One of the autumn fruits commonly eaten in Japan is the persimmon. In Ohno Town, Gifu Prefecture, many persimmons are grown. Currently, a type of persimmon called 'Nishimura Wase Persimmon', which matures early, has been produced. The growers started the work of releasing them to markets and other places from the 7th. This year, because there was little rain and it was cool in June, the color changed from green to yellow and red quickly, and they grew large. A person from the agricultural organization said, 'We hope people enjoy the seasonal taste.'
