigerator. They remain fresher for up to a week if you check on them periodically and remove any damaged grapes.

FUN FACTS & TIPS

Kyoho grapes can be served chilled and eaten on their own, or they can be sliced and tossed into salads, blended into fruit bowls, piled into parfaits, or presented on charcuterie boards with salty cheeses. The grapes can also be frozen and eaten like sorbet, pureed into smoothies, or sliced and piled into whipped cream sandwiches. Kyoho grapes, in addition to fresh preparations, can be boiled into jellies, jams, and compotes or used as an edible garnish over tarts, cakes, pies, and ice cream.
