As it was my first time picking persimmon, the "Shin-chan Orchard" owner, Mr. Motozono, took the time to explain how to distinguish which kaki were ripe and ready to be picked. It seems that the most delicious kaki usually have a deep orange color all over and 4 bright green leaves firmly attached to the surface of the fruit. Mr. Motozono started by saying, "The real essence of kaki picking is searching and choosing the fruit yourself!" Each and every kaki looked so delicious, it was difficult to know where to start!

Here is "Shin-chan Orchard" owner Takuya Motozono.
At first, the staff are on hand to explain how to identify tasty kaki and the correct method for picking them.
