STORAGE

Preserving Kai Komomo Japanese peaches in Singapore requires refrigeration due to their short shelf life. Consume them within two to four days at most to ensure freshness. To extend their storage period, keep peaches in a dry environment. Avoid storing them at room temperature as it accelerates ripening and leads to overripe, rotten fruits with bruises.

To fully enjoy the delightful taste of a Japanese peach in Singapore, remove the refrigerated peach and let it chill in a cool spot away from sunlight. This resting period enhances natural flavours and aromas, ensuring a truly enjoyable eating experience.

FUN FACTS & TIPS

Kasugai offers the ideal conditions for growing peaches, with well-drained soil, abundant sunshine hours, low rainfall, and a significant temperature difference between day and night. The protective mountains in the northwest act as a shield against strong winds, while the basin's unique temperature variations contribute to the development of sweet and flavourful peaches.

The benefits of the land and climate in Kasugai Town contribute to the exceptional quality of these peaches. Located in the heart of the Kofu Basin, the area is surrounded by mountains, including Mt. Kabuto in the northwest and the Fuefuki River in the southeast. The gravel soil deposited by the river provides excellent drainage, and its nearly neutral pH of 5.5 to 6 is optimal for peach cultivation. The region enjoys a mild average annual temperature of 13.4°C and receives just the right amount of rainfall, resulting in peaches with a rich aroma, smooth and gentle mouthfeel, and abundant juice that overflows from their dense flesh.
