It's hard for me to determine which one I
like the best.
どれが一番好きか決めるのは難しいです。
I can only say that I like tomatoes and
cherry tomatoes very much when they are in season!
旬のトマトとミニトマトは大好きだと言うしかないです。

Very beautiful harvest!
ReplyDeleteWonderful harvest, I agree with Kiki. Your tomatoes look like the real, "home" tomatoes... the kind I rarely have the pleasure to eat.
ReplyDeleteKiki and Sissi: They all look like jewels to me (laugh). And, unlike jewels, you can eat them! And, they are tasty!
ReplyDeleteHi Hiroyuki, what wonderful tomatoes! Last year I also grew Momotaro and it was a good tomato, although mine were a little thick-skinned. I don't know whether that is typical or not, or just the strain that was available here in California.
ReplyDeleteThis year, the best tomato I have grown is another Japanese tomato, a pink variety called "Odoriko". It is fantastic -- extremely sweet and flavorful. Have you grown it before? Besides that, I've been growing other tomatoes, such as Black Krim, Black Prince, Black Cherry, Cherokee Purple (these are all brown/purple tomatoes), Cosmonaut Volkhov, Sun Gold, Snow White, Bloody Butcher, Paul Robeson, and Doctor's Green. I wonder whether you recognize any of these names, or are they totally different from domestic varieties that you get? Either way, homegrown tomatoes are so delicious!
YSC: Wow, you must have a green thumb!!!
ReplyDeleteSadly, I'm not familiar with any of the varieties you mentioned, even Odoriko! I did some googling and found it's a large variety that has a good balance of sweetness and sourness.
I don't think that Momotaro is particularly thick-skinned, so maybe the soil and/or climate?
