Japanese Noted Foods  Tokudani Tomato  
 Report

What remember that becomes a season of a tomato is this tokudani tomato. it is what became a forerunner of the fruit tomato, and is made in Kochi -- so to speak, they are quality articles. Since it does not sell at the general supermarket, there are few people who get to know. I who like a tomato , want to eat at least once.

This tomato was remembered in June. It had already become in the end of harvest. When each store is looked for in a network, they are only the characters of "an end of sales." It could be found barely and got at last.



A smell is a scent of a tomato surely. It is a size like a ping-pong ball. In inside, the fruit is choked up if it is cut. When it eats, it is hard to chew, and there is little acidity and there is sweet taste just a little bit. To be sure, it is nice. There is a thick and deep taste and there is no sloppiness etc. The skin is somewhat harder. But I can think that there is no sweet taste to the extent that it can be said to be fruit.

Mmm, it is nice truly. But the direction of a price is surprised from the taste. Is the rich man eating such a thing?
