As mid-November passes and the mornings and evenings start to get colder,
In Ofunato, the drying process for the specialty product ``koro persimmon'' is at its peak.
The colder the weather, the more the persimmon's astringency turns into sweetness, producing delicious dried persimmons.
Koro persimmons are rich in dietary fiber and are also a treasure trove of pectin, carotenoids, and vitamin C.
The orange ``Tamasudare'' lined up in front of the eaves of farmhouses has become a winter feature.
