Just wanted to share some photos of fuyu gaki, probably the most popular variety of ama gaki (sweet persimmon) at least in the Kanto area (including Tokyo).
富有柿の写真を少し載せます。少なくとも関東地方（東京を含む）では最も一般的な甘柿だと思います。
甘く（といっても、さわし柿よりは甘くない）、種があります。
この品種は小さい頃から知っていて、東京にいる頃は好きでしたが、今ではさわし柿のほうがずっと好きです。

I grew up eating fuyu gaki. My grandparents house has a very large fuyu gaki tree in the back yard and they would send bags of them home with Mom. Towards the end of the season, we'd get kind of tired of them. When my grandparents moved from Sacramento (Northern California) to a suburb of Los Angeles 50 years ago, they brought that tree with them.
I live 400 miles away now, but Mom still mails me some if I remember to ask. The fuyu gaki in the supermarkets up here are under ripe, very small and are never as good as the ones off of grandma and grandpa's tree.
Cheryl: Wow, how lucky you are!!!
