Pears have been cultivated in Kyotango City, Kyoto Prefecture, since the Meiji period (1868–1912). Pears grown on the Tango Peninsula are recognized under the regional brand name Kyotango Pears.
The main variety is Gold Nijisseiki, an improved version of the well-regarded Nijisseiki pear, developed to enhance its flavor and make it more enjoyable to eat. These pears have a crisp texture, refreshing sweetness, and abundant juice, offering a delightfully fruity taste.
Some Kyotango Pears weigh more than 400 grams each. Despite their generous size, they retain their delicate flavor rather than becoming bland, allowing you to fully enjoy the fresh, juicy goodness that makes Japanese pears so appealing.
