Koshi persimmon

Koshigaki is a specialty of Kashicho in the western part of Kamaishi City. When persimmons begin to grow in the gardens of Koshi Town, it feels like autumn in Kamaishi. Koshigaki is a type of persimmon that has been harvested and smoked in a persimmon room at an appropriate temperature for about a week to remove its astringency. After smoking, the color changes from brown to bright red, and the texture is soft and jelly-like, similar to a tomato. In autumn, the Koshigaki Festival is held around the roadside station Kamaishi Sennintoge. Please come and enjoy the taste of autumn in Kamaishi.

We are proud of our kelp, which ranks among the top in production and sales in the prefecture. It is sure to be useful in a variety of situations, such as stir-fried, seafood salad, side dishes, and boiled tofu.
